These types of comments are just as tired and overdone as the types of games they criticize. If you're struggling so much to find original games made by daring, creative teams, you're really not looking hard enough.
@@cylop224 I couldn't agree more! The number of small and fiercely independent developers out there trying something new has NEVER been so prevalent. This game is just one of so many interesting ideas being explored by today's indie game scene and I, for one, am thankful to be able to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
I've been playing this game for 10 minutes, and it's basically seratonin in digital code form. Whomever's idea it was to make a game where you control a cat to just be a cat and do cat things should probably go on some kind of watchlist, because they're a diabolical genius with the potential to subjugate the world
The games environments look beautiful, since the cat only takes up a small portion of the screen, you can see the world alot more. The cat movements and vertical traversing looks incredibly smooth, even better than Uncharted or Assiasian creed I would say.
can't wait after games like elden ring and horizon forbidden west, it's great to play something chill and somber, the atmosphere in this game looks awesome and I'm excited to explore the world and the quirky robo characters in it
How is this innovative? you can't even do anything until the game tells you to push a button. There are no consequences in this game. If this wasn't about cats it wouldn't even be nearly as popular.
From finishing the game and watching that review, I think rather to much “secrets” were showing during that run personally. I loved this game and have been waiting a while to play on my PS5 I wasn’t disappointed!
I hope gamedev team were totally satisfied while developing the game) The best job ever -So.. What are the three most important responsibilities of gamedev position you interested in, in your opinion? -Well, first of all I would like to make cat's animation, the second one is the paw, and the third one is the purr, I guess.
Breathe of Fresh air of innovation, kind of like when Journey was released, especially in plethora of generic open world or MOBA games filled with dreaded micro-transactions. My Indie game of the year 2022
Was my GOTY until "A Plague Tale: Requiem" came out and blew me away. But it also made me realize that "Stray" was influenced by "A Plague Tale: Innocence", which came out years earlier and is also by a French developer. You can see many similarities in both games' core structure. "Stray" even features a sequence, in which you run through a tunnel with Zurks pouring out left and right, which is a mirror of a scene in "Innocence", in which you run through a tunnel with rats pouring out left and right. ;)
This game makes me feel something I just can't describe. Humanity has been gone for thousands of years and the only living being to see it all is a cat. This cat went everywhere, saw everything, and yet, lives on. All of humanity is gone and the only remnant is a cat.
Really wanna buy this game but just being held back by the replayability. I wish you could just open the game and walk around the games world as a cat instead of it being only semi-open/linear areas that'll only last 4-6 hours
It's got chapter select after you beat the game and a good amount of trophies that add more challenges to the game if u looking for some extra hours outta this game.
@@Safetytrousers yes, and they likely completed the full game in that time. Which is rather alarming and definitely implies there may not be much replayability. I agree with OP, 100% this game is definitely not a 9....
@@Kickassdave It's £25, and currently £21.59 on Steam. 12 hour story games have a long time been over double that price. I only played the Uncharteds once. ''97% liked this video game Google users''
Nah besides the tremendous amount of glitches that are nearly all fixed with the latest patch, I thought the game was fantastic gameplay and story were really good and night city is just gorgeousss
i want to play this game so bad... but i do not own a PS4/5 and my laptop is a toaster... i'm going through a really bad period of depression and stupidly i'm sure playing this game could actually help me more than therapy wich as today is not working :( sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language.
The claim is that AAA games can't survive on subscription services if released on there day-1. Quality or not, Stray isn't a AAA game. It's an indie game.
True,..that why we never see game like Horizon FW, Elden Ring, and such on Day 1,..all DAY 1 AAA release mostly game that the dev have no faith to be successful in the first place
idk why but this whole game looks like an episode of love death and robots to me lol looks really great
Yeah, it's like that first episode with the 3 robots.
This is the true cyberpunk 2077
@@anthonyf616 i Said that in another video XD
Its amazing game just buy it lol
Haha I thought the same thing. We’re playing the origin story on how the cats took over the world
I'm so glad that this game exists, the sheer level of abject disappointment of game announcements really make this game shine

I love this comment. Please could you elaborate on what games? I have so many in mind and a lot come from a joke of a company called NINTENDO.

