It mixed up the tone, changed almost everything about the setting, and took players out of their fantasy comfort zone as an all-important hero in a guild full of comrades. It’s from a time when a better sequel didn’t mean bigger, with Lionhead instead focussing on adding more detail and warmth to the world of Albion. On a gameplay level, it is infinitely more accessible to newcomers and has also aged the best in its narrative and presentation. But the sequel Fable 2 would be the far more fitting choice for Game Pass Core. It would be better, sure - it’s one of the most beloved original Xbox games for a reason. If you don’t have a backup save, you’ll have to start again.Įven putting the technical issues of Fable Anniversary aside, I don’t think Fable: The Lost Chapters (an older re-release of the original game with extra content) would have been the best choice either. Worse of all, sometimes your game will load back up in an unplayable state, spawning you in the Heroes’ Guild in your underwear with no way to interact with anything around you. Little things add up, like character outfit previews not working, or all the freezes. Even that won’t save you from all the bugs - some old, some new. The frames per second are boosted, but you’ll have to turn that off if you want anything close to a stable performance. Unlike Fable 3, it plays worse on Game Pass than it did back in 2013. Sure, the assets are all clearer now, but when it leaves us with weird, wide-eyed NPCs dotted around an unstable world, it’s hard to see it as an upgrade. Unlike the charm of the original, the remaster aged very quickly. But you just have to take a passing glance at it to see it didn’t fare well in the jump to HD. Fable Anniversary is the most recent re-release of the first game, remastered for Xbox 360 in the later years of the console’s existence. On paper, this Game Pass choice makes sense.
