The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Not just the graphics (I'll go into more detail later), but the characters within the story, the relationships you not just form but get to witness between these robots is so heart-warming and you can tell the creators put a lot of effort into making it as engaging through how you can see and put yourself in these characters shoes.
it’s not a difficult game. it’s not trying to be. stray is about exploring, observing, and feeling. it’s one of those games that reminds you that not every masterpiece needs to be 100 hours long or packed with constant action.
Beautiful visuals and strong world-building keep you hooked from start to finish—honestly, nothing negative to say about it.
the soundtrack is incredible, the environments are gorgeous, and the small details make the city feel alive despite being almost empty. even something as simple as curling up on a pillow and hearing the cat purr made me stop and appreciate the moment.
There are many puzzles, but they are just the right balance of difficulty.
On Mac (Air M2, 2022), it runs impressively well: stable 30–60 fps depending on the scene.
