It's immerse, polished, and leverages its uniqueness in a clever way. You playing as a cat affects both story and gameplay, and it's overall a fantastic envisioning of the concept.

    Its rough edges like at times weird jump snapping and the lack of an on-demand jump are barely noticeable. I also understand the technical difficulty that rises from trying to fix those issues.

The frame rate regularly dropped (PS5) meaning I was launching myself into enemies rather than towards the goal. The game outright crashed on me twice during stealth sections, and I often encountered floating clothes rather than entire bodies of npcs that were rendered none-interactable.
    The ending of the game also felt a little lacking after what had been built up leading to this - the story was well presented which is why the ending felt a little flat comparitively, as I had hoped for an epilogue of sorts.
    Ultimately, I've rated this game based on the ideas and what worked well for me - I was still intrigued despite the difficulties I encountered, and had I not suffered with so many issues, would have definitely rated higher and look forward to seeing future projects from this team.    … Expand

    A short game that's not worth the money (especially in Brazil), you play for a few hours, finish the game... and nothing makes you want to come back and play more. The cat is cute and that's why everyone cheers, the story is minimally interesting (not memorable or epic) and what it stands out is the visual, but it doesn't bring anything new or interesting to the genre.

It is ridiculously short. I beat the game in under 5 hours. Are you freaking kidding me? This game would have been better off as an open-world game, but the developers were too cheap and lazy for that.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought this was supposed to be a cat game. Where is the combat? Last time that I checked, cats are predators. All you do in this game is run away from enemies. Yeah I get it, cats are scary cats. They also like to attack smaller animals. The developers should have added robotic birds and rats as hostile enemies for the cat to attack. They could have also made that B-12 robot thing point a laser towards enemies so the cat could get the courage to attack those stupid little monsters. That B-12 could have made for a decent multiplayer component, but the developers were too greedy and lazy for that. The game feels like a walking simulator with the lack of combat. Speaking of walking simulators, the platforming sections are lazily designed. All you do is press a button and the game does the jumping for you, all because these pretentious developers want to be arty farty for the sake of being arty farty. How hard is it to just let me do the platforming myself? The cat magically clips through the handle of the bucket.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. But this game is not a cash grab, as it is only $30 and a PS Plus Extra/Premium game. Well that's something that the developers got right and I appreciate that. If you're giving me half the game, it better be half the price or in a subscription service. In my case, I have it on Premium. This does not however excuse the game being too short or lacking in content. Why can't these lazy developers add an arena mode or something for replayability. There better be an update that adds more replay value, or I am deleting this trash. If you have Premium or Extra, then I guess it's worth trying out. If not then I only recommend this game until it is $15 or just wait until it is free on PS Plus essential.    … Expand

    I don't know why people like this game. It's a basic cat game for me, the stuff in the game is casual. Don't like it.

    absolutely horrible and unacceptable, the game is so short and starts so boring but when it actually starts getting better and fun it just ends?? not to mention how repetitive it is, this is just a 3 hours chores cat simulator

    Short but sweet. I was more invested into the game in 5 hours than most games get me in 20+ hours. Great story, great characters, great gameplay, great graphics.

    overly hyped game, costs 28 euros, boring story, the animations are acceptable

    game is way too short for the price and there is no gameplay the only gameplay is you scratching walls and holding the jump button, many people use excuses to defend making such lazy games for insane prices,
    just because the protagonist is a cat does not make a game good

    horrible game do not buy

    Trophies are a broken mess of RNG. Great way to end someone's experience with a game, 2 hours of running the same 50 second level for nothing

    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.

    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.

    This game was quite a surprise and actually better than I thought. The only complaint that I have is that the last couple of hours were far better than the first few hours. Hence why the game is a 9 instead of a 10.

    I love the interaction with the robots, the puzzles, the graphics, the humor, that special meowity. The game is made with a lot of love… but! I hate the Zurks. These parts are so… distracting and stressing. They‘re really ruining the mood for me. Too much Zurks.

    One of the best game experiences I've had this year.
    Despite being a shorter game, I still thoroughly enjoyed exploring every nook and cranny, meeting as many characters as possible, and finding as many badges and memories I could.
    I would classify Stray as a puzzle/rpg. I don't typically like rpgs but there's no backtracking or side quests in stray. It's faily linear. I love the    One of the best game experiences I've had this year.

    I love the gameplay and movement, and the art style is great.
    The story is pretty good, albeit simplistic, but enough to hook you in emotionally.

    I have looked forward to this game for years since it was announced before the PS5 even came out, and I ought it in the day of release. I am glad to say it didn't disappoint, this is a must play.    … Expand

    At first, Stray was cute. I wondered what was around the next corner. But then, when the first puzzle was infront of me, i did not know what to do. i dont like the feeling when i am clueless. One cryptic puzzle is no big deal i thought. It is the little things that furiated me. time after time. where to go. i dont know. A futuristic DARK world with strange monsters who wants to kill me.At first, Stray was cute. I wondered what was around the next corner.

    It's Annapurna Interactive. Phony, irredeemable, boring, unengaging, indy crap. They think they are the A24 of gaming and it's incredibly annoying to have to share space with these people at gaming events.

    Juego linear hasta llegar a ser aburrido. un juego sin más. No tiene dificultad alguna ni reto. La única premisa del juego es que manejas a un gato. Creo que las puntuaciones están siendo extremadamente generosas.

    “Stray” is an extremely creative take on the classic linear single player games everybody plays. It took me around 7 hours to beat Stray, but that is when you are pushing the content to the max. As in all achievements. The game’s gameplay is very entertaining and the world is very immersive and atmospheric. While there is no voice acting the player still feels some attachment to the“Stray” is an extremely creative take on the classic linear single player games everybody plays.

While there is no voice acting the player still feels some attachment to the characters you meet along the way. With your droid buddy being your closest. 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. Overall, very worth the price even if it is short and sweet. 9/10.… Expand

    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.

    Ok, 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!

    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.
