Stray is a third-person (TPP) action adventure game developed by indie French team Blue Twelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive.

Plot

The story presented in Stray is set in a cyberpunk world where humanity has been forgotten. Our place was taken by robots, no different from typical people. Where the action takes place is a city under a concrete dome, where a lonely cat - the main character of the game - accidentally ends up. He has been separated from other cats and must leave the metropolis to find them. He is helped by B12, a mysterious drone that seems to know more about this world than anyone else.

VideoGamer: 8 / 10 by Josh Wise

This is where Stray succeeds. It offers us delectable opportunities to act out the behaviour that so bewilders us, in very celebration of that bewilderment.

Full Review

Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Nile Bowie

Stray won't challenge you, frustrate you, or take up too much of your time. Perhaps that's why we enjoyed it so much. It plays like an open-world point-and-click paired with largely on-rails action sequences. Some minor gripes and expected disparities between the Switch port and versions elsewhere aside, as we sauntered around its post-apocalyptic environments on all fours, Stray did an impeccable job of making us want to talk to everyone and explore everything it had to offer – and we had an appetite for more once it was all over. To us, that's the mark of a compelling adventure.

GameSpot: 9 / 10 by Alessandro Barbosa

Stray expertly embodies the abilities of its feline protagonist to create a captivating puzzle adventure in an engrossing post-apocalyptic world
