Stray happens to be a short and sweet little title. It’s certainly not a game that pushes forward any sort of advancements in such a story-rich genre or even anything in regards to its cyberpunk and somewhat lively aesthetic, both naturally and personably (depending on how you view the characters). Even though Stray exhibits a smaller playtime, it certainly is not made in any way that feels like a quick cash grab, and I think that’ll be made clear when you first start playing the game and end up wanting to explore the rest of the world immediately.

The story is very self-contained and often leaves a lot to the imagination while you’re exploring the world before you reach your main objectives. Even in a title where I believe only one character actually speaks an intelligible language that you as a player will understand, you will always feel like your actions and discussions with the characters have deeper meanings in regards to the world and the story.

I personally am not a fan of cats, but it's impossible to not like the movement and the art style of this game, and I think that is one of the strengths of Annapurna Interactive as a publishing company in all of their titles. Although the gameplay is very linear in a sense, you feel like you always have the opportunity to backtrack and discover side secrets in the world (until the last chapter or so). Nevertheless, you’ll still have to use some thinking skills to solve many puzzles and progress the story, even though it does feel like you’re always being pushed in the right direction–in a good way!

An amazing indie game, highly recommended for people who like story-driven environments with fantastic visuals and game worlds that feel so cliche yet around every corner is something new. Only negative about this game is the “Can’t Cat-ch Me” achievement, ♥♥♥♥ that ♥♥♥♥…
