My Game of the Year 2022

Stray is a clear recommendation for those who are looking for a unique, story-based game that is both narratively and visually beautiful, and experienced from a whole new perspective.
And it doesn't even really matter if you're a cat lover, because Stray shines not only for its cuteness factor, but also for its unique post-apocalyptic setting in the walled city inhabited by characterful robots.
Some areas are kept quite linear, while others offer an incredible amount of secrets to discover. For 100% completion, the replay factor is definitely there, which is why I found the overall length to be enjoyable.

Nevertheless, I would still be very happy to see a DLC bringing a small continuation of the story on the "Outside"!

This game will definitely challenge you and due to the workshop levels this game is absolutely not lacking in soundtrack variety!
I really enjoyed playing through the arcade mode although I felt like some levels (especially the last one) were very hard and often kinda frustrating.
Another nice feature are the different items you can get from the steam market, in-game purchases and drops that make the game look (and sound) even better.

P.S. I really recommend getting that awesome "I dunno" Menu Theme, I love it!

Although you will sometimes notice that this game is ported from the (FREE) mobile version the visuals are alright and for me the game performs with stable 60 fps.

The gameplay is pretty repetitive but still fun whilst playing with a high tier upgraded assault rifle or shotgun. I personally dislike the other types of weapons because of their weird ways to use, but I kinda like the way you can upgrade your weapons, armor and gear in order to get even stronger.

Storywise this game is below average but that wasn't really a problem for me. I still enjoyed playing the story missions and getting quite a lot achievements for side quests.

The whole game really has some strong and weak points...So if there was a button in-between recommended and not recommended I would definitely choose that one.

However, if you can get this game for a low price I would still recommend it!

The controls of this game are simple but for me it was pretty difficult to get into the fast-paced mechanics of the new types of levels at the beginning of each one. In case you are as ambitious as me trying to finish all 4 levels + the tutorial and get 100% achievements (you could also additionally buy the DLC with 4 extra levels) I think this game will take about an hour to complete.

Besides enough endurance you need to have an extremely good reaction time and need to develop some skill by repeating the levels a lot in order to master this game.

P.S. I would definitely recommend using a controller to achieve a more precise movement!
