This is a pretty good game. Nothing outright blew me away, but it held my attention. I really loved just exploring the world, embracing the music and the visuals. The characters were also fantastic; everybody in Sable's village were a joy to speak to and I enjoyed meeting new people out in the world. Also, a big fan of the amount of customisation for both Sable and her bike.

I feel like two things really dragged this game down for me; the framerate and the frequent bugs. For like 60% of your time exploring the beautiful world of Sable everything runs mostly smoothly, but as soon as you get anywhere close to an interesting place the framerate drops and things get choppy. I thought this could have been a PS5 thing, so I move my playthrough to PC and while it was slightly better, it was definitely still felt.

Some of the bugs on the other hand just made it tedious to play. The whistle used to call the hoverbike barely works, so you spend a lot of time just running over to it on foot. Other times cutscenes would just outright break and show the wrong areas and positions.

Another little thing that I don't think is criticism, but something weird I noticed; There's so much colour and contrast that is lost when you don't change the settings to 'high visibility'. Without it set, everything just looks washed out.

Overall good game with some annoying issues that could drive you away.
