Sept. 2025
Stray is a beautiful game built on minimalism. There's no HUD, no glowing waypoints, no tutorials holding your hand—every step I figured out on my own. Puzzles and objectives reveal themselves through exploration and curiosity; I found myself distracting a shopkeeper with a blaring mixtape, sneaking into a restricted area by hiding in a delivery box, and uncovering a hidden path through a nightclub just by offering someone a drink. Nothing felt out of place or overly complex—everything just made sense. I didn't mind its minimalistic gameplay at all; in fact, I appreciated it more than most. Stray trusted me as a player. It stripped away clutter and let the world speak for itself, and what a world it is: the city feels alive, even though it's populated entirely by robots, and I especially loved how the developers leaned into the sci-fi vibe by giving them old-school TV screens for faces. It was such a smart choice—visually unique, easy to read, and efficient from a development standpoint. Without using complex facial animations, the game still managed to convey so much emotion through simple visuals, body language, and sound. As for the story, it's definitely the title's greatest strength—I was on the verge of tears by the end. :') At around five hours for an 80% completion rate, it's a short game, yes, but I truly appreciated how it respects the player's time while still delivering a powerful, lasting impression. With Stray, you don't just play a game—you live and experience another world for a while. And when you're done, you might even find a part of it stays with you.

Started the game crying about a cat, ended the game sobbing about a robot. Immaculate.

I never knew the perfect cat game existed, but after sinking over twelve hours into Stray, I now know it does. As a cat lover and owner, playing as a cat felt like an absolute dream. I really hope they release some DLC or a sequel. I'd give this a 9/10 (minus one point because I couldn’t swipe food off the counter like my tabby loves to do)

I've been going through a tough time recently and lost interest in the things I used to enjoy, like video games. During the last Steam sale, I remembered this game. It had been on my wishlist for a while, so I decided to buy it, even though I didn’t really feel like playing. I gave it a try and played for a few minutes—until I noticed a calendar on the wall with my birthday on it (October 11th). For some reason, that small detail motivated me to keep playing. Over time, I found myself playing more and more. It took me a few weeks, but today I finally finished it. It may not seem like much, but completing this game feels like a real accomplishment after many setbacks in life. This game helped me rediscover my love for video games. A heartfelt thank you to the developer for creating this masterpiece.
