A franchise that should be recognized more often. I would say that it had something going for a while, then it fell off the tip of the iceberg.
First and foremost, the good thing was it was a open world so it meant you can explore anywhere when it becomes available. Unfortunately, looking at the first game goes by saying that you as the player need to figure out how to get there with no instructions or map (sorry it’s been a long time since I played it). Figures as such that it is best forgotten since progression was futile.
Moving onto the 2nd game. I really enjoyed it, the worst of it which is more towards doubt was it was too short of a game. Completing tasks and the main storyline felt a cut short type scenario. This was promised to be longer in the 3rd installment which made me more satisfied of the development.
Which brings me to what could have been better of all three games that I played. The first Fable is a no brainier: make sense of progression than empty after a cutscene or knowing where to go on a existing map. Following up to the second game, it could have delved into more depth of each character and getting to spend time in various areas more. It felt rushed afterward but was a really good game nonetheless. The third and final Fable was a “Wow” moment that it proved to be getting better from previous games and learning from it. Not much of change, but it could have been more precise on the menu interface since I thought it was too vague, but still a great game.
What are your thoughts of this franchise?
