Uncommon and refreshing

User Rating: 8 | Stray PS5

Who would've thought that a game where you play a stray cat could be such fun and at the same time be a study of humanity and the dark future that might wait us.

From a gameplay standpoint it's actually refreshing to play something that feels so simplistic, wandering around the virtual world as a cat, in this regard the game is really well done, capturing cat mannerisms and allow you to do just regular cat stuff like jumping around, scratch things, "meowing" and of course sleeping, sounds boring? It actually isn't because of course it's not just about being a cat, there is an actual plot you navigate through.

From the story standpoint while the plot is intriguing and interesting enough to complete the full game (which is not that big), it feels a little bit odd at times, especially because of the dialogue - I don't fully get why the words are only written and not spelled out, is it because they have a specific language that is not English? It's fine if that's it but it gives me some "No Man Sky" dialogue vibes and I didn't enjoy this aspect of that game.

Aside from that detail is not a thick plot but it's a fun relaxing experience.
