    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.

    Nice graphics, lovely story. I don't like cats IRL, but this game is cool. Some parts were dull, seemed like to lengthen the playtime. Overall I'd love a part 2 or a dog version :P

    Another darling little game from Annapurna. The cat looks, moves, and sounds like a real cat. You will feel for this furry little guy. The attention to detail permeates the entire game world. This is the kind of experience you want from your interactive media.

    The game world felt very PS5. The game makes excellent use of the DualSense controller. Mouse and keyboard players on PC will not understand how much the controller integrates with games like "Stray". The game also makes good use of the PS5's graphical prowess. Nothing stands out as a gimmicky. It just looks good and plays well.

    The gameplay is a mix of platforming and casual exploration. You learn about this world and its people. My playthrough was about 5 hours and I felt as if I engaged in most of the conversations. (My PS5 trophies show that I missed some side quests and collectibles.) The platforming is a made for speed. You press X at the right moment to make your cat jump to next ledge. There is no need to perfectly time jump and control landings. The game does not want you to send the cat to its death. Fights are really flights, and the smooth animations of the cat are very helpful as you dodge, weave, and jump away from enemies. The gameplay is very polished for such a small team.

    The story is well done and mainly sold through the visual design of the game. You meet inhabitants of this world that tell you much about themselves by how they dress, their physical state, and body language. "Stray" would have been a success without dialogue, though there is quite a bit of dialogue if you are interested. Annapurna is building its reputation among gamers and raising interest in indie games as a whole. Where AAA games are becoming more mundane, AA games are become more different. I love it.

    Full disclosure, I downloaded "Stray" from my PS+ Extra collection. Even so, I try to never equate value with quality. "Stray" game me an unforgettable 5 hour experience. I my mind, it is a game of the year contender. I hope PS+ Extra delivers more of this.

    One of the most unique games I've played for a while.

I loved how the game incorporate really well in its gameplay mechanics things that a real cat would do to solve puzzles and explore the environments. Actions like climbing on shelves to knock things over, poking objects, scratching walls/doors and even meowing (there's a button just for that) are amazingly done and it's fun. The cat really won me over.

    The objective is to escape from an underworld where the cat accidentally ends up, where robots live in seclusion from the outside world. It took me around 6 hours to finish it. Some people may find it too short, but I'm ok with this. I'd rather play something short but well paced than a game drags on for hours and hours just for the sake of being long.

    Stray is wonderfully atmospheric, with confident design and a surprisingly good story. All the elements come together very well to create a truly unique twist on the puzzle platforming genre. I would have liked a little more, particularly with the ending, but aside from that I can't recommend Stray enough.

    Movement feels a lot like Uncharted for a cat, it is basically fail safe, the challenge comes in stealth/escape sequences. Nothing not done before really except in the context of the brilliantly conceived lore.

    Also, shout out to the music/ambience work, some gifted work there in this.

    All up this is a true blockbuster hidden by a small team dev team that have made a compact, yet layered romp. It respects your time and is an absolute blast.

    A really enjoyable game, at first I thought it was a bit short but that was just after playing a really long RPG so it may have just seemed short by comparison... I found I enjoyed playing the whole time though, and enjoyed exploring enough I'll probably also go back and re-play some parts. I also found the game made good use of emotion and (most importantly) presented being a cat really well.

The sound design is gorgeous, there are a few collectibles and quirky achievements for completionists, and overall it's just a really solid, confident package.

    For me it was well worth the asking price and will be remain a memorable one, I'm sure. I wish there was a little more content, but that's the only real fault I can find. Absolutely worth a play - and we should support developers that create complete, fully-realised titles without any of the industry nonsense we're too often subjected to with this current gen.

It is now hard to understand nobody else has ever thought of making a game where you play as a cat. A platformer like this, with puzzels, verticality, lends itself perfectly for cat's size and agility. You can also do alot of the typical cat stuff: meow with a buttonpress, give friendly headrubs, scratch furniture, dab at TV remotes, sleep in cozy spots, jump into cardboard boxes, be a little too curious, and of course, knock stuff off of ledges :)

    The art direction is gorgeous, the robots, the city environment, animations and gameplay are a joy to play around. On PS5, the 4k and solid 60 fps make for a smooth experience.

    There are a few missed opportunities though, in my opinion: the story is very short. I took my time anywhere I could and finished in 8 hours. It is easily doable in much less, and there's a trophy for doing it under 2 hours, which is easily doable.
    This is mainly because the game is very linear; only the paths that will take you somewhere where you need to go, are accessible. You cannot go wrong. Some paths are clearly blocked, but often I thought "too bad I cannot go there", even though a cat clearly should be able to. But if the jump-prompt does not appear, you cannot jump onto it.
    The puzzles presented are also not very difficult.

