    Stray is an amazing game, tho does still have very few performance-based issues (nothing the average player will see). Even tho it's short if you follow the story you'll get hooked, it's new and very fun!

    Простенькая и приятная игрушка с хорошей графикой про милого рыжего котика, который очутился в мире киберпанка. Игра довольно разнообразна на всякие собирания.

    The best part about Stray is the attention to detail regarding the main character. You play as a cat. Not a super-powered cat or an anime cat or an alien cat or genetically enhanced cat. No, you play as a normal cat. You eventually team up with an AI drone that rides in a little adorable harness but you, the cat, never change. You hit a button to meow.

The amazing story unfolds around this everyday very normal cat and the resulting dynamics of this experience are really phenomenal. I would even go as far to say this could easily become a completely new genre. Meow. Expand

    Stray - это хорошая серия "Love, Death & Robots" из которой зачем-то сделали посредственную игру. Думал поставить 6, но накинул балл чисто за любовь к котейкам. Да, кошек я люблю, если что.

    Even if you completely remove the story, the experience Stray creates of being a cat is worth the price alone IMO. The way each set is designed and the way you move through it oozes craftsmanship and a profound obsession for cats.

    Haters will call it a "no depth cat walking simulator". It would already be a 10/10 just for that, but it's not true at all. The story is good enough, you get exactly what you'd expect for a cat protagonist and then more, with a well-crafted setting and premise. Comparing Stray to a triple A is just not fair at all. It's a very well executed project within its own niche.

    Un juego unico protagonizado por un gato

    Stray cuenta la historia de un gato que se separo de su manada tras caer en una alcantanilla de una ciudad abandonada llena de robots. El desenlace de esta es muy buena, super lineal con muy pocas misiones secundarias que te hagan perder el hilo, es muy interesante, me hubiera gustado que se conociera mas sobre la historia de los antiguos y del gato ya que ni siquiera sabemos su nombre. Tiene una duracion de 6 u 8 horas aprox

    Con respecto a los graficos es una obra de arte, le falta un poco de oclusion ambiental y refinado en el pelaje del gato, increible que se le haya pasado ese "detalle", los escenarios estan excelentemente bien detallados, tanto que hasta te cuentan parte de la historia, dando vida al mundo y a los personajes robots. El diseño de arte de este juego es admirable por otras empresas, insolito que no tenga modo foto.

    Algo que no me gusto es el "recorte" que tiene en los ultimos 40 minutos, en esa parte se presentan escenarios nuevos muy detallados importantes para la historia pero pasan super desapercibidos por el poco tiempo que estamos en el. Lo mismo ocurre en parte con la jugabilidad, durante el juego se nos presentan mecanicas de disparo, de sigilo, de escapar, puzzles, pero son muy poco aprovechadas, las usamos 10-30 minutos y listo, se me hizo un desperdicio.

    La jugabilidad es muy buena, imita muy bien las animaciones y gestos de un gato, es medio tosco en los saltos, incluso hay un boton exclusivo para maullar, que no aporta nada mas que para el sigilo, pero me la pase usandolo en momentos donde creeria que un gato maullaria en la vida real, dandole vida al personaje que es muy callado de por si.

    El juego es muy facil, super intuitivo, no aporta ningun desafio para el jugador, es un walking simulator, no hay para elegir una dificultad.

    Un juego facil de recomendar para cualquier persona, super entretenido y sin desafios para que no te estreses jeje

    (2-часовой обзор)
    Концептуально самая "читерская" игра года, ещё и удачно вышедшая ровно в тот момент, когда не то, что конкурентов нету, вообще никаких игр месяц не выходит) в типичный летний застой. Я надеюсь, что мой обзор получился достаточно объективным, так как в жизни я к котам отношусь нейтрально.
    Что я могу сказать про жанр игры? Во-первых, это без шуток - лучший симулятор кота, анимациям хоть и не хватает AAA бюджета, но для инди-игры всё очень достойно и "плавно" смотрится, а в перерывах между забегами вы сможете и ногти почесать об "дощечку", и "пройтись поглаживая" между ног робота, и, пофоткать себе фоны для рабочего стола, мило свернувшись клубочком в местах для сна, а можете просто часами бегать и распихивать многочисленные физические объекты, раскиданные на каждом углу мира.
    Во-вторых, это Симулятор Ходьбы с элементами ролевых игр (даже название переводится как "бродить" вроде), если вы надеялись на сюжетную игру, то, увы, нет, даже концовка тут не даёт никаких ответов и является "формальностью", сюжет тут больше сконцетрирован в лоре игры, добро пожаловать в очередной апокалипсис в сеттинге киберпанка, все люди вымерли, города превратились в помойки, где живут "человекоподобные" роботы, а также мелкие местные гусеницаподобные хэдкрабы.
    Квестом я бы игру тоже не назвал, возьми предмет, поднеси туда то - "дверка откроется", головоломки тут вроде на таком уровне. Также можно будет применять вещи из инвентаря и разговаривать с "неписями", используя вашего робота-помощника.
    Тут ещё хороший саундтрек, который способен подарить вам пару эмоциональных моментов, но, опять же, это не полноценная "сюжетная игра", так что всё ограничивается заскриптованными побегами, которые будут очень похожи друг на друга. Могу ещё отметить, что пока оптимизация очень хромает, при далеко не самой технологичной графике, но это исправимо, хотя-бы багов вообще нет.

