    В целом игра зашла, 7 часов геймплея пролетели очень незаметно. Изучать местные локации было интересно, головоломки решать было скучно. 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.

    The game was a surprise free game plus and the only reason that I started playing it was because of 2 things, promotion and my significant other love for cats. But, did not know if it was gonna be a good game and the company who made this game deserves kudos because the game played like a triple A title, with great visuals, graphics, gameplay, also great world showcased.

    Loved this one. A feat of smart level design, animation, lighting systems, and a moving story. I'd recommend this one to pretty much anyone, gamer or non-gamer alike.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring.

    Safe to say there is no gameplay in this game;
    Closer to a visual novel than a platform game or an adventure game.
    There aren't many good mechanics in this game.
    I felt all the time that it was quite clear where to go at each stage and it was too easy, predictable and mostly boring.
    The plot started nice; It was intriguing to follow the poor cat and see how we manage to get along in a cold and intriguing world like they built there.
    Unfortunately the plot became boring, the wisdom of the game has been played artfully in the world many times, and I was not shocked or surprised by anything. The NPC'S just send you on boring missions and fail to convey the message of the interesting world they have built.    … Expand

    Гра супер. Дуже чудова задумка, атмосфера захоплює вже з перших хвилин гри, сюжет не зовсім явний і в фінал гри мене більше розчарував, якись він "незакінчений", на мою думку, і тільки через це 9 з 10.
    Гра в цілому дуже сподобалась, жалію тільки що на той момент не мав коптроллера і не міг пограти на великому телевізорі.    Гра супер.

    I quite enjoyed this game. The graphics were good and I also liked the background music. I am just a disappointed since this was a small game. Anyways I hope the studio comes up with Stray 2. Interested about the afterstory. What happened to the others and did the cat meet with their friends. Anyway good game and hope that many others play this.

    Stray was definitely a bold idea that really paid off in the end.

Being an indie production you may expect to make compromises on quality, but that wasn't the case for this journey as the experience delivered both visually and mechanically to the standards I often set for AAA products (which sometimes even they themselves cannot reach). While the story of Stray is a bit lacking and is it's weakest point in my opinion, the gameplay experience is very strong and imaginative. The developers clearly had an idea - Let's make a game where you play as a regular cat, and go on an adventure. To that end it was an absolute knockout as you're not playing as a cat with powers, or who can talk, or really anything special at all. You're a lost cat exploring to find your way home, solving puzzles, and occasionally being an absolute menace. Along the way you happen to observe the events of the world you're in, and even if those events aren't great, it ultimately doesn't matter. Games are defined by their gameplay first and foremost and in that respect it was fantastic. A great story could have only made it better, but as it is now, it's definitely an amazing achievement for an indie studio and I can't wait to see what they make next.… Expand

    Ok, its a game that you play as a cat and do cats thing! XD What else could you need.

    The story is nice and refreshing.
    Graphics are ok I thin.
    I love the verticality you have on the world and how you can interact with most of the scenery.

    Its a quick and nice adventure for those looking for something new!

    I don't usually rate games, but this was just exceptional!

    From the world building, to the game play, to the incredibly touching story.

    You don't even have to like cats to fall in love with the protagonist of this game. It's a must play, and it's even more special if you love animals. But, that's certainly not a requirement.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the first two hours of playing this, I liked progressing and moving from place to place but couldn't identify a deep narrative or engaging gameplay. Long-ass fetch quests are the bane of my existence so seeing one within the first hour and a half into the game got me a little scared it would become a recurring theme, but it didn't, thank god. Toward the back half of the game, I really started enjoying myself as I explored Midtown, a much larger, more detailed area. They also introduced stealth segments I felt should have been in the game from the beginning, considering sneaking around as a cat is so fun. The story also stuck the landing as B-12, the companion robot, started leaking deets about his past life as a human, a welcome twist that gave the narrative the edge it so desperately needed. Overall, well worth $30, and that best indie debut award it found at the VGAs this year.… Expand

    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.

    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.

It restored my faith in humanity that a couple of people can create masterpiece without tons of money, yet with proper attitude.

    Prepare to be whiskered away by this impurresive cat-centred adventure title that is brief but cute and worthwhile. The cyberpunk inspirations are rousing, but a cat-lead adventure could stand to be cuter and cuddlier, rather than a reminder of grimy triple A fare.

    Ok game, nothing too exciting. Nothing is particularly flashed out, story and gameplay are average. I got a platinum trophy, but that only reinforced shallowness of experience. Meditative games can be good like ex. Minecraft or Stardewvalley or Animal Crossing, but when it is the main and only appeal with no gameplay or story to support it we get Stray, which quickly becomes boring.

La aventura de un gato en un mundo donde los autómatas dominan el mundo es una premisa única y que llama la atención, sin duda un indie que debes probar si o si.
    Historia: La historia comienza como su título lo dice con un gato extraviado en una sociedad de robots, en esta aventura nos acompaña B12 un pequeño dron que nos ayudará no solo a entender a nuestro felino avatar, si no también a los habitantes de este mundo futurista. La premisa es simple pero dentro de nuestra aventura nos toparemos con tantas tramas cómo así lo deseemos o solo centrarnos en nuestra propia aventura. Sin duda la historia de Stray es linda y nos hace reflexionar un poco sobre nuestro futuro.
    Sonido: El actor de voz de nuestro gato hizo un excelente trabajo, tan es así que mis gatos reaccionaban cuando el Michi virtual lo hacía, el sonido general de Stary no es muy sobresaliente pero cumple con su cometido de ambientación, así como su banda sonora.
    Gráficos: En este apartado Stray para ser un indie se luce bastante bien, jugué las versiones de PS4 y PS5, en ambos casos luce bien aunque es obvio que la versión de nueva generación lo hace mejor. Su mundo está bien detallado y trabajado así como nuestros personajes, se extraña un modo foto.
    Gameplay: en extremo sencillo pero no por ello malo, con los movimientos que poseemos debemos resolver los puzzles del juego, los cuales su nivel de dificultad es apto para toda la familia. Ser un gato no requiere de más habilidades de las que poseemos y le da cierta credibilidad a nuestro personaje.    … Expand

I really don't understand those that are putting this in game of the year territory with the likes of Elden Ring and God of War (didn't play Horrizon).… 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.

Which was not that much fun to begin with considering that not only are the developers haters, but the environment in the game is incredibly racist towards Hong Kong culture. It should also be labeled as a robot cyberpunk game featuring a cat. It's more about the robots than the non-customizable kitty you play as. I give it a 2 rating only because the cat was cute and well designed. Not playing any more games by this team again though.… Expand

    it's a beautiful game and it's fun being a cat, but the decision to make a flawed speedrun mode as a trophy lows it's value considerably. cutscenes are unskippable and count against your time. you have to wait for the ai to slowly unlock doors or walk across a courtyard. in short, it was a big time fail in that regard, and needlessly so.

    Stray is a fun, relaxing game that, if you’ll forgive the pun, strays from the decision of so many game developers today to create experiences that are as exclusionary and ball-crushingly difficult as possible.

    Come for the cat, stay for the intriguing environments and characters.

    The way the developers were able to tell a beautiful story about what makes us human and how the robots carry these traits along with them, is just amazing.

    Amazing game. Obviously playing as a cat is exciting all on its own. But playing as a cat in an atmospheric cyberpunk setting with hip robot characters and great stories and puzzles makes this game a must play.

    The core gameplay is awesome, with the only real complaint being it can be a bit tricky to know where to go at times since there is no map.

    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.
