I reached Antvillage. It was difficult to kill those Zurks. I hope the weapon has lasted long. It got destroyed.

It is a very good game but I was too lazy to find all the memories so maybe the story wasn't complete for me. I loved the graphics and little games in it. I think the ending was too sudden and I wished to see more of the outside .

Made it through the sewers to the Antvillage. Those Zurks were a lot easier to deal with once I remembered that I could run by holding down R2 😂

Got the Defluxor to kill the Zurks, which is totally not a sentence I ever thought I'd be saying in a game about a stray cat, but here we are.

Anyone else spend most of their time in this game just doing cat stuff? I've probably more than doubled its play time by meowing, scratching things, putting paper bags on my head, sleeping, purring. It's a problem.

I am constantly amazed and surprised and how often I find myself just drifting off and thinking about this world however many months after release. I know there was a lot of mixed reception to the game play and that's definitely fair but the environments and all the unspoken story about how things got the way they did is just ominous enough that I'll probably be lingering on it for a while, similar to Super Metroid (for me). Probably my favorite art direction of the current gen.

Great indie game for 1 or 2 evenings. I really like aesthetics of post-apocaliptic underworld, inhabited with not humans but robots. Every single location in this game is beautiful, atmospheric, and feels alive, even though most of this worlds inhabitants are not organic. Artists did magnificent job when worked on this project.

Great indie game for 1 or 2 evenings. I really like aesthetics of post-apocaliptic underworld, inhabited with not humans but robots. Every single location in this game is beautiful, atmospheric, and feels alive, even though most of this worlds inhabitants are not organic. Artists did magnificent job when worked on this project.

Story telling in Stray is also on point, when i walked around the locations and was listening to our flying robot friend and talking with strangers, i felt greatly attached despite the game being so short.

Gameplay is decent, i really liked it overall. Run segments with zurks and stealth chapters with sentinels were intence, puzzle and exploration levels were atmospheric and comforting. But in my opinion controls in Stray are way too simplified, all you have to do mostly is press walk, sprint and action buttons. Developers could come up with way more interesting and responsive movement than this, especially when you are playing such a agile and nimble creature as cat.

Overall Stray is a great game for short time, highly recommended. Too bad that it gets so hyped and appreciated just for a cat, even though it would be as good as it is, if you played human/robot/bird or anything else. People really miss the point when they are trying to like this game.

Unfortunately I got stuck at a section, where no matter how I tackle this, there are too many Zurks. It does not help that I play this with an XBOX controller for the cute purring and I have not used one for years, so my fingers do not always work fast enough.

Might give it another try tomorrow, maybe with mouse and keyboard too.

Jeu magnifique Mouvements du chat un tout petit peu trop rigide Compliqué de se repérer dans la ville malgré panneau indicatif, rends les énigmes avec recherche d'objet une peu ardu (on se perd et on tourne pas mal en rond)
