    When I first heard of Stray Gods, I was intrigued. A video game musical might not totally work, but at least it would be interesting to play, I thought. How wrong I was. The concept of Stray Gods is the most interesting thing about it, but the execution is boring to the extreme. If you want a fun musical video game experience, you’re better off watching Singing in the Rain whilst repeatedly changing the volume on the remote. That way you’ll have better songs, a more enjoyable story, more interactivity, and a greater sense of player control than Stray Gods provides.

I'm not a fan of two of the romances because they feel kind of stale, but the other two are done very well and are great for people looking for a place to find themselves in. This game is not huge, or perfect. But it is an absolute masterpiece for the small ambitious indie project it is.… Full Review »
