    Story 8/10.

    The story is about a cat that falls by accident in a big hole and gets trapped in some type of futuristic robotic world that is sealed from the exterior world. In this world, robots live as people in a city that resembles a human city, with favelas (inequality), stores, robots singing, dancing, talking, drinking, and being oppressed by other robots.

    In that context, we find another robot that is actually, plot twist, the last human in the world, and with him, we communicate with other robots and discover little by little what happened in this world.

    In a nutshell, this is a dystopian world in which every human died from a plague but the robots that served them evolved to inherit the human's habits.

    The story isn't the best one but works very well, especially the mystery of discovering things slowly. The only thing it lacked was a longer duration since it took just 5h30 to finish it and maybe less disposable characters, since every character except the human-robot and the cat are disposable (even the human is disposable in the ending), and all of them are disposed of without a plausible reason.

    Gameplay 8/10
    No doubt this is one of the most creative games I've played in my life. Playing as a cat is very interesting and creative but that is not the only thing that makes this game so creative, it is how he constantly introduces you of new mechanics and discards them, so they don't feel tiresome, for instance first you play just as a cat, then a cat + robot, then you have to flee from "mini-kirby" enemies type, then they give you a weapon that can kill them, then they remove this type of enemy and introduce a sentinel type of enemy.

    But the gameplay consists more of solving puzzles. The puzzles are mostly well done they aren't hard enough to search in the Google the solution but they aren't so easy that you don't feel good for solving them. Also, there are many situations you need the cat agility, speed and size to solve the puzzle/issue and that feels good.

    But, there are some parts with puzzles that aren't so well done IMO and although the gameplay mechanics aren't tiresome these parts can be.

    Overall, it was a great experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Лучшая игра из тех, что выходили в последние годы, в которые я играл. А играл я в них не много, к сожалению. Но не об этом. В Stray мы, играя за кота, попавшего в город роботов, должны вернуться "наверх", в обычный мир, в котором, судя по всему, совсем не осталось людей, попутно узнавая этот город, когда-то населенный людьми, и знакомясь с роботами, которые после них остались. Кот начинает путь в одиночку, встречается с местными маленькими монстрами и убегает от них, в городе никого нет. Но затем он встречает искусственный интеллект B-12, который остается с ним до самого финала. Он переводит для кота все разговоры роботов и надписи, а также каким-то образом оцифровывает все находимые предметы, которые помещаются в специальный "рюкзак" на коте. Непосредственно после встречи мы попадаем в первую открытую часть города, в которой находим нужного робота, помогаем ему и еще нескольким, и, по желанию открыв все углы, двигаемся дальше. Не буду подробно пересказывать сюжет, чтобы оставить место для впечатлений. Словом, преодолев еще несколько опасных участков с маленькими монстрами и пройдя еще один полуоткрытый сегмент, мы добираемся до главной части города, находим нужного робота из местного сопротивления, попадаем с ней в тюрьму, выбираемся и на метро доезжаем до станции, где расположен выход на поверхность. Здесь B-12, который по ходу пути вспомнил, что был человеком, жертвует собой, чтобы открыть верхние створки ворот, блокирующих выход и накрывающих город куполом, и это выглядит трогательно. Кот возвращается в свой мир. Мне крайне понравилась это простая, но интересная история. Игра хорошо оптимизирована и позволяет насладиться прекрасно проработанными локациями в стиле киберпанк. Геймплей незамысловат, но для новой игры, в которой ты бродишь за кота, пытаясь найти путь домой и выжить, он подходит. Роботы интересно копируют поведение людей. Сегменты с "убеганием" от монстриков и с их уничтожением тоже сделаны неплохо. Ну, и небольшая история и предыстория местного мира не дают заскучать, учитывая, опять же, что это киберпанк. Игра достойна прохождения и, возможно, перепрохождения. 10 наколок на рюкзак кота из 10.… Expand

    A fresh adventure game that puts you in the position of a stray cat exploring a post-apocalyptic world. Read on for a genuine, unbiased review from someone who does not raise any pets.

    The environment of Stray is designed beautifully, with some cyberpunk undertones and many aspects of the game that give the cat dynamic a realistic tune. The game necessitates self-guided exploration and    A fresh adventure game that puts you in the position of a stray cat exploring a post-apocalyptic world. Read on for a genuine, unbiased review from someone who does not raise any pets.

