To be honest, this game is frustrating during the chase sequences and boring during the puzzle sequences. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
I love cats, this "game" is incredibly boring and tedious.
This game is not overrated, and if you think so your wrong.
I'd take the other cat (Little Kitty Big City) game over this any day. It's the dichotomy of modern gaming. Indie full of charm and great gameplay or complex story hyperrealistic mostly cinematic games.
I'll take the game where you can BE like a real cat over the one that's made to LOOK like a real cat.
I totally didn't like the console feeling about it. I played it on a computer and it felt every second like a (kinda bad) console port.
And those damn alien rats. These made no sense for me in a game like that. First a puzzle/adventure/simulator kinda game and suddenly you need to die to find out what to do next? That's just BS. I wanted to love it (Cat owner), but I ended up hating it.
I kept climbing stuff like "ohhh what's over here.. oh what's this.. oh cool you can get up there.." until I realized it all lead absolutely nowhere. No collectibles? No secret areas or scenes? I was bored in 2 hours but finished it because I paid for it. It's pretty and unique but that's about IT. 🥱 (I paid $20 for it on Sale, and it didn't feel worth it at all. 🤷♂️.)
It was frustrating taking YouTube videos walkthrough to find clues to solve one puzzle, this game at best is deleted and I love both all animals and games
I played it because I liked the lore and storyline…
rip the 2 cats from red dead redemption 2 in the video 🙁
I personally agree a lot with this, not just because of the cute cat part, but it also has an interesting story.
when she says braindead platforming- she is 100% on the money- like close your eyes and press and you will complete the task-braindead
My only complaint about the game is: why can't the cat see in the dark and why does it behave like a human?
Very true. There's nothing wrong with a narrative game and some simple puzzles, but I very much disliked all the misleading marketing and hype. It was sold as an action game and cat ecperience and even got nominated in such categories in awards shows. I purchased it on that basis and it feels like a bait and switch
Again, the game as is is fine since walking simulators are allowed to exist for people who like them, but misleading customers is not. And I'm flabbergasted how many fans would tell you it absolutely is an action game, a platformer, and a cat simulator; it really is none of these things
You’re missing the point of the experience entirely
I just got Platnium Trophy in this game on Ps5 and it sucks. The trophies really show the problems with this game with how many are luck based such as avoiding a Zurk jumping on you and another is for speedrunning the game in under 2 hours. I'm sure there will be a Stray 2 since this game sold very well on Steam and was placed on PS+ for over a year as a Ps4 and Ps5 title. I'm most definitely avoiding any sequels to this game and it showed me why I shouldn't get wrapped into hype from people. Getting Platnium caused me a lot of rage and it took 3 playthroughs cause I was 6 minutes short on my speedrun. I was beyond bored the entire time.
Look. I'll put it like this.
Walking through a dark alley to the night shop for some beer and snacks, isn't special.
Being robbed or scammed while doing so, is noteworthy.
Being robbed or scammed in said alleyway, but afterwards receiving a cute little furry patch for your jacket… Is this game.
People are ok with basically being scammed, because cats.
It's a demo, at best. 4/10. And only because it actually functioned, was technically software, without microtransaction BS, and had cats.
The bar is truly at Mariana trench levels.
IT HAD PUZZLES?
…
I would 'not', categorise those sections as puzzles at all. They felt like fetch quests but worse, somehow. Only made bearable because of my obsession with floof.
Its extremely boring I dont see why people are crazy about it
Everyone getting all worked up over a cat game acting like it’s everything wrong with videogames
Probably the ONLY parts I actually enjoyed about stray was it's animation, story, depth. And everything else was kinda "meh" for me. Is that a decent opinion, or am I the only one?
It's a game that definitely has it's flaws, but that's almost every game! It's really the thought that counts. (not really, but you get what I mean right?)
I’m a cat person & I wanted to love this game. But I find this boring & I think the control also made it less immersive. I’m sick of looking for the ‘space’ before I can jump. Plus there’s not much mystery or puzzles or maybe I haven’t gotten to that part since I’ve quit after a 30 mins gameplay.
I love cats, and this game was a huge disappointment. From the trailer and information put out about it, I thought it was going to be a chance to do platforming as a cat. Instead, it's like a simplistic mobile game for kids of holding a button and moving around which ALSO jumps for you, and you can't fall off any ledge. Clearly it just cashed in on strange "Aww look at the kitty" vibes right from the start. The world is really hard to believe or to take seriously, again for the younger audience, physically or mentally.
the perfect game for all the npcs out there
your wrong. this game is absolutely not overrated, bluetwelve has done really well with the game and there are only a few tiny downsides. The biggest being how short it is, but it is gonna last a bit though and for 50 dollars it is worth it. you are WRONG
You forgor to mention the story.
