Saborus, a gripping horror adventure! Guide the brave chicken, through a deadly slaughterhouse. Solve chilling puzzles and face relentless pursuit. Can you survive?
The idea behind this game had the potential to be an important game with a genuine message made accessible and engaging, but it undermines its own premise with weird humour, awkward gameplay and far too many sloppy details. It's clear Saborus was incredibly lazily made.
The problem is that Saborus is a stealth puzzle-platformer where the stealth sections aren’t that interesting, the puzzles aren’t difficult, and the platforming is a mess.
Lacking horror adventure in which you will guide a chicken through a slaughterhouse
Saborus is certainly memorable, but so is the first time I found a bone in a chicken nugget. It has potential, but you can’t explore it on the Switch, and the tonal shift and odd choices might take away from the overall effect. Truth be told, if it does help someone better understand animal rights and start the steps towards either reforming the industry...
Saborus is one of those games that is remembered more for what it tries to do than for what it achieves.
