Recenzje Stray

[h1]Story masterpiece, gameplay failure.[/h1] [strike] As the beggining I want to state that I am not a native English speaker, so as I checked it for spelling and grammar mistakes I still could done something wrong.[/strike] [i]Stray[/i] was on my wishlist from the moment it was announced. I love cats, in recent years I have become a bit of a gamer, and the story seemed interesting. In that regard, I was not disappointed. The story is beautifully crafted, immersive, and emotionally engaging. In terms of storytelling, it's a 10/10. However, when it comes to gameplay, I found [i]Stray[/i] severely lacking. The mechanics are simple, and while I understand the concept, I expected more depth. I have played other story-driven games, but this one felt the weakest in terms of gameplay. In my honest opinion, the puzzles are far too easy. I was not speedrunning; in fact, I played the game slowly, spending a lot of time exploring and searching for Memory collectibles. Yet, I still finished it in only six hours. I understand that [i]Stray[/i] is an indie game, so it is naturally not as complex as some AAA titles. However, considering its price—especially the full price—it does not feel like an indie game in terms of value. I have no issue with shorter games as long as they are reasonably priced. The game is also somewhat confusing in terms of its target audience. It is great for more casual gamers who play occasionally. For frequent players, it might serve as a fun speedrunning challenge or a relaxing game to wander around in. However, for intermediate gamers like myself—who play regularly but are not professionals—the game is too easy as a standard playthrough, yet non-intuitive when aiming for 100% completion. At one point, I was reminded of the [i]Portal[/i] series, but [i]Portal[/i] offers more entertainment due to its player-made chapters. One more thing to mention—the "cat factor." As I mentioned at the beginning, I love cats, but I have a feeling that [i]Stray[/i] used this as a sort of bait. Yes, there are a few moments where the fact that the protagonist is a cat is utilised creatively (such as scratching to knock on a door or to destroy/move something), but in other cases, it felt more like tokenism—[i]oh, we have a carpet here, let's add a scratching point.[/i] Although I love the story, I have concerns about some of the game's small details. Since they are quite specific and nitpicky, I will mention only one: How do the plants in the City obtain carbon dioxide? Light is merely a source of energy for incorporating CO₂ into more complex compounds, and it was stated that these plants were modified to grow without light. However, CO₂ itself is a crucial part of plant metabolism, and they cannot function without it. Robots do not produce oxygen, and the only possible organisms using CO₂ would be the Zurks (though they have their own biological inconsistencies), but since they can survive tightly sealed in cocoons, I doubt they play a significant role in the ecosystem. To conclude this overly long review, I want to emphasise that I deeply appreciate the story. I would absolutely love to watch a movie with this scenario, but I have enough concerns that I would hesitate to recommend this game to my friends.

Stray is a charming point-and-click adventure with a unique cyberpunk atmosphere. Playing as a stray cat feels natural, with smooth animations and satisfying meows. The world is immersive, filled with neon-lit alleys and mysterious robots. The story, while simple at first, evolves into an engaging tale of loneliness and companionship. Though not groundbreaking, it keeps you hooked. Overall, Stray is a beautifully crafted game that’s a must-play for cat lovers and fans of atmospheric adventures.

Absolutnie kocham. Małe arcydzieło na styku sci-fi i ekologicznej wrażliwości.

Niesamowita gra! W kilku momentach przyprawia o lekki zawal ale bardzo polecam! Z checia bede do niej wracala :)

the game is really cool and has a sad vibe, great graphics, the city looks beautifully gloomy meow!

Świetna, pełna emocji gra. Oprawa graficzna dopracowana, dialogi z postaciami ciekawe i czasem śmieszne. Fabuła cudowna, pełna przyjaźni i oddania. Mechanika bardzo przyjemna w swojej prostocie, nie wymaga skilla dlatego można się dobrze bawić, a nie pocić. Brakło mi jedynie powrotu do utraconych przyjaciół na sam koniec, mimo emocjonującej końcówki. Bardzo polecam tę grę dla osób, które chcą odpocząć i wczuć się w ten magiczny, koci świat mruczka. ❤️🐈

Szczyt fabuła, dobra grafika i odstresywujący gameplay. Jeśli myślisz o kupieniu tej gry to ZRÓB TO

Spoko fabuła, ładna grafika, trochę krótka gra jak na tą cenę.

Dawno nie grałam w tak świetną grę. Żadnych długich dialogów, dużo odkrywania i przede wszystkim główny bohater :) Padem gra się zdecydowanie lepiej niż klawiaturą, ale to kwestia przyzwyczajenia. Świetna muzyka i bardzo rozbudowany świat :)

Game is amazing in general, I'd 100% recommend it to players who enjoy not too much action, but adventure in their games. The graphics that this game has is unique, which I'd personally say is stunning. It's definitely worth playing not only for the experience, but also story which I'd say is nothing I expected when I first bought this game. 11/10 because it's about kitty
