good gaem

Stray is a short, puzzle solving game with a well crafted story narrative. There's two things about the game that stood out to me, and that the developers really nailed. First, the cat physics and general behavioral elements. Second, the environment. Plenty of change of scenery with environments that ranged from gloomy to vibrant, and the towns really feeling alive. The characters are interesting and there's lots of comedic details, which personally I enjoyed a lot.

The story was compelling with a few highs and lows in terms of emotions, however the ending left something to be desired. Without spoiling, it feels like they're likely to make a sequel.

The game is on the short side, but if you take your time and explore every inch of the levels (which the game doesn't force you to but is very compelling), it will be very fulfilling.

Very nice game for the price, highly recommended.

The devs seem to really care about the game and there are very frequent and good updates.

The community of Europe is really bad in my experience, making it very hard to play solo. But YMMV.
