I love this game! I have thoroughly enjoyed this interesting world with the crazy characters and excellent artwork. I played it twice now, and have spent many hours just exploring and interacting with the environment at my own pace. It’s a fun game to revisit. I think the price is totally worth it for someone like me who isn’t a gamer. I like to take my time and enjoy this kind of game with its interesting storyline and challenging puzzles and barriers that need to be solved and overcome to move on to the end. I hope someday, the creators will come up with more games like this. The one and only thing I wish it had, was a save button for when I have to shut down. It autosaves often, but it would be nice to have control over that feature.

This game is STUNNING. It’s dark and mysterious world is very interesting to explore and the game plays wonderfully on my Mac Mini 8G M2 with only occasional momentary lag or tearing (nothing that impaired game play). The story is dark and yet hopeful, and the art in it is so incredible. I found the interesting way of interacting with objects to be fun - knocking things off, leaping from this or that ledge or railing, or moving an empty barrel by getting into it and walking to make it roll, to be very imaginative and immersive. Also, the cat you play and the way you can meow whenever you want is so fun. I can’t recommend this game enough.

I first played Stray on my PlayStation 5, I played through it 3 separate times in the span of a few months and thoroughly enjoyed it each time! As I have recently switched from Windows to Mac, I was much more than excited to see that it was coming to this platform.A few possible spoilers are imminent.This game is incredible. As a cat lover myself, I'm glad that cats are finally getting more acknowledgement in games, especially this one. Aside from the main character literally being my (and many other people considering this game's) favorite animal, there are a few more things that make this game so worth it. The action scenes are fun and get the adrenaline going without being too rage-inducing and repetitive. And when you aren't in an action scene, it's a very calm and relaxing game. This is the perfect game to play cuddled up on your bed on a rainy evening. It can be a little emotional at times too. When moving on from a chapter and going to a different area within the Walled City, you begin to remember all the great inhabitants you met and may get a little sad knowing that you won't be able to go back and see them again. At least, this was the case for me. The optimization is great too, it runs really well on my 19c M2 Pro MacBook Pro. Not many developers optimize their games well on macOS, but it was done very well here; on max settings, my temps are steady at around 80ºC with the fans kicking on of course, and I average right around 120 FPS, it would probably be even higher if i turned VSync off and played around with the graphics settings a little. Every now and then I will get a bit of lag when there's alot going on on-screen, but that's typical. I've gotten to The Sewers so far and I haven't had any major performance issues at all. Overall, this is a truly incredible game that is perfect for cat lovers and optimized game lovers alike. I highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a new, calm story game to play, or anyone who likes cats in the slightest. Thank you again for bringing this game to Mac, devs!

I thought this was going to be a relaxing adventure game. That's how I've always seen it marketed at least and why I was willing to spend the money to see for myself... I also should have read the reviews because I wasn't aware this game was so short. $30 for this? Trash. This game had so much potential, but there are so many high stress parts where you have to run away/fend off these bionic mutated bacteria rodents but theres no actual combat gameplay which makes this aspect of the experience just annoying and generally unpleasant. The concept? Brilliant. The aesthetic? Otherwordly. The storyline? Interesting enough. Being chased by aggresive bionic opossums? Irritating and just plain unnecesary. 2 1/2 stars from me
