Stray | Review in 3 Minutes

Pre ordered it month ago on Steam. Not every day you play as a cat)

Hopefully the sequel has a cat creator so we can create a cat that looks like our real life cat 🐈

The jumps are contextual, not free? Well, damn consoles, ruining the freedom of movement... That severely reduces my anticipation of this game... Thanks for the warning

Kinda basically seems something like "little nightmares or what but you're a cat", lol
Doesn't look bad at all tho

'Knocking drinks over and meowing my dominance'. The endlessly quotable reviewing career of Elise Avery continues at maximum quality. Thanks for the review, very glad to hear a positive opinion; been looking forward to this one.

this game looks like it was made in Dreams

in this game you can play with the mouse?

i'll get it when it gets a physical in september.

Solid review! It's good to know this is more of a linear game than an Untitled Cat Simulator going in, so I appreciate the review

You can’t play this game without a cat next to you

Number one reason to get a PlayStation.

It reminds me a bit of "Contrast" at the beginning of this review, and more of "Little nightmares" by the end.

I've been looking forward to this one. Great short review. I'll adjust my expectations accordingly.

Game of the year

Stray is also listed as a "free" title under PS Plus Extra. For anyone who hasn't upgraded from Essential to Extra yet, it's actually cheaper to do that than it is to purchase this game outright.

The most important thing in this review is that this game is "polished"

This makes me want a cat game. One without an iPhone on my back and without the distopian atmosphere. I want the Sims Cats.

Sounds good - short game, but a very positive review.

This lets you not just knock things off of tables, but veeeery slowly push things to the edge of the table, lock eyes with a witness, then push it off to prove a point.

This makes it the most realistic cat simulator yet devised.

as a cat enthusiast this has been on my radar since i heard about it at an E3 or something a couple years back, glad it's finally coming out

I wish you either couldn't die at all, and this was a pure (modern, walking sim style) adventure game or this was a full on "video game" where you could jump, climb, and otherwise completely freely interact with the environment like a modern action adventure (Assassin's Creed, Dying Light, Dishonored, etc.) I mean, cats literally CAN parkour around IRL like protagonists do in all those video games. I'd like to do that here. I hope we get a Stray 2 that's more expansive, but I doubt we will. I bet we'll get Dying Light 3, Assassin's Creed elevendy million, and Arkane's next game where a person can act like a cat but with a gun.

The 'little guest in a strange robot world' reminds me of Pid, an indie game no one remembers.

Spams meow key to shit stir my cat irl.

Is their any chance this is online or split screen multiplayer?

Just finished it and I highly recommend it really enjoy it and the pacing is superb my only complain is that it's too short

I will play with my cat! 😻

This being a game makes me realise that I must be getting too old for games

Imagine calling yourself a platformer when your jumping is context sensitive.

"Puzzles often involve encountering a problem, and scouring the maze of buildings around you to find an item to solve it." Wait? So a character does not talk to themselves as SOON as they encounter a puzzle by telling the player exactly how to solve it? But is this not a modern game?? How will I enjoy playing the game if I have to solve a puzzle on my own?

Goes back to Horizon: Forbidden West

just finished the game :) i thoroughly enjoyed and recommend it

I was hoping Yahtzee would review this one just to see him piddle all over a game that's supposed to he wholesome and adorable

just beat the game, damn, this game is good, loved every hour of it, to anyone on the fence about it being short, it's content is compressed in such a way as to make every moment feel worth the time spent.

makes you wonder if this game will get any sort of DLC

i need yahtzee's opinion!

I always wanted the game to be just a little longer

The game is fine, probably a solid 7/10, just due to the fact that the story is pretty bland & the cat makes every emotional scene accidentally hilarious completely undercutting anything they were trying to do narratively.
It's a lot better as a cat sim, than it is a full fledged stealth/fetch quest game.

If you can become a cat loaf while napping, hell I'm sold. Nothing better than a cat loaf.

Will Yahtzee do a review on this as well?

Is really an action-adventure game? With focus on action.

I just beat the game. It's an oke indy game. It's atmospheric and the music is good and it's fun to explore.

The cat’s more robotic than the robots.

I LOVED this game. 9.5/10

Stray absolutely sucked. Definitely one of the worst purchases I've made this year.

don't get me wrong this sounds like a great game but can you do zoomies at 3 am? because whether you can or can't is kind of a deal breaker just saying....

I just beat the game and it was very fun. I felt sad for B12 but I am very glad I played this game. I never thought something simple and innocent could be so emotional. Plus it's art is so awesome. Actually grabbed the iam8bit exclusive edition and I have 0 regrets

Really enjoyed this game,and so did my cat,who enjoyed watching the cat on the screen lol.
