    I am proud to tell the world I was here when the title was still “Pussy” instead of “Puzzy.”
    That’s my crowning achievement, that’s the best thing I’ve done my whole life, we did it.

    I was with you until the end, when you changed the game to feature "the best boy" which is wrong, because the game does not yet have my cat, who is the actual best boy.

      Au contraire, my boy is the best boy, despite actually being a girl. She is the bestest of all bests! Never damages furniture, loves to cuddle with or lay on you, doesn't play too rough, is super friendly with all guests, she is just the perfect best boy!

    You can really tell how Nerrel really resonates with the cat protagonist. Things like him saying that it's a lot more disturbing to die as a cat than a human and that the cat's actions emphasize its fragility and preciousness in a dead world is really neat. Nerrel's admiration for these creatures touches my heart

    Part of why I love this game (among other things) is the fact that it's such a quaint and tight game released in a time when every big studio takes the bigger is better approach, often resulting in the games feeling padded, lifeless, and in worse cases broken.

    This game kinda reminds me of Ecco the Dolphin. That game started out like it was a dolphin simulator and then you get sperated from your pod and it gets more and more sci-fi from there. Kinda like in stray where it starts as a cat simulator and then you get separated from your friends and it gets more and more sci-fi.

    I played it on PS5 and it uses the dualsense controller astonishingly well. You can fell the cat scratching with the adaptive triggers, all of its meows through the controller's speaker, and the cat purring with the haptics.

  • @CheeseMonkey18
    @CheeseMonkey18 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    My one complaint narratively is that the cat inexplicably understands the robots and complex instructions. I know this is in service of a video game, but it did occasionally stand out when otherwise the cat was so true to life.

It actually can play entirely off the disc, beginning to end, with no initial installation, and no updates.

    I appreciate you approaching and critiquing this game for what it is, a short, simple and chill indie game with gorgeous atmosphere and visuals and an interesting perspective (that being, you're a cat), rather than this AAA release from a big studio with super deep and complex gameplay elements and insane platforming and level design that pushes the genre forward with a mind blowing narrative. I understand some critiques against Stray, but considering it wasn't trying to be revolutionary and it's an indie release... it gets a pass, the experience is so nice and the visuals and world are so gorgeous that to me it just makes it great. Plus no annoying microtransactions or any sort of invasive stuff like that, in today's day and age that makes it a 10/10 for me _already_ .