    The environment of Stray is designed beautifully, with some cyberpunk undertones and many aspects of the game that give the cat dynamic a realistic tune. The game necessitates self-guided exploration and puzzle solving, and spans across a few areas, which start from the bottom of the city, heading up.

    But despite the hype behind this game due to its main character being an adorable cat (which heavily panders to the feline-loving crowd), the game as a whole lacks content, and the extremely positive reviews are brought about by that hype and not a pragmatic analysis of the game. The ending was also anticlimactic, ending abruptly and leaving behind unresolved plot holes.

    There isn't much to do in the world besides blindly going around trying to figure out where to go next, which is where you spend the bulk of your time. The NPCs in the game are unironically robotic and all but the main ones give no more than two lines of speech each. You could count the total number of quests that you must go through on a hand or two.

    Overall, the aesthetic the developers were striving for was certainly achieved, but Stray remains an early access proof of concept at best. There were many gameplay features introduced that only saw use once or twice. In its current state, I find it highly difficult to recommend this game at MSRP. I'd advise waiting until it becomes $15 or less.    … Expand

    Appealing, but too short.

    A friend suggested this game to me and said:"You will like it. Exploration, a calm experience". He was right; I enjoyed it. But it is not as great as many people say. When the first cutscene began, the graphics and the chosen colors reminded me of Portal 2.

    A friend suggested this game to me and said:"You will like it. Exploration, a calm experience".
    He was right; I enjoyed it. But it is not as great as many people say.
    When the first cutscene began, the graphics and the chosen colors reminded me of Portal 2. The colors and the orange-teal-look may be nice, but one the other hand many items, textures and effects are outdated. The game uses UE4, if i am not wrong.
    The developers achieved the maximum of what the engine offers. But for today's standard, its not enough. On PS4 I had to struggle with many lag issues, one time the game even crashed (when entering a map in the sewers chapter). Performance problems so long after the release are not good.
    Also many objects have no or less weight, so colliding with the cat turns out ridiculous. The bad mirror animation is not acceptable.
    The main issue of the game is the very short play time. It took me six hours, you can finish it in four without missing any important part of the game. Four hours is not enough to justify the price.
    When i stumbled on the first memory, the UI predicted that the story would be very short.
    The game is a walking simulator; which is no problem at all.
    I see a huge problem in the way the cat is placed in the world. The only way to communicate is with a little hovering robot via text boxes like any RPG. This does not fit to the alive, speedy cat. Why is the protagonist a cat? Why not a dog or a mouse, a Squirrel or a human? The story would not be different.
    Furthermore the difficulty of the puzzles and the enemy encounters is way too low. You can finish the game without a single death on the first try without any problems.

    I like the setting, also the story and the idea is ok, but the whole story is way too predictable. You can summarize the whole plot in a single sentence.
    There are no easter-eggs, not much cat-related, why is there not a single clue about humans owning cats? Not a single joke about dogs, mice and so on.

    I don't understand the sum of good reviews.
    On the one hand "Stray" is a beautiful and creative game which asks questions about pollution, evolution and the place of animals and humans in the present and future.

    On the other hand the game is nothing more than a four hour experience (cut-scenes included) with technical issues, mediocore plot and more or less outdated graphics.

    I guess anything between 6 and 8 points is fair.
    But 9 or even 10 points are too much for this game. I would compare it to "Tiny and Big". Also an indie game, short story, creative way of story-telling, sci-fi-setting.

    I had fun, i like the game, i will play it a second time, but i expected much more.

    NOT A GAME. It is an experience, that of a cat in cyberpunk. It has no gameplay, just walking. I would also say it should be shorter by couple hours, otherwise it really doesn't bring anything new at all for the last couple chapters. But for what it is, a cat experience, it is done pretty damn well.

I have enjoyed the story very much, didn't experience any bugs or crashes that would impair my experience. Of course there were 2-3 hitches, but tbh - didn't bother me at all, I can endure 2sec of trouble from time to time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was a huge disappointment for me.

    The only feature of the game is that it looks good. There is nothing in gameplay. There are puzzles that even preschoolers can do, and there are also the mechanics of running and jumping. I mean, these are very nice mechanics for the 1990s, but I don't know exactly how this game offers interesting mechanics to people. It seems that no one wanted to look critically at the game. Although the game is short, it is so boring that I kept waiting for it to end even though it ended in 3 hours and 55 minutes. The game has almost nothing to offer you. Of course there is, but what is it? There is jumping. If you are excited to have jumping mechanics in a game, this game is good for you.

