Stray (Xbox One/Xbox Series X)

As a passionate cat lover and avid gamer, I absolutely adore "Stray" for the Xbox Series X. This game is a delightful blend of endearing storytelling and innovative gameplay that truly sets it apart. From the moment I started playing, I was captivated by its beautiful and unique art style. The attention to detail in the cybercity setting is remarkable, creating an immersive world that is both enchanting and intriguing.The storyline of "Stray" is sweet and engaging. You navigate a long-forgotten cybercity, gathering clues, resources, and making friends to unravel an ancient mystery. The game is incredibly immersive, offering plenty of puzzles and exploration opportunities. This aspect is particularly enjoyable as it allows you to take in the beautiful sights and sounds of the world from a completely different perspective.One of the highlights of the game is its appeal to cat lovers. Playing as a cat adds a unique and charming twist to the RPG genre. My sister, who isn't typically a gamer, was so drawn in by the game that she wanted to start playing it herself after watching me for a while. The character animations and interactions are so well done that they bring the feline protagonist to life in a way that's truly delightful.On the technical side, the graphics on the Xbox Series X are lovely. The game looks stunning, with vibrant colours and detailed environments. There are moments where the frame rate drops slightly during graphically intense scenes, but it’s not significant enough to detract from the overall experience. The controls are smooth and intuitive, making it easy to navigate the intricate world and solve the various puzzles.In terms of value for money, "Stray" is worth every penny. It’s a game that offers a rich and satisfying experience, though I do wish it was a bit longer because it really is a pleasure to play. The fast delivery and great service from Amazon added to the overall positive experience.It’s worth noting that physical copies of this game are becoming increasingly rare, so I highly recommend adding it to your collection while you still can. Whether you’re a fan of cats, RPGs, or simply looking for a unique and engaging game, "Stray" is an absolute must-have.

Graphics are really good.

This was bought for my sister so I’ve not personally played it but she enjoys it, it arrived quickly and well packaged new and cellophane wrapped

The premise is simple. A likeable protagonist navigates a post apocalyptic world, gathering clues, resources and allies to achieve a noble goal. Except that the hero is a cat. This means, unfortunately, he cannot interact with the world like humans can. Fortunately he can interact with the world in ways that humans can’t. His little robot companion, b12, more than compensates for our hero’s lack of opposable thumbs. If you are a fan of cats and RPGs, play this game. If you’re not sure, buy it and thank me later.

Lovely graphics on the Xbox 1 X. Frame rate does sometimes chug (i’ve experienced it twice in apprx 3hrs of gameplay) but it doesn’t detract from the experience,it’s short lived chug. It’s not Gradius 3 on the SNES,if you’re vintage like me. Puzzle elements to gameplay and exploring, the latter which is its strength, as it allows you to take in the wonderful sights & sounds of the world. If you ever wanted to be a Cat, in a future, cyber-type city with some touches of Japanese aesthetics, this game is deffo for you. Recommended, easily.

My son said it was ok, finished it pretty quickly.

Hope they make another with more to do but I did enjoy this game quite a bit

Really cool and mellow game. Good to play if you just fancy playing something chilled
