Compared with most dystopian cyberpunk games, Stray is downright joyful.

Instead, they attempt to cultivate plants that can survive in the dark, just because people would have liked that. The environmental puzzles take advantage of this cat-level perspective, inviting players to look at the world with different, light-reflective eyes.Īs well as puzzle-solving, ledge-leaping and blob-dodging, Stray introduces a world of lighthearted dystopia, where robots don’t hate the humans that came before them.

When the cat gets pets and cuddles from the robots, it purrs and the DualSense’s haptics fire up in response. It’s possible to curl up and sleep basically any time, anywhere – even directly on top of a robot stranger. There’s a discrete button to meow, and the robots the cat shares its world with react with shock and frustration when you cut across their board game, throwing pieces to the floor. Plenty of actions in Stray exist simply because they make sense for a cat protagonist (and probably because they’re cute as hell). It has plenty of fresh ideas, each one pared down to its purest form. Stray a perfectly contained adventure game that has you embodying a cat in a post-apocalyptic world humans have left behind.