Well said, sir!
I’m so stoked for a game where I can be a true overlord to humanity: a cat.
thats funny little Phil 😆
I love how this game is able to win over player's heart with out being grandiouse in scale. Less truly is more....
The Midtown part of this game is one of the most beautiful environments I have ever seen.

lol Assiasian creed
The latest uncharted and AC were more fluid by far. But I agree with the first part.
The game also doesn't have HUD, it makes a lot of different
Assassins Cat :)
Can’t wait to play this tomorrow on PS Plus 💯
Its gonna be on ps plus?
for real?
Its going to be "free" for playstation plus extra and premium members. Not for essentials.
@@epicwolf nice
I thought you playstation fan boys don't like subscription service games
This review could have just been the IRL cat pawing at the TV screen of the Stray cat for 5-10 minutes/hours. 😍
I love that the cat at the end wants to interact with the characters.
can't wait after games like elden ring and horizon forbidden west, it's great to play something chill and somber, the atmosphere in this game looks awesome and I'm excited to explore the world and the quirky robo characters in it
I just got the platinum for MK11, after finishing Returnal.
So you're right I need something different.
@@FewNewReasonss 👌
If you want something sombre play Power Wash simulator. It is brilliant :)
@@DEVILTAZ35 ha yeah heard some great things about it, gets very addicting lol
Elden ring is an overhyped game
what a fitting ending
Im definitely playing this with my cat
Annapurna Interactive is THE MOST INNOVATIVE game company exist right now. Most of the games are so imaginative.
How is this innovative? you can't even do anything until the game tells you to push a button. There are no consequences in this game. If this wasn't about cats it wouldn't even be nearly as popular.
@@Damolicious696 look...stop being salty and let people have fun okay?
6:28 That soundtrack. I need it! I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED IT!
I was literally thinking the same thing. I can’t wait for that track to drop
I've been looking for that song too :(
From finishing the game and watching that review, I think rather to much “secrets” were showing during that run personally.
I loved this game and have been waiting a while to play on my PS5 I wasn’t disappointed!
Ah thanks for that I'll come back once I finish it this weekend
That ending with the real cat was a great touch. Bravo
So cute how the lil cat paws and claws at the walls.. It looks totally authentic.. And the little head with the two tiny ears aw

This game was beautiful! I enjoyed every single second of it and really hope for DLC or a sequel
I'm on PS Extra and I'm definitely giving this game a go
Stray looks really fun, unique with a fresh concept, hope it’s a huge success, great to see indie games do well 👏👏👏😊

Alright now I need a game where you play as my pug as she sits there licking the air.
Tell Brinx i love them

Stray is heartwarming af
I'm an hour in and in love. What a wonderful time.
Game of the year for sho!
sadly, i think elden ring is still better but this is definitely a top 5
Next game: i am a Dog
I missed this kind of review from GameSpot
the best
Really wanna buy this game but just being held back by the replayability. I wish you could just open the game and walk around the games world as a cat instead of it being only semi-open/linear areas that'll only last 4-6 hours