    ABSOLUTE TRASH

    do not recommend this game at all if you value gameplay in any way whatsoever. Game may have a good atmosphere and story but none of that matters when the gameplay is extremely tedious and boring. The entire gameplay loop is this: jump, climb, talk, fetch quest, repeat. If you want fun gameplay go play something else that'll keep you occupied for more than a few hours.

    Games are supposed to be fun to play. There's none of that over here. There's no fun in any of the game mechanics (of which there are only 2) it's just not a fun game at all. Use that $30 and save it for something else.

    The soundtrack is superb, minimalist but soaring, by small touches, it corresponds well to the atmosphere and makes the whole coherent with the world of Stray.
    Optimization on PC is pretty good, despite the constant framerate drops (between 26 / 30, in short!) I run it in 40 fps with a small configuration (8GB of RAM, GTX 750), it's good to take!
    The price is also respectable and very correct, they do not stuff themselves like many others (around 20 / 30 €)!
    The only small problem is the life span, but it is of good quality (it's the right compromise).
    Hats off to these French designers, thank you! To give example in term of creativity and imagination to other studios :)
    Thanks for the gem, surely my GOTY 2022!

    I was very interested in Stray when it was first announced publicly. The idea of playing as a cat was very interesting, and I tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible about the game before playing it. Unfortuately, I think that was a very bad mistake; this game is honestly quite mediocre and honestly, boring.

    I was very interested in Stray when it was first announced publicly. The idea of playing as a cat was very interesting, and I tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible about the game before playing it. Unfortuately, I think that was a very bad mistake; this game is honestly quite mediocre and honestly, boring.

    The problem is that the most basic idea – the idea of being a stray cat walking through a futuristic city – sounds really neat, but when you actually reflect on the question of “Sure, but what’s the actual GAME like?” you start to realize that, for all that that sounds like a really cool premise for a game, it doesn’t actually seem to suggest much in the way of meaningful gameplay.

    What do you do in this game?

    Not much of interest, honestly.

    The “platforming”, such as it is, is extremely simple; you can only jump up and down a certain amount, and only to platforms – the cat does not jump independent of going to and from places, so the whole game is actually pretty rigidly controlled rather than open. You can’t climb, you can’t fight (except for a brief, very simple minigame you actually get an achievement for skipping, and which consists of nothing more than shining a flashlight on enemies vulnerable to light in one chapter), and you can’t really do anything sophisticated because, let’s face it, you are a cat.

    The result, then, is a game with very limited “gameplay” – some fetchquests, some pre-designed moving around in the environment, and like 1.5 chapters of mandatory stealth section which is quite basic.

    That’s it.

    Now, you might think that this is primarily a walking simulator… but honestly, it is bad at the story as well, and the game itself is surprisingly ugly.

    The problem is that the city is in ruins and the only people you can communicate with are robots, which means that there is no dialogue where you move around and they are talking with you, you have to stop to talk every single time, as you have to read it. There is no voice acting, and the characters are all very flat and uninteresting – none of them have more than one or two personality traits, and so it is hard to really care when good things or bad things happen to them. The dialogue is limited, and most of the robots just say repetitive things.

    It doesn't even deliver on the futuristic bit - the city itself is very mundane in many respects, and doesn't feel very futuristic at all. There’s no real spark of imagination here – it’s like they came up with the basic idea then executed it in the most boring way possible.

    This does not feel like a world that you are living in, but is very video-gamey, and the core plot – getting back outside of the city – is very, very basic and is nothing interesting.

    The city itself has a very boring backstory – we only get a tiny amount of it, we don’t get an explanation of what happened to the world, what we do see of it makes little to no sense, and there’s just nothing to really latch onto.

    The world, too, is quite ugly, because it is all set in a dark city, and while the idea of being lit up by, say, futuristic neon lights and holograms seems cool, it actually mostly is just boring slum-ish and boring concrete and fence areas – nothing particularly interesting. They even stick in plants, with the explanation that somehow humans genetically engineered them so they didn’t need sunlight anymore.

    But overall, this game is just bland. It’s not very long, which is a good thig because there isn’t much “game” there, but it isn’t very good, either.

    This is very much an experience you can skip. I thought the idea of playing as a cat would be cool, too, but there’s just no substance here – the world is too boring to carry the bad gameplay, and the gameplay is too bad to carry the story.

    All flash, but zero substance. A very simple and dull game that has no depth to it at all. I'd go as far as to call it a walking simulator. Only reason it's getting high ratings is because... cat.

    Annapurna, they have once again been at the limit of perfection, a brilliant narrative and very captivating story, puzzles that are not complicated but not too simple either, exceptional level design and connection of maps, the sound quality and the artistic design at glorious levels and an impeccable setting, each interaction with the entire environment and the characters is very well done, the models, textures, lighting, the character design, each sound and each song, it is also worth highlighting the (although lighter than other works) great analysis and retrospective towards the human being, just perfect.