    The story that the game tells is also not beautiful, although it does not take itself seriously. I mean, if they made the story incomprehensible and we didn't understand it, we might think that there is something better, but they are officially putting such a simple story in front of us. After he finished, he said, "Well, was that it?" You stare at the screen.

    The only good part of the game is that it looks good, they tried hard to make it look good, they gave it their due, no lie. But if that's all the game has to offer, there are plenty of games that look better.

    Some people who love to be cats love this game, but as a critical person, I have to say that it is one of the worst games I have played in a long time. I could not understand why a game that does not offer anything to the player in terms of gameplay and story is appreciated so much.    … Expand

    Stray, o que eu posso falar desse jogo? Bom, não há muito para falar. Se há algo apropiado para fazer após jogar esse jogo é apenas aplaudir. Aplaudir essa obra prima, onde cada frame se transforma numa pintura de um artista renomado.

    Stray trás uma construção de mundo impecável, onde você, gatinho (vou chamar o gato assim), acorda no mundo exterior, em uma rede de esgoto com seus amigos. Após uma noite de sono, gatinho sai com seu grupo para ir para outro lugar, mas em um deslize, gatinho acaba escorregando e caindo no esgoto. Onde ele vê algumas criaturas estranhas chamadas de "Zurk". Gatinho, então, abandonado e sozinho sai sem rumo pela cidade morta. Numa caminha árdua e longa, gatinho chega num laboratório abandonado que, depois de alguns puzzles, gatinha finalmente encontrara o seu melhor amigo, que o acompanharia por toda a sua aventura. Com mais um pouco de esforço, gatinho acha uma vila segura, onde, ao chegar nela, todos estranharam gatinho, mas depois eles perceberam que gatinho era apenas um gatinho. O mundo de Stray se passa num período onde os humanos criaram robôs autossuficientes e capazes de os substituírem em todas as atividades. Depois de uma possível epidemia, provavelmente todos os humanos deixaram de existir na terra, deixando o mundo nas mãos dos robôs, que antes dos humanos perecerem, eram apenas seus assistentes, que estam presos dentro de uma cúpula subterrânea de de segurança máxima. Como os robôs não sabiam nenhum jeito de sair dali, eles formaram nessa cúpula, uma civilização dentro dela. Mas alguns robôs não aceitaram aceitar e calar-se diante desse mistério que era o mundo exterior. É aí que surgem os extramuros, formados por Clementine, Momo, Zbaltazar e Doc. Eles tem o objetivo de abrir as portas dessa "prisão" para trazer a luz de voltar para a Cidade Inferior. E em meio a tudo isso, gatinho e B-12 tem que achar um jeito de ajudar eles e sair para fora desse muro.
    E é daí onde esse jogo já virou o melhor de 2022. Por toda a interação com os npcs, side-quests muito legais de fazer (o que é algo muito difícil de ver) e principalmente pelo visual. Esse jogo traz gráficos maravilhosos, não só na quantidade de polígonos ou coisa do tipo, mas em como tudo é colorido, cyberpunk e retrô ao mesmo tempo. Esse jogo esbanja personalidade em cima de qualquer Triple A. Prender o jogador ao seus visuais e fazer ele se interessar por a sua história, criar vínculos com os personagem que você conhece, fazer a pessoa que está jogando se sentir imerso na gameplay. Esses são os pontos mais fortes de Stray.    … Expand

    This is one of the few games I would say is actually a 10/10

    while some people say it's too short, I think it ended at the right time because it never overstayed like so many games do nowadays, and it made me want more of the game and world which I think is the perfect way for a game to end

    I mean I respect the people who loved it because it has great graphics, okay gameplay, good story etc. But it just wasn't for me, too much riddles, gets slow sometimes and the story doesn't take you in until you've played 2 hours or more. After that it's story becomes pretty good but the first 2 3 hours feels like 10. For me, a mid game but definitely not bad.

