Stray
Stray is a game that I initially didn’t think I would like, as I’m not a fan of cats. However, I ended up loving the emotional journey it takes you on, and the community that formed around the game. Some players initially struggled with the controls but ended up enjoying the game, while others wished for more gameplay hours.
The Stray ending left a powerful impact on players, eliciting strong emotions, tears, and even anger. Players also commended the game’s story and references to other stories and games. Some players thought the game was too short, with several wishing for more gameplay hours.
Despite the short length, Stray was commended for its incredible atmosphere, which brought the gaming community together in a positive way. Here’s a look at some of the most popular Stray reviews on Steam.

“I wish I could give this game 0 stars,” another player says. “I’ve never been more disappointed with a game. I want a refund because of how bad this game is.”
Despite the mixed reception, Stray garnered positive buzz online, leading to increased interest from players. Some users who had purchased the game but hadn’t played it yet were advised to search and complete everything before moving on, as they may miss out on content.
And in case you’re wondering: no, I didn’t have any idea Stray was a thing when I bought it. But hey, it’s really cool, and I’m gonna play it.
