Yesterday we picked up Fable Anniversary, is it worth the $40 bucks? Well, that is a matter of opinion but overall no, skip it. Sure the graphics have been immensely improved from the original game released ten years ago but otherwise, the game is better suited to a phone or tablet.
Picture on the left is from 2004 and the one on the right is from Fable Anniversary. There is no denying that the game is beautiful. However, improved graphics and lighting cannot save simplistic and linear game play that is heavy with load screens. I’m only a couple of hours in and I’m bored. Bored with endless needless clicking on loot cards, through dialogue statements, and quests that are poorly written.
Sure, the interface changes are nice and the smart glass integration is the best done in any game so far. But UI changes and tablet integration aren’t enough to keep you from falling asleep while playing. So, take that same $40 and go have a dinner out with the one you love.
