  I agree with you, it was too much walking Sim for my liking.

  Little Kitty Big City is a much more fun cat game in my opinion. Slight mix of collectathon, platformer, puzzle game that does a good job of making you feel like a cat.

    Funny I had exactly the opposite reaction. It was far too short in a tiny area, I spent far more time battling the controls than solving puzzles, not that the puzzles were hard. I hated the experience unfortunately. There was so many times I thought, why can’t I do X, I’m a cat, but the game was locked into it’s traditional platforming. I did have a good bit of fun making people do their phones and run away with them, best bit of the game.

    This comment has prompted me to but this and will be playing it later tonight. I still loved Stray but as a void keeper, this looks right up my boulevard.

  If you’re yawning, there’s a great bookshelf in a library in the game that you can curl up and take a little nap in. Being a cat was great and made me want less of the rest of the gameplay. ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ

  I think thats a game where previous expectations play a big role. I was okay with it being a simple platformed with an interesting story.

    I mean it’s barely a platformer. it’s like, the illusion of being a platformer but it requires no real skill or precision like a platformer would. Also, it’s not even open enough for you to just platform to wherever. The “platforming” aspect of the game is completely locked down to contrived paths they need you to take.

  I saw promotional stuff to it and thought it looked interesting. Then a watched gameplay and there really isn’t gameplay. You just walk from one place to another, but you’re a cat. I’m fine if other people enjoy that, but I know it’s not for me. I’m fine with walking Sims too, but the whole point of those is they’re telling a story while you play. Stray technically has a story, but it seems very minimal and not engaging. They’re giving you so little to do so you can think ideally. It shouldn’t just be a meaningless story that doesn’t engage you if the gameplay also doesn’t engage you.
