An absolute gem of a release to saunter into our year of 2022 on all four paws. Stray is a charming puzzle platforming experience that also is an incredibly zen play, as well as incorporating bursts of fast paced tense chases. The cyberpunk world is brimming with personality and detail and its robotic inhabitants provide engaging conversation through beeps, whirs, clicks and clanks. At the centre of it all though is the friendship bond between the feline hero and his little gadget accomplice, both of whom are trying to find a way back to the outside. The game can get a little repetitive at points and is on the short and simplistic side, however its personality more than makes up for it. Stray 2 please.
