In this video I talk about the post apocalyptic world of Stray, its robots, monsters, and its cute cats. Highly recommend ! --------------- BGM: Stray OST Get the game on Steam!
I only wish that we could've had a mode where we could explore all the places after finishing the game, just to go back and talk to the free bots, or just to explore again and just be a cat with no mission but to explore and chill.
@@adrenalinebmx8794 You can’t though. Once you finish the game that’s that. And you can’t go back to previous sections once you’ve reached a new one- unless there’s been an update?
Stray is really breath of fresh about within the post-apocalyptic genre, because there isn't a lot of games that focus from the animal's pov and how affect them.
I expected a cute little cat game to pass the time...not a gorgeously-rendered, full-blown post-apocalyptic wasteland with a story and quest to put Mario Odyssey levels to shame. What a ride
I loved this game, though to be fair my being a cat-person might’ve influenced my opinion very heavily. Anyway, one thing I did feel when roaming around the Walled City was.. depression. Depression and dread. The claustrophobic nature of the infrastructure was really depressing to look at, but I felt a connection to all the robots who somehow inherited what made humans humans: emotions. I wish this game was a bit longer, but maybe the length is exactly what it needed to be. I didn’t pay for it, since I’m subscribed to PS Plus Premium, but this game 100% is worth people’s money.
I wonder, is humanity extinct or has left the city or has digitalized itself like b12? 1. In the control room, everything is very neat. Show that they leave in an orderly manner. 2. During the game, we can see many white chambers similar to the one in the secret room we found b12
only one room had access to only humans. Why everything else was neat was because the companions kept it neat and tidy. They probably threw the dead bodies from the plague into an incinerator and then continued on with their programmed duties.
@@duckysgt yeah but thats just one room. I don’t think it being clean proves they digitized themselves. Its also not the place they’d throw their papers around and knock over cups.
The first time I saw a screenshot of the game I thought it was a simulator and that helps the game to be even more surprising. If someone plays expecting a post-apocalyptic scenario, it may not have the same impact, although the visuals and animations are admirable. They were right about making the player always curious about what will come next. Now I'm curious about the world outside and can't avoid any videos talking about it. :)
Idk i still find it wierd that the Companions just gained sentience.. they seem to remember things like smells.. so what if some of them are uploaded like b-12?
DING DING DING - they haven't "evolved" - they ARE human, they are uploaded into the system just like the Doc/B12 was - that's the difference, the ones that are still "base" didn't get over written - so nothing has "evolved", they are just doing what they used to do since the process seems far from perfect.
I feel lile you get a background idea of what life is like and it provides a bit of mystery too. They should have done more with the cat but they did enough to be satisfying. The view is incredible and we get to view a dystopia kind of environment
I didn’t have any expectations about this game, but as I was playing it, I liked it more and more and after I finished it I loved it. What a beautiful game! ❤
Def A LOT longer than 7 million years. 2 BIG clues. 1. Look at the clocks (Time Will Tell clue). They are 16 hour clocks, so 32 hour days. When will the earth’s rotation slow to 32 hour days? 2.3 billion years from now. Another clue; at the end, when they show you a picture of the earth and where the city is, look at the continents; they look NOTHING like they do today.
I'm no game designer.. But I remember wanting to make a gta type open world set in the serengetti.. No human characters just animals.. And you would be able to play as different animals, herbivores and predators
I'm kinda surprised that reviewers aren't seeing parallels with anime films like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Paprika, and the series Attack on Titan. Post apocalyptic worlds where humans have created destructive chaos either through trying to enhance human consciousness through biomechanical means, seriously advanced AI or genetic engineering OR in the pursuit of ending war and cultural dissension by making the ultimate weapon/doomsday device. Attack on Titan has walled cities to protect humans from giant human like drones that may have been made by biochemistry and possibly magic? And, of course, ignoring the obvious detrimental harm that has been done by pollution and waste mismanagement because it is inconvenient for the rich and would cost them too much to address it in any kind of meaningful way. Thoughts and prayers, Ya'll, thoughts and prayers...
This game is great, I’ll admit I was hoping for more of the cat aspect, being able to just chill and mess with people, specifically humans, but either way, this was still fun
Just to add, there's some clocks in 12 hour count, but rare to appear, could be an oversight. You can find one near the bed from that nerd robot we take the code and the tracker to be fixed.
@@soleyalexandravalbergsdott3126 maybe I can’t really spot walls covering the city Edit: Wikipedia says there’s no visible wall but the way it looks makes it look like it was made in a compact room
I don’t understand how you keep saying “I will not spoil” while spoiling the story anyway lol. Great explanation though, I just wish you did go into the things you left out… future video?
@@baimhakani oh for sure!! I’m curious though, can the cat understand b12 (you react to him) or is he talking to himself and everything is a coincidence the cat is complying?
Since the clocks had 16 digits a day should have had 32 hours and since we know that the earth spins slower as time goes by it should have been 7 million years later and not 300 years later because then it would have only been 25 hours per day. I ain't no scientist don't come for me i just thought I'd share my hypothesis
There's no way in hell that robots and cats evolved to new stages and a bacteria grew to a animal in a few hundred years.. Millions make more sense.. It would also explain why we don't even see a human skeleton anywhere.. There are many levels with no zorks that probably would have skeletons if it was just a few centuries later
Well my interpretation of the 16h clocks was that this world is inherited now by machines who evolved beyond what they were programmed too and designed their own world. But how are machines, in our world, programmed? Via binary code or, which is also quite common, via hexadecimal code. Hence the 16 units to a day :)
This video game kind of ripped off the story from the movie 9. Which was animated using Valve's Source engine. The scientist had put his soul into 9 puppets to fight AI robots.
Transferring human memories to robots already existed since the late 50s. 9 movie was released in 2009 so your argument that Stray is a ripoff of 9 movie is wrong.
