"You get to play as a cat..."
Stop. Say no more!
Stray - Launch Trailer
Out now on Playstation.
My synopsis:
Separated from his family, an orange cat that fell into a strange place must find his way back, encountering humanoid forms of sentient robots known as Companions and an intelligent drone known as B-12. The mysteries of this underworld/cybercity place are slowly unraveled as the cat makes his way through challenges and occasional threats from two main sources, the flesh and metal-eating Zurks, and the drone-like Sentinels. How did this world come to be? Where are the humans?
I loved the concept when I previewed the trailer last year, was a bit worried that it wouldn't live up to the hype, but I was pleased with the result. The perspective and realistic portrayal of the cat is great, and his relationships with the AI beings work well. The world portrayed is impressive in design and looks gorgeous, and the storytelling works well. You can't help but shed a tear for his plight. The only drawback is that it isn't a branching narrative with different outcomes like "Detroit: Become Human," so you don't get much replay value once you get to the conclusion, just trying to complete collecting badges/sidequests/memory collections if you missed anything.
