As the game opens, your gang waits out a storm in a concrete shelter, where you can instigate a little play fighting or mutual sniffing and smearing. The slender ginger tabby is one of a small feline colony living in a disused industrial district long since reclaimed by nature. The feel of your moggy is crucial here, and it’s instantly evident how much observational work has gone into her animation. JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: ALL-STAR BATTLE Stray simply makes such activities more natural, giving us the perfect form for the job. Particularly in platform-puzzlers like this, our first inclination is to explore, looking for unorthodox routes up the sides of buildings, say, or jumping on furniture and seeing which objects we can manipulate. The early novelty of playing as a cat in Stray soon gives way to a striking realisation-we often behave like cats in games anyway. The robotic denizens of this cyberpunk world generally talk to you like they would anybody else, and the only way it’s ever really relevant to the story or the action is because you can fit into tight spaces they can’t. The simplicity of that concept works wonderfully, especially because the fact that you are a cat doesn’t actually matter all that much to the artificial people you interact with or the things you are asked to do. A wonderful journey made with love for these cute furry creatures, diligence and attention to detail.To be clear: you’re not a magic cat, not a mutated sci-fi cat, not some kind of sentient super cat – just a normal, cute cat, albeit one that displays the sort of intelligent awareness we all like to pretend our own cats do when we aren’t looking. Walk through basements and rooftops, avoid dangerous creatures, be demanding and even annoying at times to get what you want.

You can find a way and get out of the city, but for this you will have to be persistent. Make your way through a variety of locations, cope with well-thought-out puzzles. A rare opportunity to look at the fading world of people through the eyes of an ordinary stray cat.

During the journey, you can make friends with a small drone and continue the journey together. The neon-lit streets are empty, you are completely immersed in the atmosphere of this place.Īhead of the mass of obstacles, mysteries and mysteries. It is abandoned, here you can rarely meet its strange inhabitants. You have to explore the city in cyberpunk style.

Everyone loves cats! Choosing such a character as the protagonist was quite an interesting decision. Stray invites us on a long and exciting journey in the company of a cute ginger cat.
