    A really nice game, the story is good, the ambience and music is superb. The gameplay is also good, i've read some people saying it was just a walking sim, well its not. It doesn't have a super complex gameplay or anything but its far from being a walking sim. You can see the developers put some love into this game, the art, lighting, textures, It looks fantastic.

The game only requires player to press jump button without care too much about the environment because there's only one way to go through the path.

It really ruins the gameplay if the game relies on jumping on different platforms. The game can be more fun if it allows player to jump freely and have some traps placed in different areas, so the players will die if they jump carelessly or go to the wrong path.

    The characters are forgettable because they don't have any unique traits that can represent themselves and they have no voice acting. The 6 points are all for the graphics.    … 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

    This game is quite short (4-8 hours), but it's very good. I hope they release DLC for it. I will same that quite a few puzzles aren't exactly user friendly. I had to look a few things up, but overall it's very well designed. I cried at the ending, but I won't say more and risk spoiling anything. I'm happy with it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stray was a nice little surprise and change of pace from the games I normally play. With only 5-6 hours length it does not overstay its welcome. I really liked how you always had visual and sound queues on where to go next or if there is still an item in a room you did not pick up. Movement felt natural after a few minutes but I would have preferred freedom in where to jump. I thought the ending was disappointing, I cant believe you did not reunite with your buddies from the beginning!… Expand

    - 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

    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.
    Not a cat lover? Skip then.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра хороша, умники которые жалуются на то что это просто "симулятор ходьбы" идите играйте в другие игры. Эта игра просто создана как показать какую-то историю. Да , лично мне не хватало тоже свободных передвижений и прочего, но я смирился с этим , ибо понимал что это не triple-A проект, и стоит она не дорого по сравнению с остальными играми. За свои деньги, игра шикарная. Любителям кошек понравиться 10/10. История не настолько длинная конечно, но помним тот факт что и игра сама по себе не дорогая, и не позиционировала как какой-то большой проект. Красивейшая графика, кот ощущается как будто живой, все эти мелкие детали когда кот ходит по клавиатуре, или же запрыгивает на пианино сделано очень круто. Во многих играх такие мелкие детали упускают, но тут это добавили и за это уже игра достойна хорошей оценки. Игра очень приятная, плавная, всегда держит в интересе что будет дальше, интересная история с интересной концовкой. Лично я не ожидал поворота сюжета как в конце и и мне стало приятно, что сюжет игры не читается с первых миссий. Для тех кому жалко отдавать за эту игру 30$ идите играйте в FIFA ,которая стоит больших денег , а на деле является обычной донатной мусоркой.

What I did not expect is how much fun I'm going to have doing this and how pretty it's going to be. 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.
    What I also did not expect is the emotional damage I got from the ending... The feels! I love games that interact with our thoughts and emotions, and are about something more than just clicking on time. So the ending really got to me. He lost a friend! T_T What I'd appreciate would be if we saw him reuniting with his cat friends from Outside after he walks out. That would be a cherry on top, a balm for my soul. So yeah, I lacked this. I was playing to reunite him with his cat crew (that he lost in the Prologue) and I didn't see this happening so a bit disappointing...    … Expand

    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

    What a unique game to see, sure the cat can seem stiff and a little off at times with interaction with the environment. But you can also see how much thought and care went into it. If you are simply a cat lover that sheer panic will kick in when you are remotely in danger, even though its your own character. Very sweet game.

    Stray was a good game, but not one that fully embraced its concept.

It's challenging to say more without spoilers, but it's a shame they didn't make the game more unique to the character. It was never going to be perfect—you are a human controlling a cat avatar after all—but this feels like it didn't even make an attempt.

    Still on the good side of things: the game plays well, is presented well, and is fun to play. The story it tells is good and engaging. The length is extremely appropriate for this type of game, and it never felt like a slog in any regard. I'd still recommend it, but certainly temper your expectations.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i love it. the game is very casual because it's basically a cat walking simulator but it demands exploring every nook and cranny of every level. i loved figuring out the sidequests! they were completely optional. i felt accomplished when i found out all the notebook pages, 8 items needed to continue the game. finding the optional energy drinks was fun. Listening to the muisioc was a pleasure. The 8-bit style music and the weird synth music was so cool to hear. i got emotional a little bit when the cat felt sorry for b12, the tiny little robot. the only few very annoying parts was the chase scenes where the headcrab woul;d overpower my cat and kill it. and the lazer shooting sentinel droids that killed me so many times. i really hated those things. it was thte most frusting part. the part where you had to lure 2 sentinel droids into the little room, i died maybe 6-7 times. one shot of the lazer would kill of my cat. I think the orange cat is super cute too, it looks like puss in boots if he were real life. The game's lore is surprisingly deep. It only gives tidbits of what happened to all the humans and how did robots came to be, and those huge ugly eyeball things in the sewers. They were vcery creepy and were never explained in the game. The visuals are quite impressive. I sometimes found myself going into first person view and looking around a little bit to read something or take a closer look. Some rooms had a lot of little details that were so interesting because it says a lot about the person (robot) living there. By thte end of the game, i was super interested what happens next and I hope there's a sequel! Did B12 survive? did the robot friends make it? What happened to the robots after the roof opened up? so many questions open for interpretation.… Expand

    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

    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.

    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

The story is simply amazing, not much can be said here without spoiling, so go check the game out. The game run well with high settings on my low-end pc, so even a laptop can handle it.

    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]
