Stray's most impressive feat is capturing the perspective of being a cat. It never feels like a gimmick. It tells a compelling story throughout from a unique perspective. Surprisingly, its strange, post apocalyptic, world feels complete, varied and inspired despite its small scale. Stray is more of a puzzle adventure with limited movement options. Platforming is semi automatic, with a prompt telling you where you can jump.

This robs platforming of all challenge or fun, keeping the game from true greatness. Even a Sly Cooper / Infamous system of platforming, which is magnetic to rails and small points would've gone a long way. As it is, Stray is a good game that will undoubtedly be considered a cult classic and one of the best of 2022. Its just not the classic it could've been. 8/10
