Our review:
Stray is a nice game, short, but intense, in which you play a cat, therefore. Side gameplay, all the cat paraphernalia is there: you can meow, run, scratch your carpet and sofa, lap up your water bowl, purr or even rub against the legs of passers-by… It’s pretty well done and quite amusing. Cat owners (real ones) should even be able to have fun with theirs, by trying to chat with the console version of the cat… Results guaranteed!
But don’t think that the game stops at these aspects… the other strong point of the gameplay and the robot that you unlock fairly quickly and which will allow you to complete the quests to return to the surface, with an interface already more common to this type of game. It is up to you to search for objects of all kinds to exchange to unlock new items. paths and other passages allowing you to progress in the story.
We also appreciate the more dynamic “combat” phases, consisting mainly of dodging species of parasites (before finding an effective weapon), and still requiring a little thought, with puzzles to solve to progress (barrels to progress). to roll, joysticks to activate, etc.). We only regret its lifespan, but for a indie game, it’s more than enough to immerse yourself in the adventure. A beautiful nugget, therefore, to obtain without delay if you do not have the new PS+ subscriptions. Let’s go, friends!
