Stray is one of the best short games I've ever played. (self.gaming)

If you're not familiar with Stray, it's a PS4/PS5 game where you play as a cat. It's a very short game; the main story can be beaten in an afternoon. However, it's available on PS+ (although going away soon), and can be purchased outright for <$30.

It's the first time in a long time where I felt totally delighted by how innovative and different a video game was. First of all, playing as a cat isn't just a cute gimmick. The level designs are all about navigating around slums using your size and acrobatic abilities of a cat.

Second, the world that the devs have created is so cool. It's like some sort of cyberpunk version of Kowloon Walled City.

This game is not Elden Ring. But for an afternoon, it's absolutely worth your time. I can't recommend it enough. Especially if you are finding yourself burned out by the usual types of games. I hope the devs follow up with something else adjacent to this game!

Stray is a great game, wasn’t too scary and one I could play and not worry about kids watching. Plus they liked to tell me what to do and got into it cause it’s a cat! I highly recommend the game and I was just reading it might come to the gamepass which would be great.
