Jan 9, 2023Loved 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.
-
Jul 23, 2022Nice 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

Feb 21, 2023Original game concept, unique atmosphere, mystic story, fun to play with kids, good graphics at 4K/60fps

Jul 28, 2022Stray is easily the most adorable games I've ever played. In terms of replayability and fondness of cats, it's actually worth purchasing it!

Jul 31, 2022Excellent few hours of a great game. Beautiful and relaxing as it is supposed to be. Even better, a free game on PS Plus.

Jul 31, 2022Stray 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.

Jul 22, 2022A 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.

Jun 4, 2023Its hard to bring something new into the industry this days. Though gameplaywise it was pretty simple, the setting was fresh and atmosphere is well done :)

Aug 4, 2022Stray 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.
-
Jul 24, 2022This game is worthy of every bit of of praise that it's getting. A beautiful story in an incredibly well designed and stunning world to explore in a very unique way. fantastic music, good controls. All round a fantastic game up there with the likes of What Remains Of Edith Finch, Firewatch, Oxenfree etc.
-
May 1, 2023A 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.
-
Dec 27, 2022Ok, 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! -
Jun 21, 2023Excellent single-playthrough experience. I was positively suprised by this indie game. I actually prefer shorter, single player experiences so this was a perfect match!
-
Aug 24, 2022Such a cute game where you play as a dubious little CREATURE getting up to mischief.

Aug 1, 2022A beautiful indie game, simple and at same time charismatic, sad and mysterious. Good puzzles and characters. The gameplay could be a little bit more advanced, but it's not a problem, just a opportunity to the next game. Despite the walkthrough be short, the rhythm run good and rewarding. It was a game out of the box. I really recommend you to have this experience.

Jul 22, 2022Это просто невероятная игра для учитывая что это не ААА проект

Sep 25, 2022A 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.

Jul 29, 2022I wrote a detailed review that took up almost all 5000 characters but I can't post it, I keep getting a 404 error no matter which computer/tablet/phone I use. So instead, check out my YouTube channel to see me play and it talk about it. Search for FirstPersonLooter.

Jul 21, 2022Great 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.

Jul 24, 2022In the days we keep playing the same thing,Stray definitely gave me a different taste.I was expecting simply a cat similator from what i saw in the traliers but i was sort of bemused when i saw the game included much more.
-
Feb 26, 2023A 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.
-
Jul 30, 2022If U want to relax , this game is definitely what U need . 9 stars from PC version .. all hail to Cats

Aug 12, 2022A comforting game, the gameplay its simple but still fun, the graphics are beautiful, and the story is great.
It's really worth it. -

Jul 25, 2022Amazing game. It's short but that is not a weak spot, it's a storytelling game with a great world and characters. Simple yet amazing characters, old yet new ideas, and a stunning world with great graphics. I really recommend that game to everyone. I really do hope for more games like this

Jul 29, 2022Beautiful from start to finish a no brainer for anyone with ps plus extra and premium. On the shorter side at about 6 hours with your first play through but can be about ten after going through and wrapping up trophies. Overall enjoyed the fluid gameplay and puzzles and was pleasantly surprised with the characters and story along the way.

Aug 31, 2022Отличная игра, не ожидал что так зайдет, киберпанк атмосфера неймоверная. Сюжет увлекательный и мир тоже отличный. Персонажи очень хорошо проделаны
-
Jul 24, 2022Excellent game, i loved the visuals, the music and the story. Lots of details in the cat actions and movement. It's a short game, but it's better a good short game, than a bad long one.
-
Jul 21, 2022un juego que te entrega y te hace pasar por varios sentimietos de la tristeza a la felicidad, es u juego obligatorio jugarlo.
-
Jul 20, 2022Fantastic, finally sth new in the games world. Maybe riddles could be more complex, but I was totally satisfied with the gameplay. I'm waiting for more.
-
Sep 22, 2022Me encanta la ciencia ficción y los gatos, así que esta combinación de felino más mundo futurista en decadencia es perfecta. Tiene la duración necesaria, mecánicas muy fáciles y la historia la vas entendiendo según avanzas encontrando recuerdos junto tu compañero B12. Una de las sorpresas del año.

Jul 21, 2022Just amazing, beautiful graphics and a cool story, of course if you love cata this game is a must
-
Jul 16, 2023An absolute delight. The world is gorgeous, full of detail, color and character. Even though the dialogue was text-based, the story was still interesting and I was very much invested until the emotional ending. Gameplay isn't perfect, but still well designed and well paced. This one stayed with me after the credits, it meant something to me, and I'm really not a cat person.
-
Jul 20, 2022It could have just been "the cat game" but goes much deeper and offers an interesting story and world. Would definitely recommend it! Hope there's a sequel.

Jul 28, 2022Game Of The Year!!!
It was developed since 2015, in the nearly 5 hours gameplay, i can feel their hard work over the past 7 years.
Don't mind media score, that is a joke! -

Oct 22, 2022Almost a Purr fect game
Here is my spoiler free review
https://youtu.be/n4KmTi41FB0 -
Jul 20, 2022Heartfelt, suspenseful, beautiful and definitely has much more going for it than just "A game where you play as a cat", though that definitely is a heavy positive.
If you think you might play this game, play it. Buy it or get it "free" on PS+. Worth the upgrade to the Extra tier just for this game. -

Jul 20, 2022Uma experiência simples e incrível, esse jogo foi uma das melhores coisas que me ocorreu esse ano, obrigado annapurna e seus desenvolvedores por mandarem bem em mais um de seus títulos publicados e espero que futuros jogos desse time voltem a aparecer, pois potencial não falta.

Jul 21, 2022Great game! Very atmospheric, beautiful graphics, nice cat! But very easy gameplay.
-
Jul 21, 2022I won't put 10 just because i can't put this game in the same category as the last of us but this is an absolute masterpiece. I was interested from the moment i saw the first trailer and it did not disappoint. If you wanna pass some good 4-6 hours you should definitely play this game.
-
Jul 21, 2022Incredible game, with good graphics and good gaming.
Some physics can be better, but in general the game is excellent.
Congratulations to the developers. -
Jul 21, 2022Its a good game ❤️ But only 8 hrs long…
The engine and gameplay is amazing!
If the game was longer then 8hrs then will it be the best game ever

Oct 14, 2022If 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.
-
PLAYAug 30, 2022Stray 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]
-
Aug 26, 2022It 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.
