Stray is a surprisingly wonderful third person plat-former full of charm, warmth and an incredible soundtrack. At first glance the idea of playing as cat complete with a physical button to "meow" may seem far-fetched, but after 20 mins into the narrative, all doubts are left in the upper world of which your character falls.

Clocking in at just about 3 hours of playtime in total (longer if you struggle with the puzzles), the story is the real winner of this game. Set in a cyberpunk future , you join an array of characters who help immerse yourself in the world of Stray.

The visuals and set design of this game elevates to another level which varies from run down dystopian sets to bright vibrant neon filled towns.

The game builds up to a satisfying conclusion and by the end, the story is all wrapped up in a nice package.

Stray is my surprise hit of 2022 and my pick for 2022 Game of the Year.
