Great OT for an awesome game. I played and platinued it on PS5 and I can safely say this is one of the most beautiful titles on PS5 right now. It's a shame HDR was not implemented because it would look even better.

 

[GHG]

Greatest OT title of the year.

Greatest OT title of the year.

I still think Red Head Redemption II was pretty good.

 

[SJRB]

Sick OT, very well done.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Great title Look forward to downloading the game as soon as it's available on PSN.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

Cool OT! Can't wait to jump in!

 

[ClanOfNone]

Gonna get this and Capcom Arcade Vol. 2 today, whenever they decide to show up on psn.
Was hoping to see them available when I got up this morning, but it ain't gonna be one of those days.

 

[AJUMP23]

Great thread....the worst title won.

 

[solidus12]

I'm in the US so about 5 hours behind you.

Enjoying it so far, you'll definitely get a lot of the charm if you're a cat lover too.

I voted for this thread title, but Red Head Redemption II is one of my favorites also.

When I check PS Store, it shows a little countdown that it releases in 1 hour and 17 minutes, meaning 11am ET. (I'm in New York)

January 17th, 2058? Ridiculous.

Ah.....ok. Thanks. Wish they would put that on game page on the console and not just the website.

 

[Nothing1234]

Quality OT! Looking forward to playing after work.

Honest question, I'm not a cat lover, could I enjoy the game? I mean, is it a good game or is it a good game only if you are a cat lover?

Hmmm, Platinum trophy requires a speed run. Have to beat the game in under two hours.

You can't enjoy the game unless you are a cat.

[Topher]

Clearly a dog person.

Seriously though, the Tom Marks (IGN) review hints at that aspect of the game as well, but not as negatively.

"In either case, moving around as a cat isn't always quite as fluid as I hoped it would be. It's fun to scamper up air conditioners mounted to the sides of buildings or walk along railings, but you don't actually have a dedicated jump button to do any of that with. Instead, you can press a button to hop to predetermined interactable spots automatically when prompted. That means the only difficulty associated with any of the platforming is wrestling the camera into the right position to hop to the spot you want, and you don't exactly move with the nimbleness of a cat once you do – though that's partly the fault of the movement animations themselves, which can be noticeably stiff at times.

The linear sections are still quite enjoyable despite their straightforward ease, kept interesting to the end of the five hours it took me to beat Stray by constantly introducing fresh ideas and environments. There are exciting chase scenes as you run from mutated creatures called Zurks, stealth sections as you avoid security drones, and puzzles where you might have to lure the enemy AI to your advantage. Not all of these ideas are as successful as others – the weakest of them gives you a weapon to kill the Zurks, which quickly devolves those previously tense encounters into a pattern of killing a few and then running backwards while you recharge it over and over – but they are all clever enough to refresh the platforming throughout."

Stray Review - IGN

A delightful cat-based platforming adventure in a cyberpunk world worth exploring.

There is an option to turn button prompts off, i turn it off right away and i don't think that there are any reason to keep that on.

 

[ClanOfNone]

While I'm sure we've all seen videos of spectacular cat fails, most of the time cats are very agile and dexterous. It wouldn't be much of a cat game if you were constantly failing jumps.
The first 40 minutes alone would be trial and error deathtrap jumps which would kill the vibe the game is going for.
I'm enjoying it so far, but my kitty owning ass is probably a bit biased.

 

[Crimsonhead]

Enjoying it soo far, still very early in game but as a cat lover Hands down to this,super cute and fun,the only thing negative is lack of HDR and buttons prompt for sit and lay down.. this is obvious for screenshots

 

[cormack12]

Beautiful OT my man

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

was excited to buy it but its only 4-5 hours? lol. gonna need to wait for a sale

 

[thatJohann]

Loving the 30 min I played. Looks incredible and runs silky smooth with VRR on PS5.

 

[The Fartist]

How's performance on PS4 Pro? I'd get it on PC, but read that it's not running so well there

 

[shubik]

The various locations of the game are simply incredibly. What a fantastic artstyle

 

[apowhungo]

game wont download on PS5 even though it says I bought it? any suggestions?

Missed opportunity.....should've ended with "Available right meow"

 

[thatJohann]

Loving this game. One of the prettiest I've seen.

 

[NeonDelta]

Loving it so far. Put about 3 hours into it.

Curently doing thr sleep for an hour trophy. My controller just snoring and purring away while I watch TV.

 

[Tommi84]

You're in luck!!! It costs like 29Dollars for the full game, where the games usually cost 60+ Dollars

 

[MidGenRefresh]

That doesn't sound good.

It's called modern game design. I hate it but hey you get to play as a cat so nothing else matters.
