stray - you can play as a fucking cat

Is it? The plot (per Wikipedia) sounds retarded but the studio's twatter is not pozzed at all and the only "creator" account it links to is the logo designer, a straight man with no pronouns in bio. Annapurna is aids of course, but that's just how videogame publishers are these days.

If it isn't Niko from Oneshot, I really don't care. the game looks like one of those "wholesome" games that you see twitchfags love, and im taking a complete wild guess and saying it has a "humans bad because environment" message

Looks like an interesting concept as long as there is more going on than you can play as a cat. I saw in some videos the cat can jump around and do some crazy platforming. I noticed his has this like utility thing on it.

It's on my wish list but not at the top. This looks like something I would pick up during a sale. I bought Biomutant on release and uninstalled it. It wasn't terrible. But there are other games I have way more interest in. When I pick up one of those NVME SSD's I will probably install it again. But I will keep an eye on it and watch some video reviews.
 
Looks fun and cute but reviews make it come off as more of a point in click /walking adventure game. Like the IGN review basically stated that the game really only has two modes: solve light jumping puzzle in a area or just explore a largish town area picking up quest and then finding the solution for various robots. The big thing I saw is that you don't actually do any of the jumping yourself: its just finding the right area for X button prompt to come up so the premade animation places out.

If you want a exploratory adventure kind of game go for it just don't expect to ever reply it.

Played an hour...once you get bored of miaowing, you realise it's just a walking sim. Boring

interesting premise, I'll pick it up if it goes on sale. Would probably be better as a platformer though.

The platforming is incredibly basic. It's just walk up to ledge and see if the jump prompt displays. There's not really a jump button unless you count that. Game is cute fun for what it is. I'm a sucker for wholesome animal games, though.

Played through it a couple hours ago. Pretty good and neato game.
Just don't expect a cat simulator. It's an exploratory adventure game with a cat-themed character.
More than just a walking sim but it's still a short and sweet atmospheric thing rather than a big challenge or anything: there's decent variety in stuff like puzzles/stealth etc, but they're more about pacing/tension and you punch through them quick. It pretty much never repeats a gimmick.

Protip: I highly recommend going into settings and turning off the jump prompts, it feels a lot better to just jump via intuition.

It's not really a case of not jumping yourself, it's more like any game with pre-defined ledges invisibly marked that prevents you from making unsafe jumps (like a million other third-person adventures do it); you can jump anywhere along a platform so it's not like you just go from prompt node to prompt node or anything.
And the cat kinda looks and readies towards them so the little hops are a pretty cat-feeling way of moving, especially if you turn off them prompts. Although again, don't go expecting a cat sim.

FYI there's a couple rare platforms that are fiddly to ready jumps for, but they're annoying with prompts turned on as well and you can always tell you're meant to go that way in those cases (so it won't fuck you over to turn em off).

Looks like it could be fun. I'll probably wait until the next Steam sale if I buy it. I generally only buy games when there's a sale on. I'm Jewy that way.
