Sanabi is a secret masterpiece. I don't know why it's a secret, but it is. It's a platforming clinic, with extremely tight controls, and the story hit me in the center of my heart. You'll probably play it one more time to speed run it, but I wont. Some games are better left one and done. This is one of those games. Unbelievable.
Sanabi is a wonderful action platformer with great grappling gameplay, but the pacing struggles thanks to the lengthy story sections.

Riding that 2D renaissance wave, SANABI is another neon-soaked platformer that deserves a look at. Gorgeous pixel visuals, fast-paced gameplay and a cracking soundtrack, there’s something for old-school fans and newcomers alike.
Sanabi defies the conventions of the 2D-action platformer genre by prioritizing an engrossing narrative alongside its acrobatic gameplay. While the story scenes may slow the pace, they contribute to character development and add depth to the gameplay. Sanabi is a finely-tuned experience that puts an emphasis on speed and offers a unique blend of story-driven content and skill-oriented platforming, making it an excellent addition to the world of indie gaming.
A unique title depicting cyberpunk in a Korean style. Utilizing chain arms for wire action, which is not easily found in other 2D platformer games, and featuring a touching story that concludes in a single episode make it stand out. However, it's somewhat disappointing that the combat becomes more monotonous as the game progresses.
Sanabi is one of those (very) few action platform games which apply almost all of its focus to the story and characters. As such, its main draw is its plot, which thankfully is quite interesting and well written, holding the whole experience to the end. On the other hand, its gameplay, though well made, is lacking in terms of challenge and in the sense of moveset and abilities progress.
Sanabi is heavier-handed than the general’s chain arm, but anyone taking in by its sense of style will find plenty more where that came from, grappling through yet another video game Neo-Tokyo.
It was perfect in every part of the game I've played this year. The graphics, direction, and story were perfect experiences. The ending part can be said to be superior to any other game. I really want to experience it.

Pretty solid gameplay with an unfortunate amount of meandering dialogue. The plot and setting seem really interesting - except the plot is buried under so many unnecessary and drawn out cutscenes that I had to stop playing it. Still probably my GOTY for 2023 releases.

This is a shame because it could have been great, but it’s ended up slightly less than ok. We’re all used to grappling hooks in games, but although the hook is the core mechanic here it doesn’t feel satisfying to use. But worst of all is that when you die, unlike most other games where you respawn instantly, you’re waiting almost 10 seconds on a loading screen here. Unfortunately this has put me off continuing with the game.

Summary You, a legendary retired veteran, are called upon for one last operation: to ascend a mega-city ruled by a corrupt conglomerate. You were chosen for this mission because of your signature chain-hook prosthetic arm and the ability to maneuver and quickly defeat enemies.
