Your role is really never more than finding third-person platforming routes to a destination, and bouncing around the sprawling urban areas gives you plenty of freedom. You’re still – despite now wearing a giant robo-saddle – a cat, and while I haven’t yet met a cat that would willingly help anyone do anything, it’s still fun to play. Stray, at this point becomes a game about a cat in an underground robot city that helps the locals with their menial tasks. B-12, your robotic companion, appears to be able to talk to cats and robots alike, and also possesses the amazing ability to “digitize” physical objects and then rematerialize them when needed. Well it isn’t quite As silly as it may sound, considering that as a cat in a world seemingly only populated by AI lifeforms, you would otherwise struggle to communicate. However, they scurry away so you can continue on your kitty path, jumping and running around, searching for safety and, as a player, desperately wondering how you’re going to reunite the little guy with his family. Then you first get glimpses of some pretty nasty creatures with pink blobs that feel like they’re more at home in there Inside. This is clearly set in some sort of future, posthuman by the looks of it, with the rusting remains of robots found in your path. At this point, your kitty is feeling so vulnerable, so fragile, and as a player, it’s imperative to do whatever it takes to protect the little guy. Ginger wakes up in what appears to be a sewage pipe, injured, and walks with another superbly observed limp before falling and resting some more. The animations are perfect and anyone with decency will admire the screen. The first thing you do is interact with your brothers and sisters, each of which is a beautiful moment nice observed cat behavior. With no intrusive nonsense, no tiring cutscenes, the camera glides smoothly over four kittens living in the overgrown remains of a dam before settling behind the red-headed critter of the collection, putting you in control. The following contains spoilers for Stray ‘s game elements (how you play rather than why you do it) without even addressing the story itself. I wasn’t expecting to play as a robot and zap mutant blobs for example. Unfortunately, what a lot of people will discover this week is that it forgets that very quickly and gets incredibly… wild. There is much buzz around Stray right now because it’s coming out during a pretty dry streak for new releases, and more importantly how you can play as an incredibly cute cat.