    Again, this all does not really take away any enjoyment. The pace is good, story enjoyable. Leave me wanting more of it!

I enjoyed the parkour immensely and the soundtrack is top-tier. The subtle storytelling with the environment is a treat, and your main character being a cat enhances the experience, the story and game would not work with a humanoid protagonist.

    Presiona O para maullar, el mejor juego Indie del año está qui señores y señoras. 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.

    Stray is a memorable, and refreshing game that does not overstay it's welcome (literally.. it's a very short game). Playing as a cat is something I didn't know I wanted, and the execution is near purrfect. Would love to see more quirky games like this in the future, and from Annapurna.

    A quite unique and charming game, very different to many I've played. It's essentially a narrative driven platformer with some evasion/minimal combat and puzzle elements. There's an overall sci-fi/cyberpunk setting with some surprisingly horror moments thrown in. Not a long game, 10 hours? But very good, the ending is memorable.

    The main question of player at the start and through the middle of the game - What happened with humans?And by exploring the world you learn more about it. In this game there is no words ( in our language ) spoken, and this also shows how you can get empathy to the beings even without any speech, only words written and actions.
    Soundtrack completely complements the whole game, with every "search" or "walking" segments the game starts playing themes that completing the sequence. The main theme is amazing though.
    The gameplay introduces us with literally a cat life. You can attach surfaces,sneak in places humans and robots couldn’t, and this game has even a meow for a specific button in controller.Also there lots of puzzles in this game.
    I don’t know what to say more, this game has become very personal to me, ever since announcement. So I thank B 12 and Annapurna Interactive for making such a pleasant,cute and relaxing journey, that brought me to tears in the end of it.

    The way the cat moves is so realistic. I was sad you couldn't just run and jump anywhere like a cat but the mechanic they created for jumping works well enough. My only real negative is the running feels a little slow like it's a movie framerate. That's just the way it is though. I even like the fact you can act like a cat with the robots and they all have different reactions.

    The characters in the world and the story is really interesting. It's not complex or entirely original but it's unique because it's experienced from the perspective of a cat and your companion robot. Parts of the story do involve the cat getting hurt and the sounds and animations are very realistic so be aware of that.

    There are puzzles and little side missions but overall the game is short if you want it to be. I replayed this a couple of times for the things I missed and a speed run. It's a little easy but it really is more of an experience than a challenge. Some of the later parts are a little harder but once you figure out what you're supposed to do it gets easy. I really enjoyed playing it and yeah it's short but it was good. I really hope they make more in this story.

    Only issues I had: a few graphical issues here and there, somewhat excusable for a game with so many assets but did seem odd when they arose. Also, you can basically only jump when you get close enough to a ledge and see the on screen prompt to press the button. This made the game feel more restrictive than it should. That said, it is still a lot of fun to explore the world and see how far you can go.

    A great game for someone who likes cyberpunk setting. Story picks up pace as you play and is quite intriguing. The cyberpunk levels were great and detailed. Loved the game overall.

Para empezar me gustaría empezar con la historia, la verdad es una historia corta, muy digerible, no es una historia que te rompan la cabeza y creo que para la temática del juego me parece muy bien, siento que el gatito que a pesar que no entendemos lo que dice, el juego te ayuda a encariñarte con el, al igual que su acompañante solo que a diferencia del gatito veremos aprendiendo más sobre su historia como va avanzando el modo campaña, al igual me ha encantado como la pocas misiones secundarias que tiene el juego ayuda a encsriñarte o sentir afecto hacia los robots del mundo. Una cosa que me encantó fue el apartado artístico, me encantó como pudieron crear un título con un ambiente muy Cyberpunck y a la vez un ambiente algo oscuro para las zonas que están infectadas por los parásitos. Ligado a esto, me encantó la música, que para mí es como que la música ayuda en la ambientación del juego, no es como que esperes una música épica o explosiva, sino que el soundtrack es perfecto para el título que quieren dar y que sea como complemento para sumergirte más en este mundo. Una cosa que si no me gusto fue que en algunas zonas hay unas caídas brutales de fps y si a pesar que no arruinan la experiencia si se siente un poco inocomodo, y a la vez un par de ocasiones en que en algunas misiones secundarias como que se bugeaban y lo que hacía aveces no me lo valía o pareciera que no lo había hecho y pues si, un par de ocasiones tuve que reinicie un punto de guardado. En definitiva para mi este es el inide del año, y por el final que tiene espero con ansias que haya una continuación de esta historia en el futuro. Expand

    Игра начинается весьма интересно, ничего не зная об игре можно подумать, что на всем ее протяжении мы будем скитаться по заброшенным выцветшим постройкам. Ходим, ласкаемся с семьей (как гласит описание игры на этом же сайте), но потом падаем в неизвестность без надежды вернуться обратно. Потрясающее вступление, издалека задающее тон игре.

