    Cons
    - Robot language/audio gets annoying (and illogical if humans created them). Would have been better if they spoke a number of real languages based on what a list of selections in settings - On top of the annoying voice audio, dialogue in general was dull that I wanted to skip through as fast as possible. In most cases, there was no value in striking conversations and you quickly regret it as you press buttons to speed it up - For $20-25 or under, it's highly worth it, but any higher, its hard to justify    … Expand

    Stray is not a "big" game but it is indeed a really fun one. Took me 7-8 hours to finish and i enjoyed everything about it, the game really makes you feel how it is to be a cat in this cyberpunk world and this place is literally perfect for being a cat (and no matter what you say being a cat is FUN).

    The game is also visually beautiful and pretty immersive especially when played on PS5.    Stray is not a "big" game but it is indeed a really fun one.

    Stray is a new take on its genre. Its story was charming, funny, and overall a very fun time. While its length or lack thereof does prevent it from being a masterpiece. Stray is still a charming and adorable game that almost anyone can get something out of.

    Stray is absolutely stunning. The lighting is some of the best I’ve seen and the soundtrack nails each section’s mood, absorbing the player. Above all, Stray is just undiluted fun. It isn’t the longest game you’ll play, but its concentrated experience just cannot be missed.

I was blown away when discovering plot - it's quite simple but very lovely, I cried at the end. Atmosphere of game is excellent. And let's not forget that this is indie game. It restored my faith in humanity that a couple of people can create masterpiece without tons of money, yet with proper attitude. I'm thinking about their marketing - money for charities for homeless animals. This is example how marketing should look like. I love this game!… Expand

    I loved Stray as much as my cats ignored it. Controlling a cat in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk setting was amazing, but even more amazing was the level of detail, humor, and creativity put into it. The game plays extremely well, you get to help a cat saving the world below, and also himself. Everything about the game exudes cuteness and good taste.

В принципе видно что игра создавалась для "отдыха", чтобы удобно сесть на диване с геймпадом в руках и не напрягая мозги умиляться котику, тереться об роботов и конечно же царапать их мебель.В целом игра зашла, 7 часов геймплея пролетели очень незаметно.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers alert!
    First of all, Stray is one of the games which became trendy in late 2022 because of its gameplay that makes it different from the other open world RPG games, unique and popular among gamers. One of the things that caught all the attention from gamers is that the main protagonist is neither human beings nor cyborgs nor aliens nor wizards. It is just a stray cat and the main story is based on the adventure of this little cat which changed the perspectives of the players from the ordinary to a new one.
    “Stray” takes place in the distant future, set in the dystopian city which is also known as “Walled City 99”. The environment is not on the surface of the earth and it is such an underground city populated by robots and mutant bacteria spread out all over the city. The graphics of this game are really impressive and detailed. Not only detailed graphics but also fascinating and interesting lore also make this game perfect. This game is about finding a way to unlock the city, finding a way to upload data into an online network and to save the citizens. Moreover, every chapter in this storyline is also full of mysteries and plot twists. From the point of view of the players, the gameplay is really smooth, the gestures, actions and movement of both main protagonists and villains are also in the best quality and satisfying situations for the players. Not only that, gameplay involves solving puzzles to get clues for the quiz, escaping from the enemies by running through and climbing up the obstacles. There are also interesting kinds of gadgets which players can get from the quiz such as B12 which can show maps, memories and light up while walking, a laser gun which can burn out enemies and so on. These kinds of gadgets also make “Stray” more interesting and unique than the other RPG games. Although the protagonist and villains are perfect, NPCs are not that good in character design. Most of the NPCs in this game are robots and nearly all of their faces are identical which can make the players confused when they have to find NPCs to get quizes or clues. The texture and lighting of the buildings, brightness of the whole game is perfectly balanced. Another important thing which makes this game perfect is the sound system because the background theme sounds change immediately according to the situations of the player which can also increase the intensity of the game and make the player continue to play it. Narration during the story cutscene and the subtitles are also good enough. Like the other games, “Stray” is also a multiplatform game which means it is available on both consoles(PS4,PS5,XBOX) and PC. This one also make “Stray” competitive with the other famous games and one of the best games to choose among a variety of games.
    Last but not least, “Stray” is a completely perfect game for me in all of the fields, storyline, character designs, graphics, sound system and so forth. I really recommend everyone to play this game once in your life to feel the different vibe of an RPG game and this game also won “Game of The Year” award in 2022. So, don’t forget to enjoy the different game vibe    … Expand

Between the fluid cat maneuvering mechanics to the beautiful, neon-lit, semi-open-world environments to the oddly cool and original storyline involving a robot cyber city, this game topped out the coolness meter pretty quickly for me.

    The optimization they apparently did on multiple platforms seemed to scream quality and consistency to me. On the PS5, the dynamic environments really show off their smooth detail in what feels like a solid 60fps. I absolutely love this game and the only reason why it's not getting a 10 is because I know it's not perfect as a video game alone. The cat, although super cute and totally enjoyable to control, could have used a little more visual detail; but I am really nitpicking here. I think I paid $30 for this game, full price, and after playing it, I would happily pay double if I had to rebuy it. This is a perfect cat game.    … Expand

    This game is truly unique and special. At first, I found it a bit weird and silly to play with a cat as the main character, but as I delved deeper, the emotions and experiences became unforgettable. Even the non-player characters (NPCs) left a lasting impression. The game is incredibly fun to play, with an engaging story and immersive atmosphere.

    If you are allergic to cats, hate mystery, exploration and a good atmosphere in video games, don’t play Stray. Otherwise, you’ve probably already beaten it. It’s a rare occasion to get a title such as this. And if it looks like something you might enjoy, that’s likely because you most surely would.

    Stray makes the most of its choice of protagonist early on, really allowing you to do all the things a typical cat would do, though it eventually loses sight of that in favour of spotlighting the short story. That’s no cause for hissing, though it does leave the overall experience feeling somewhat like two kittens from different litters forced together. The combination works better than it should, but we’re ultimately left wondering what could’ve resulted if either half of the game had been given enough space to stand alone. [Issue#18, p.70]

    It sounds ridiculous. And maybe it is. But the first ten minutes of Stray broke our heart. We’re a soft-boiled egg when it comes to animals, even when they're completely fictional. A cat who loses his friends and then gets hurt? Enough for an intense feeling of sadness and pity. It is not the challenge, but the experience that is key in this game. You really play Stray for the atmosphere. And that's exactly right.
