Stray Review (Capt Pie)
Stray is one of those, "once in a generation" games, along the lines of Portal. The game mechanics aren't anything ground breaking, but the environment and story is truly something to experience yourself. The game makes you feel. The game makes you think. The gravity of the game is one that takes place in the future, but is still close enough to today that it feels possible.
In terms of being a cat - It is apparent right from the get-go that the developers spared no expense to capture exactly what it means to be a cat. I would often find myself saying, "Ohhh BIG JUMP!!" and "Ooooo BIG STRETCH!" The amount of awww's coming from those who watched me play were too many to count.
You can feel the atmosphere of this game. There is no HUD, Just a kitty cat and his kitty buddy robot drone bro. You can speed through this game and knock it out in 2 hours, but that would be on par with watching a wonderful movie on fast forward just for the sake of finishing it sooner.
Do not simply play this game - Experience this game. Dim the lights, turn off your phone, close the blinds, use your best pair of headphones or speakers and get lost in a masterpiece of feline eloquence.