Ходим, ласкаемся с семьей (как гласит описание игры на этом же сайте), но потом падаем в неизвестность без надежды вернуться обратно. Потрясающее вступление, издалека задающее тон игре. После проходим ряд преград, следуя за неким ИИ, что тоже придает вступлению немало загадочности. После же начала всей истории нас будут знакомить (причем в буквальном смысле) с роботами. В игре хорошо прописана "человечность" этих самых роботов-компаньонов, сохраняя в них "роботность". Все роботы не просто похожи на людей, но еще и хороши как личности, что тоже отлично вписывается в концепцию "Вместо людей - почти такие же роботы". Пусть персонажей и не запоминаешь на всю игру (а только ключевых личностей), но у каждого есть свое поведение, характер, а некоторые даже могут подтолкнуть на смешинку. Отдельного внимания достойна атмосфера, создаваемая эмбиентом и окружением. Позволяет прочувствовать некую безысходность и брошенность в самом окружении. Невероятное умиление вызывает главный, не побоюсь слова, герой. Я не совсем понял, настоящий ли это кот или нет (что можно заподозрить по странно мелькающим в катсценах зрачках), но он понимает речь нашего B-12, который переводит речь остальных роботов, отвечает роботам на их реплики мяуканьем и т.д. Завязка и подача сюжета тоже не на менее высоком уровне. Сама завязка пусть и много где избита, но заставляет задумоца, как говорится. Также хорошо прописан персонаж самого B-12, к которому действительно привязываешься к концу игры. Человечность в нем проявляется правда не особо сильнее, чем в роботах, но с ним мы проводим чуть ли не всю игру.
    А теперь о малых проблемах игры: порой через чур линейно-коридорные уровни, хоть за всю игру нам дают две "открытых" локации (но на них замкнутость чувствуется не так ярко), также в игре присутствуют баги текстур (особо они заметны в катсценах), а также наводка прыжков и т.п., еще пусть это и робо-город, но абсурдности вызывает иногда то, как персонажи где-то и куда-то появляются и исчезают до какого-то момента в сюжете, меняется на измененных таким образом местах что-либо чрезвычайно координально. Лично меня концовка пробила не на слезу, а на целый небольшой водопад. Прошел за часов 5-6 за 3-4 дня. Вывод: игра мне нереально понравилась, могу посоветовать любителям интерактивного кинца, даже в какой-то степени экшена, ну и, конечно же, милоты. (Language - Russian)

    Great game, solid sound design, and art. I also really love when you turn a game and just play it as the developer intended. No difficulty settings etc. Set the brightness and go. I see people saying it's 4 hours, but it took me 6.5. No rushing, but not going back to get the collectibles etc. Headphones recommended. Congrats to the studio.

    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.

    A game not about challenge but rather its rich atmosphere and amazing animation and visuals, I had an incredibly immersive expierance with this game and loved its brief bite sized expierance. My only problem is that I found it quite annoying that the game only lets you jump were it chooses so I was always pausing and wondering why the game is letting me here when their is nothing.

    The narrative that the story tells, at its core, is moving and well crafted. The part where I am not giving this game a perfect 10 is that I feel like the "zurk" are unnecessary to the story. The dystopia works really well without them.
    I think the strength is in the exploration and interaction the player-cat has with their companion.

    I highly recommend you take some time to let yourself get lost in the world of Stray.

The pacing is on point; keeping me consistently hooked in the surprisingly engaging story that had been developed - however this did cut the game short of what it truly deserved. The movement could have been smoother, however the system put in place was effective enough to get the job done, the dystopian, sci-fi setting in which I was moving around in made up for this somewhat lacking aspect. “Stray” really shines in its ability to deviate from the rather flat, repetitive standards we have became accustomed to within the industry (through its unique premise and storytelling), becoming fully representative of the recent indie boom.

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this game and the story was touching. I think the length was just right since this game didn't have to many features so any longer than 8hrs, I probably would of got bored.

    I was able to play this game for free so I'm not sure how much they are charging for everyone else. If it's more than 30 dollars I would hold off until it goes on sale due to the length.

    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.