    Only bad thing could be some bugs and the gameplay that can be quite simple / monotonous or maybe it can be a bit boring for some.

    In summary, Stray is a wonderful video game, perfect in almost all aspects, very well polished and with an average duration that fits perfect, you can see the effort that Annapurna puts into each of its works. It is a game that is definitely worth playing and discovering the whole world that it presents to us in just its 3/5 hours of duration, totally recommended.

    Meanwhile, we have to wait for the next work of this great little studio.

    A fresh adventure game that features you in the role of a stray cat exploring a post-apocalyptic world. Read on for a genuine, unbiased review.

    The environment of Stray is designed well, with some cyberpunk undertones and many aspects of the game that give the cat dynamic a realistic tune. The game necessitates some light self-guided exploration and puzzle solving, and spans across a few areas.

    But despite the hype behind this game due to its main character being an adorable cat (which heavily panders to the feline-loving crowd), the game as a whole lacks in content, and the extremely positive reviews are brought about by that hype and not a pragmatic analysis of the game.

    There isn't much to do in the world besides blindly going around trying to figure out where to go next, which is where you spend the bulk of your time. The NPCs in the game are unironically robotic (pun intended) and all but the main ones give no more than two lines of speech each. You could count the total number of quests that you go through on a hand or two.

    The aesthetic the developers were striving for was achieved, but Stray remains a proof of concept at best. The extremely short duration (a maximum of five hours even if you wander around) is a hard sell at this price point, and only serves to reinforce the fact that people should no longer preorder games in this day and age to avoid disappointment.

    In its current state, I find it difficult to recommend this game at this price. I'd highly advise waiting until it becomes $15 or less.

    The game makes good use of the implemented mechanics. They did a very good job of revealing a mechanic, let you play with it for a while, and then expand that same mechanic, which made it feel new again. They do this several times, and it works well to avoid gameplay fatigue.

    My only, tiny, gripe, is with the ending. It was a decent ending, but it could have been expanded for a better emotional impact. It did feel a tiny bit rushed.

    If you like relatively chill gaming experiences, with puzzles, some action, an interesting world and mostly cozy characters, this is the game for you.

    Stray это очень интересная игра. На пару вечеров точно затянет. Лично мне эта игра очень понравилось и во время прохождения вызывало бурю разных эмоций. Графика хорошая, приятная. Сюжет не затрону и лучше оставлю более знающим людям.
    Геймплей отличный. Паркур и выполнение разных головоломок. Вообщем советую попробовать как минимум.

    Одна из самых прекрасных игр, что я видел, если не самая прекрасная. Огромный респект разработчикам!

    Полностью пустая игра, не заслуживающая жизни в 2022 году. При создании игры, скорее всего, был расчет выехать за счет котов, присутствующих в данной игре. По большому счету, получилось ни чем не примечательное нечто, для наивных и нетребовательных геймеров, готовых еще и отдавать деньги на что попало.Полностью пустая игра, не заслуживающая жизни в 2022 году.

    In the beginning it was really boring, but when you meet the robot and gain a few "skills" and encounter first puzzles, the game becomes much more interesting. The ending is not really satisfying, but the story kept me going for it nonetheless.
    I really liked the realistic approach to the main protagonist and it's limitations as a mere cat. I didn't dig the robots mimicking humans at all.

    I'm glad it was so short and overall compressed as the gameplay itself could become stale pretty soon.

    Stray is a fairly short, but thoroughly entertaining action adventure about a cat lost in a mysterious city of robots. The game oozes charm and cozy atmosphere, while combining that with a spooky cyber-city vibe. The game mechanics are wonderfully cat-like and almost always engaging. There are some frustrating bits later on, but the game is short enough that most anyone could playStray is a fairly short, but thoroughly entertaining action adventure about a cat lost in a mysterious city of robots. The game oozes charm and cozy atmosphere, while combining that with a spooky cyber-city vibe. The game mechanics are wonderfully cat-like and almost always engaging. There are some frustrating bits later on, but the game is short enough that most anyone could play through it eventually. Add to this some excellent, poignant storytelling and Stray is a real winner. It's a unique and charming game that doesn't over complicate its mechanics or overstay its welcome. I honestly wish there were more games like this. Expand

    Fun game with a good concept and story. My only complaint is I wish the game was a bit longer and the puzzles just a tad harder. But besides that, very good job.

    Leisurely promenades and simple puzzles are interspersed with action moments where you have to flee from local aggressive fauna. There’s also some stealth involved. These segments aren’t stellar, but they do shake things up nicely. [Issue#260, p.58]

    A cute kitty is wandering in a beautiful city of robots — now that’s a cool idea to scribble on a napkin during a brainstorm session. Unfortunately, Stray never develops it into a full-fledged game.

    Stray manages to straddle the glee of playing a roguish feline with an absorbing sci-fi story and gorgeously detailed landscapes.
