This is still a game you really want to take your time with.
Its the foremost experience of cat tourism in gaming.
There are different levels of society to meet and explore, all teeming with life.
Poor robots living in the slums, knitting clothes and selling cans of pop to get by.
More fortunate robots in cyberpunk cities, drinking the day away in pubs or dancing to electro-pop in clubs.
There isnt a whole lot of depth here, though.
These levels really arent that punishing, and its easy to get through them quickly even if youre spotted.
Because you are a cat, and that is what cats do.
Early in the game for example, I stumbled upon a carpet I could interact with by mashing buttons.
I was just destroying furniture.
A few of these stumped me for a minute, but its mostly easy-breezy all the way through.
Its final level in particular seemed a little too simple to complete, leading to a somewhat anticlimactic ending.
The story and environments definitely do the heavy lifting here.
A bizarre issue, but not game-breaking, and I never encountered anything like it again.
Fingers crossed it gets patched out before launch.
Theres room for a sequel here, but maybe thats just wishful thinking.
Stray launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC on July 19, 2022.
