    Мне просто не к чему придраться. Разве что к продолжительности основного сюжета. Но я получил просто огромное удовольствие от этой игры. Вот такими должны быть инди-игры

    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

    The art of the game is absolutely stunning. The environment, the vibe, spot on. I've always wondered why cats can act so dumb sometimes, yet here I am stuffing my head in every single paper bag I've come across...

    I enjoyed every second of this game. The controls were good, the story was amazing, the characters were amazing, the environments were amazing. There's very little bugs and if there is they're very minor and don't stop you from enjoying the game.

    Como amante de los gatos solo puedo decir que es puurfecto. La historia es increíble, te hace pasar un buen rato reflexionando. Cuando los humanos ya no estemos los gatos serán nuestro legado.

    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.
