Deal | 40% off on Steam: This Cyberpunk platformer with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews lets you play as a cat
Stray is a third-person adventure platformer with a unique perspective, placing you in command of a stray cat navigating the mysteries of a long-forgotten cyberpunk city.
Developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive, this 2022 game tasks you with exploring an immaculately detailed, neon-drenched, decaying metropolis filled with curious androids and deadly creatures.
At its heart, Stray is a simple puzzle game with platforming elements that won't stress you too much. The game's atmosphere is the main draw, allowing you to interact with a dying world's inhabitants in various ways. Be stealthy, or nimble, or just plain annoying, as you attempt to solve the central mystery of the narrative and make your way home.
The game expertly fuses familiar cyberpunk elements while giving them a fresh coat of paint. Along the way, you will befriend a helpful drone called B-12, as both of you look for a way out.
User reviews - Beautiful graphics and simple, polished mechanics.
The game has an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam with more than 73,000 reviews. Most users praise the game's attention to detail and the stunning city you get to explore. The cat's realistic movements and mannerisms also drew a lot of praise.
The few negative reviews mention some bugs that can potentially hinder progress and the game's simple platforming mechanics, which work well but offer little in the way of challenge. Some also note the strange difficulty spike towards the end. The game is also relatively short, with about five to six hours of gameplay if you skip the side quests and achievements.
