Context matters: the viral Fable clip isn’t representative of its combat
TL;DR
A 60-second clip from the Fable reboot that went viral on social media shows a boss fight with little enemy reaction, but it isn’t representative: the boss is a tougher mini-boss on higher difficulty, the full gameplay video shows more varied combat, and the clip is slowed with lower FPS. Additional footage suggests the combat can be more dynamic, and reviewers will judge mechanics in February; don’t base opinions on a single clip.
