If you’re looking for an exploration game that’s less about clearing millions of icons, and more about finding your own path through a world filled with mysteries, Sable<\/a> is the game for you. Shedworks’ sci-fi coming of age story encourages you to take the world at your own pace, picking a direction and enjoying what happens along the way. It’s a less stressful, more zen approach to open world design, and right now you don’t even have to worry about how much it costs, as Sable is free to keep on the Epic Store until July 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What mainly impressed me about Sable when it launched was its stunning art-style. Sable was the first game to adapt the unmistakable aesthetic of Jean “Moebius” Giraud into a 3D world, a style that has since been adopted by other games like the city-builder Synergy<\/a> and the upcoming hack ‘n’ slash XTAL<\/a>. But Sable remains the best example of it for my money (not that money is a concern in this instance). You can tell Shedworks agonised over every shade, every angle, every glorious sunset transition.<\/p>\n
