    Jogo fantástico, divertido com quebra cabeças interessantes. Jogabilidade fluída e dinâmica, história fenomenal, não terminou como eu queria mas entendo o que os criadores quiseram passar, não tem ativismo de agendas e nem lacração apenas entretenimento. Fiquei muito feliz por jogar. Por mais jogos assim.

    It's literally a game about a cat making it's way back to it's family in a dystopian world where humans no longer exist thanks to their demise brought on by themselves. Cats outlived humans

    Good game, a catchy story, but definitely overrated! And btw this cat behaves more like a dog - no cat will simply follow orders but a dog will

    Its a game with a dystopic backdrop where you control a Cat who cannot be programmed to solve complex puzzles, because its a cat. Who cannot interact with other humans, but meows at other cats, which is pretty weird considering cats aren't particularly talkative to each other and instead rely on body language and scent marking 99% of the time.

Who cannot interact with other humans, but meows at other cats, which is pretty weird considering cats aren't particularly talkative to each other and instead rely on body language and scent marking 99% of the time. The way cats can jump, dart around extremely quickly are things that we cannot duplicate in terms of animation or movement, so of course you are given a light "jog" and contextual button prompts that trigger a smooth animation for jumping, but only in the most basic way a cat jumps up or down from places.

    Scratching serves no purpose, nor does lapping up water. I don't want to larp as a cat, I'm a human being and its not practical to do any of those things if they have no underlying mechanic or reason to be there other than, "its what cats do." I own two cats, and they would've been just as bored watching me play "Stray" as I was. Sure its cute, but with the kind of technology we have I would've expected something a little more complex than a walking simulator where they swapped the dog out for a cat instead. Furthermore, although it accomplishes its goals of being a "cat linear-cinematic-platformer with puzzle-solving elements," who cares? Me walking downstairs, opening the door to my bathroom and taking a crap is an interactive cinematic experience, and at least I get something out of it after its all said and done.

    Call me when they can actually figure out how to program a cat that acts like a cat.    … Expand

    Par contre on tourne un peu en rond assez vite concernant les énigmes très simplistes. Enigmes qui malheureusement n'apporte rien au jeu et n'ont pas forcément de lien avec le monde dans lequel tu es.
    Niveau gameplay on va pas tourner autour du pot, c'est un peu vide et sans grand intérêt. Alors ils ont bien mit quelques trucs pour faire cool comme faire ses griffes ou boire dans des flaques d'eau, mais c'est pas ce qui est intéressant. Il y a quelques poursuites où il faut échapper aux robots mais bon pareil, c'est ni stressant ni bien folichon comme séquence. Le seul bon point ce sont les souris robot qui donne un peu de contenu dans le game design mais bon au bout d'un moment c'est répétitif. Il y a un robot qui vous suit B12 si je me souviens bien, qui est là pour vous aider.
    En fin de compte j'ai l'impression que le jeu est fait pour les enfants. C'est pas un reproche mais c'est tellement simple et linéaire que ça leur convient très bien. D'ailleurs mon cadet y a joué et a aimé parce que très accessible pour lui. Et tant mieux d'avoir un jeu pour eux bien fini et de qualité graphique correct pour une fois.
    L'histoire elle n'a pas grand intérêt vu qu'elle est un peu inexistante et que le monde dans lequel nous avançons n'a que très peu d'explication.
    Le jeu se termine très très vite, en une soirée hop c'est fini.
    L'ambiance et le fait qu'on joue un chat dans un monde d'androïde est pas mal et original, mais je pense que d'ici quelques jours je l'aurai oublié malheureusement. Mais en fin de compte je retiens un manque d'aventure et de liberté, d'intrigue bien trop légère.
    Il y a des bugs de collision qui sont un peu énervant par moment.
    Pour résumé un jeu sympa, qui se fini très vite, avec une gameplay simple et des énigmes très simple, mais qui conviendra très bien aux enfants et tant mieux dans un sens.
    Je met donc cette note parce que c'est un jeu indé, mais si c'était un jeu plus ambitieux ou d'un studio avec de l'expérience et plusieurs jeux derrière eux, j'aurai pas mit la moyenne car bien trop simpliste, avec trop peu de contenu et qui se repose sur leur originalité de jouer un chat dans un monde d'androïdes.    … Expand

    Desastre de juego, te vendían una cosa en los trailer y lo que te encuentras es un desastre. Juego corto, muy lineal, el que creías por los trailer que era el protagonista, no lo es. Además, de tener importante caídas de frames y bug puntuales. La única gracia es el gato y ni eso salva a este juego. Una pena lo que pudo ser y a acabado siendo.

    Pretty lame game, the best thing you can do is pet the cat, and that tells a lot about the ACTUAL gameplay.

    The developers of this game HATE trophy hunters and love some RNG and frustration causing mechanics.

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

    Dire noioso è dire poco. Lo avrei apprezzato a 5/6 anni perché non è challenging, è semplice andare avanti, anche un po banale. Storia fritta è rifritta sui valori sociali etc etc. Bbooring Non è pessimo ma la mancanza di sfide di gioco lo rende noioso già dopo mezz'ora. Non lo continuerò...

    Неплохой платформер с симпатичной графикой и неплохой музыкой. Однако таких оценок явно не заслуживает и если бы героем был не милый кот, то игра бы позабылась всем уже на следующий день

    A huge flaw with the game is that there are creatures that attack the cat and kill it. This is very shocking to sensitive girls! My 26 years old girl friend started crying and the evening was ruined.

    There should be a warning and a safe mode for a relaxed play without fear that anything would happen to the cat. The game is beautiful and plays well. It's just ruined by this one flaw!

    Gente o que falar desse game, incrivél e cativante me prendeu do ínico até seu final surpreendente, a trilha sonora dá aquele up top durante a gameplay o protagonista e muito fofo, e a história nos ensina muita coisa como por exemplo o significado da verdadeira amizade e aborda um tema muito importante em relação ao cuido com o meio ambiente.

It is a masterpiece, when I saw it on You Tube I thought it would be bad, until I tried it and I loved it, its mechanics, characters, history, plot twists, secondary missions and soundtrack are one of the few things that surprise me about this game, if you have the opportunity to try it, play it… Expand

Он не развивается на протяжении всей игры - тебе даётся только несколько однообразных погонь. Абсолютно неинтересный и болезненный поиск воспоминаний из-за того что по картинкам ничего не понятно из-за однообразности локаций, маркеров нет, и каких-либо других подсказок нет. Локации слишком нагружены препятствиями, которые неинтересно преодолевать раз за разом для поиска мусора. А сами локации пустые. В них БУКВАЛЬНО НИЧЕГО НЕТ. Даже с нпс никак не взаимодействуешь - Одна фраза на каждого, и то все несут однообразную фигню то про аутсайд, то про правительство. А ещё можно отметить уродское местоположение автоматов и воспоминаний.
    Сюжет: Абсолютно шаблонный сюжет, который можно предугадать на изи - его даже преподносят неинтересно.
    Музыка: Немного приятных саундтреков, которые не перестают надоедать (Если вы заспидраните игру только на основной линии менее чем за 4 часа)
    Графика: В общем неплохо. Но текстуры сильно сжатые (игра 6 гб весит тем не менее)
    Итог: Перехайпленная игра - если бы в ней не было кота, то он даже 5 баллов бы не получил.    … Expand

    I think it's more than just a good game, it's not better than the last of us part 2 it got so many votes just because it's a cat it's a very simple game very little to no action.

    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.
