A good walking simulator should, in my eyes, embrace not just the aspects of what makes a game a game, but also other creative mediums like books and movies. It should create this vivid, beautiful landscapes for your eyes to feast on and explore with an interesting story, while also giving you the imaginative process of visualizing words that you get when reading, letting you explore and understand the world around you, all mixed in with the interactivity provided by your controller. Stray does exactly this, in so many different ways. Stray throws out most conventional game design philosophies and puts its full effort into delivering a captivating visual and emotional experience. If you have the money, I seriously recommend you buy stray, however I understand the investment is big for the playtime.