Игра для примерно таких же типов игроков, ибо сама игра при знании всех мест, при прощелкивании всех монологов, форсе всех лок на галопе пробегается за 1,5-2 часа. Но не рекомендую так играть, игра достойна инспектирования каждого угла и докапывания до каждого робота, достойна вклинивания в каждый угол в поисках тайных ходов, достойна статичного наблюдения за происходящим на экране и релаксирования в местах, где можно просто расположиться и расслабиться... не пропускайте это, это божественно и именно это создаёт тот самый вайп, который будет греть душу после прохождения.

    I spent a couple of hours playing Stray and it felt like a generic walking simulator, so I decided to uninstall the game.

    I feel that it received extremely high ratings just because the main character is a cat. The game is average at best.

    Stray is based on an interesting concept which is not that easy to be stretched into a full game and that is exactly where this game becomes a boring shallow piece of game that hides itself behind good graphics and “cat” protagonists.
    The game is introduced to you by smooth controls and a gorgeous environment with beautiful lighting. The artists had a good understanding of colour pallets and were pretty successful with setting the most appropriate mood. At first you are lost in a beautiful city which appears to be mysterious and interesting. But when the game goes on a little more, dialogues are introduced which is to be honest a big slap in the face. The reading completely interrupts the pace of the game and really draws you out of that detailed world. The story -again like the game itself- carries a fresh idea, a unique take on post apocalyptic world that truly makes you think but when it comes to actually turning the idea into a full story, I think it wasn’t good at all. Stray wasn’t able to get me interested in the story even a little bit. There are a good amount of characters but all of them are so hollow and soulless and they all struggle so hard with making the player care about them. There are a bunch of moments where you are supposed to get emotional but believe me you won’t feel a thing.
    Now is the time for the real stuff. I mean gameplay. Well, There’s none of that. About fifteen minutes of stealth and that’s it, for the rest of the game just turn the camera a little, press the jump button, and the game will do the rest for you.
    Overall Stray manages to take you in an atmospheric, well made world with magnificent sound design and nice music and then shatters the illusion with glitches, stupid dialogues, boring gameplay, and so on.    … Expand

    - геймплея, как такого нет, удалось даже уснуть во время прохождения, музыка этому тоже поспособствовала, но в меньшей степени
    - сюжет наивен и прост, роботы подражающие людям это конечно классно, но когда ты слышишь, как один из них говорит, что хочет на пенсии (откуда у роботов пенсия?) жить припеваючи и не работать - это странно. Появляются вопросы: кто им платит зарплату, зачем роботы пытаются ходить в магазины за одеждой либо в бары и тд. В общем вопросов больше, чем ответов.
    - также это симулятор помощи бесполезным роботам, которые ничем тебе не помогают, а только дают каждый раз новые задания, сходи туда, поговори с этим, принеси это.
    -платформинга здесь нет, котик прыгает только туда, куда позволяет игра и только по команде игрока
    - скучные персонажи, которые быстро забываются.

    В итоге имеем посредственную игру за кота, которая не является симулятором, с посредственным сюжетом, неинтересными диалогами и персонажами, обёрнутую в хорошую графику и дизайном локаций, но без геймплея.    … Expand

    Stray cuenta la historia de un gato que se separo de su manada tras caer en una alcantanilla de una ciudad abandonada llena de robots. El desenlace de esta es muy buena, super lineal con muy pocas misiones secundarias que te hagan perder el hilo, es muy interesante, me hubiera gustado que se conociera mas sobre la historia de los antiguos y del gato ya que ni siquiera sabemos su nombre. Tiene una duracion de 6 u 8 horas aprox

    Con respecto a los graficos es una obra de arte, le falta un poco de oclusion ambiental y refinado en el pelaje del gato, increible que se le haya pasado ese "detalle", los escenarios estan excelentemente bien detallados, tanto que hasta te cuentan parte de la historia, dando vida al mundo y a los personajes robots. El diseño de arte de este juego es admirable por otras empresas, insolito que no tenga modo foto.

    Algo que no me gusto es el "recorte" que tiene en los ultimos 40 minutos, en esa parte se presentan escenarios nuevos muy detallados importantes para la historia pero pasan super desapercibidos por el poco tiempo que estamos en el. Lo mismo ocurre en parte con la jugabilidad, durante el juego se nos presentan mecanicas de disparo, de sigilo, de escapar, puzzles, pero son muy poco aprovechadas, las usamos 10-30 minutos y listo, se me hizo un desperdicio.

