This review contains spoilers

This was unlike any other game I have played before! I normally gravitate towards cute/quirky games that are lighthearted and fun above all else. I felt like this game gave me a platform to play a different type of game that is more aligned with the stereotypical themes of popular modern adult games, but without all of the shooting and killing that always turns me off.

I feel like this game is super important and pivotal in demonstrating that to be well-made and well received a game doesn't need to be centered around intense action/shooting/or combat. Stray is exciting and fresh! I feel like right now we are in this age where everything is a remake, a reboot, a sequel, or inspired by something else. It was refreshing to play something that is a standalone idea.

I felt nervous as the story went on that I would be faced with a large boss fight at the end, but I was pleasantly surprised that the final sequence was just a cat being a cat!