This 1 key assisted jump needs to go. Let people platform by them selves. If you don't even want this simplest challenge then why play games at all?
1:28 lol a flashlight for a non pitch-black environment seen by a cat.
the game looks good.
Ima be trendy and hate on this game in public. Privately, tho, this game is awesome.
This is so refreshing
is IGN and GameSpot like sister companies or something? This can't be a coincidence anymore
I cannot be the only on that enjoyed the chase sequences.
It's a 9/10!!!
I am a dog person but this seems interesting.
Still wondering why robots are rocking clothes
*spoilers ahead*
“Leaves no question unanswered”??? I would like to know if the cat found its family please I need that closure
Right and what even is the lore of the game .robots lab world where are the humans?
Just heard this game is coming to switch can't wait
What a great game. Would be great if these review videos were available in 1440p too.
Very rewarding puzzles and addicting
Can’t wait to freak my real cat out by meowing in this game
is Alessandro related to the Legendary Hector Barbosa 😯
*i see you LovE the Highlight feature*
nice review, and that ending!!🙂
Next I want an ant or mantis game like this but you go to war with the other ants and 🐜 bugs
I think there's already a mobile game on that.
Cute game when does it come out?
Tonight.
tonight and its free for ps plus extra and premium subs
I'm in Aus and its out right now
great game...amazing looking also.
Love this game.
Apparently better than Dark Souls 3 (which got 8/10)
Can’f wait for the PSP port
The game has good animations
The children had there fun with elden ring and now its a real man turn.
Weird seeing a regular cat with human ingenuity.
I played this. I climbed up a tree and I lost…
Good game I enjoyed it
cant wait
1:50 lol! X'-D
My cats breath smells like cat food
I have a cat 😀
Reupload?
what the point? Sony will remove it after 2 weeks. the service is up for 1 month and already they removing games like red dead II.
So...???? The cat people can play as a cat, can a cat???? This is a dream came true.
Does this game have photo mode
Sadly after the 4 hr run time it will just get forgotten. If this was a better year for games this would have got a 7. Hopefully it's a budget price.
It says play time for the review was 6 hours.

This game is legit a walking simulator you just walk and interact with context sensitive stuff, no depth no nothing, just a visual showcase
Already better than pathetic CP2077 💯😎
Nah besides the tremendous amount of glitches that are nearly all fixed with the latest patch, I thought the game was fantastic gameplay and story were really good and night city is just gorgeousss
when will it have an xbox release date?
It’s been announced for 2027 Xbox release date.
hah great reviet with great out tro too😂😂😂😂
So happy :)
IGN 's video is 8 minutes too 🤔
It’s not the most interesting and easy to get lost in the hub area but it’s an interesting idea to say the least, I would give a 7.5 for originality

Flapjacks on your face!!
El gato! 😭
Gee the amount of spoilers in this review are too many for a short game like this, stopped watching midway
Another masterpiece from PlayStation studios 🐱
well they didn't create it, but def a great get for playstation
It's not from PlayStation it's just a timed exclusive lol. It's also apparently Switch bound after that lol.
@@DEVILTAZ35 Wasn't Final Fantasy 7 a timed exclusive 🤭
My cat complaint this game too short
My cat died today 😢
THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE MY CAT
You have a mongrel stray cat?
😮😊😊😊😊😊😊
Cat game
Waiting for this game to hit sub $5. Looks relaxing compared to the games I'm playing rn.
if you have ps plus extra or premium its free
Saw the ball and the cat jumping in a box in a preview so im Curious. r/TheCatTrapIsWorking/
Симулятор кота, странный выбор главного персонажа и геймплей.
It’s ok, doesn’t live up to the hype.
Can't wait to not play this on my imaginary PS5...
Also, a 9? Really?
Why not?
Whats wrong with a 9?
UA-cam commenters really do complain about anything and everything.
Agreed. Nothing about even the actual review content would indicate a 9. Dumb score. A 9 indicates near as best a game can be.... Really?
I pray that you never find a ps5.....but I reckon you can't afford one anyway, otherwise you'd have one
This is a VERY dry year for gaming 😴 ppl out here looking forward to running around as a cat 😂
yeah, I like the idea, not every game needs a plot or characters larger than life. Personally i'm bored of those kind of games 🤷🏻
It's only dry for Xbox gamers
Absolutely
My PS5 continues to get usage. My Xbox continues to collect dust
And in fact is not supposed to be funny
seems like a lovely game.. but i cant play it.. the guilt from being responsible for a cat's death? NO THANKS!