    La jugabilidad es muy buena, imita muy bien las animaciones y gestos de un gato, es medio tosco en los saltos, incluso hay un boton exclusivo para maullar, que no aporta nada mas que para el sigilo, pero me la pase usandolo en momentos donde creeria que un gato maullaria en la vida real, dandole vida al personaje que es muy callado de por si.

    El juego es muy facil, super intuitivo, no aporta ningun desafio para el jugador, es un walking simulator, no hay para elegir una dificultad.

There are some frustrating bits later on, but the game is short enough that most anyone could play through it eventually. Add to this some excellent, poignant storytelling and Stray is a real winner. It's a unique and charming game that doesn't over complicate its mechanics or overstay its welcome. I honestly wish there were more games like this.… Expand

    Stray's game is very exciting, the gameplay is at a fairly good level, as is the plot, but in some places the game does not work, let's say there is no such button where you need to jump because of which you can die, the fact that the cat copes with all the difficulties suggests that that the game is not realistic, how much realism out of 10? smartest cat in the world

    As for the graphics, the graphics are soapy, it’s hard to watch not the level of 2022, the dialogues are meager, at some points it’s very boring to read them. the game has plot holes that distract from immersion in the world of cyberpunk.    … Expand

    One of the greatest walking simulator games. Graceful cat, nice story, great pacing. Just purrfect

    I just loved this game, it's a Last of Us with Uncharted, which are two games that I love, but in this one, you are a cat, and that is a big plus. The difficulty is good overall, some parts are straightforward and some kind of hard, but nothing that irritates you. The only downside is that it has an end. I hope they release a DLC or something, cause I'd love to see more of it.

    This game is clearly one of the best games ever created.

    This game is an indie masterpiece. Honestly expected just a vague story fun cat game. But instead got a surprisingly deep story fun cat game. Highly recommend

    One of the better and more unique platformer-puzzle games out there with an interesting world building, emotional storyline, satisfying gameplay, simple but fun puzzle and chase/stealth levels, and to top that off it has good graphics, music and sound effects.

    If not for the bittersweet slightly open-ended conclusion, I would've given this a perfect 10.

    I had a good time playing it. The controls feel responsive and you absolutely feel like a cat playing it. You can even scratch carpets and doors! And there's a meow button, that's important!

    I also liked the environments and characters. It felt very unique, which kept me interested in learning what it was all about. The graphics are great, even on the Steam Deck (where I played it).

    The game makes good use of the implemented mechanics. They did a very good job of revealing a mechanic, let you play with it for a while, and then expand that same mechanic, which made it feel new again. They do this several times, and it works well to avoid gameplay fatigue.

    My only, tiny, gripe, is with the ending. It was a decent ending, but it could have been expanded for a better emotional impact. It did feel a tiny bit rushed.

    If you like relatively chill gaming experiences, with puzzles, some action, an interesting world and mostly cozy characters, this is the game for you.    … Expand

    Even if you completely remove the story, the experience Stray creates of being a cat is worth the price alone IMO. The way each set is designed and the way you move through it oozes craftsmanship and a profound obsession for cats. Dogs tend to get more love in games because they're more naturally aligned with the function of an NPC companion, so cats aren't as common to begin with, butEven if you completely remove the story, the experience Stray creates of being a cat is worth the price alone IMO.

    I was expecting this to be a gorgeous cat walking simulator, but nothing more.

    Turns out I was wrong, and I'm totally fine with that.

    The faithfully rendered, authentically impoverished setting goes a bit against the more magical technologies that accompany the cat's adventures. Suddenly, the game is left with nothing more than the atmosphere of each area, which fortunately in Stray's case still means a hell of a lot. [Issue#321]

    Stray is an awesome looking game, with a neon-cyberpunk world that feels like it is alive. The run-time is short enough that the gameplay loop of solving puzzles via finding random items scattered throughout the world is well complemented from sequences that require running from area to area without getting caught by local mutated predators. While Stray is pretty to look at and is fun while it lasts the limitations of movement and rather simplistic puzzles hold this back from being greater than it could have been.

    Leisurely promenades and simple puzzles are interspersed with action moments where you have to flee from local aggressive fauna. There’s also some stealth involved. These segments aren’t stellar, but they do shake things up nicely. [Issue#260, p.58]
