    Tengo que ser honesto con este juego, entiendo que hay muchas personas a los que les encantan los gatos y se la pasan diciendo "michi que bonito michi". Pero si este juego no tuviera como tal esa skin del gato tierno, verían la verdadera esencia de Stray, un juego bastante mediocre que no dura más de 4 horas.

    Maravilloso, un apartado grafico espectacular con mucho mimo y cariño, la historia se deja llevar de manera fluida, lo jugue en Playstation gracias al plus y fue un acierto, lo comprare en fisico ya que es un juego que vale la pena tener para el futuro. A1 este juego me hizo querer a los gatos.

    This game is utterly amazing. The controls, the atmosphere, the music. I honestly didn't expect this game to hit me so hard emotionally...Cats really do make great protagonists for platformers!!! Also, it doesn't show their b-hole. (Thank God!) XD

    I 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.

    Ótimo jogo. Ele conquista pela simplicidade na gameplay, na riqueza de detalhes dos cenários com a direção de arte muito bem feita e na história que é muito bonita e bem desenvolvida e tem uma grande, e ao mesmo tempo sútil, crítica social. Poderia facilmente ser um episódio de Love, Death & Robots.

    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.

    A graphic adventure of the new age.

    I've played a lot of games that purport to be Cyberpunk, and only a handful of them feel like a retro futuristic experience. Stray is one of them. A chill game, just enjoy it, solve some puzzles on the roof, run and don't let rot catch you. Small steps in a future to which we humans no longer belong. You are constantly invaded by melancholy

    El juego para ser indie le han metido empeño y creo que estamos en una era que demuestran que los indies pueden dar batalla y este junto a kena tienen mejor calidad que muchos AAA que en los últimos 2 años han sido basura algo que se ha vuelto común en la industria y se siente bien ver un juego bien hecho.

    It is the typical game that tries to be good at everything and in the end it is not good at anything, I admit that it has good moments especially when we use stealth, but the truth is that it does not stand out and I get bored very easily, if you are not a cat lover like me, the truth is that there are many better game options out there that can offer you a better experience.

    My playtrhough was 7.5 hours from start to finish which included getting all the memories and all the trophies (excluding the speedrunning one). This time also includes an hour of idle wasted time needed for the sleeping trophy -- so 6.5 hours all told to explore everything. A bit on the short side but, hey, so was the original PORTAL. Not every game needs to have massive playtime to be great.

    Gladly preordered a physical copy to keep on the shelf.

    I’ve only played a few hours and I’m absolutely in love with this game. Amazing graphics, beautiful soundtrack, and wonderful controls on the PS5. plus the haptics and adaptive triggers are a real treat. This has been a purr-fect game!!! Even though it’s free on PS Premium and Essential, I would gladly pay for it. Hell I might even get the hard copy.

    I've been eagerly awaiting this game since the first trailer. Of course I bought and played it right on the release date. I wasn't disappointed! It has a dark atmosphere and is very detailed. Too bad it isn't that long but I still love it.

    Uma 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.

    Second best game of the year behind Elden Ring. Not even close. We need more games like this that have heart.

    Nothing on any table or counter top is safe.

    A game with a unique atmosphere, a wonderful world design and excellent level study. It's just fun to study! You need to play with headphones, you dive into the stream and pass in one breath, I want to pass again.

    Stray is an outstanding experience, a wonderful and gorgeous looking game. A truly unique little adventure that the studio created here with its first project. Very impressive.

    It's a fresh concept and a really good entrance for a possible new genre, it's not perfect but it's an honest game, good visuals and atmosphere, great soundtrack( already available on streaming services) and a compelling story with compelling characters. Animal and cat lovers will have the time of their lives. Consider this game as a breath of fresh air, a passing breeze.

    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.
