STRAY Review - The Final Verdict

From a gameplay, Stray isn’t going to win any awards. It’s straightforward, although it takes care to never let that mean unengaging either. But by constantly keeping the player’s attention, be it either via gameplay or its unique setting and atmosphere, Stray makes a very compelling case for itself, and for the player to stick with it beyond just the initial curiosity that the elevator pitch incites.

"A cat in a cyberpunk city" is no low-effort ploy to generate conversation and interest- it's the foundation of a genuinely good game with a lot of heart.
