Stray is a very enjoyable experience. I had so many moments of being like 'how can I be the /asshole/ cat in this situation' / 'what can I destroy here?' and that's exactly what I wanted from this game.

Now onto the actual thoughts of the game - It's an indie title so it's short. I seem to have this issue all the time with indie titles that I enjoy and it kinda affected my love of this game. Had it been a few hours longer and expanded on some of the things in the game, it would've been so much better.

I loved the small 'open-world' segments, giving you a small segment of the city to explore and solve puzzles, but when it came to the main story elements I felt it was lacking.

I wanted to know more about the world, I wanted to know more about the 'Zurks'. Just when I thought it was going somewhere suddenly the Zurks were no longer required for the story and completely gone for the rest of the game.

It's things like this that just make it annoying that if it was just a few hours longer I'm sure the devs would've expanded on this and made just such a truly phenomenal game.
