DO NOT BUY Stray - VERY disappointing

After several hours with Stray, he finds its cat gimmick initially novel but eventually boring, clunky, and frustrating to control. He criticizes automated platforming, repetitive unchallenging box puzzles, and a shallow, predictable dystopian story lacking character connection. He rates the roughly four-hour, $30/£22 game 6.2/10, recommending it only to cat lovers if discounted.

He rejects novelty and cuteness when weak control, shallow gameplay, and poor value dominate.
