The animal kingdom is giving Stray multiple paws up I'm not kitten you! News by Victoria Kennedy News reporter Published on 20 Jul 2022 23 comments Stray has gotten off to an incredible start on Twitch and Steam, with player numbers skyrocketing since the game's launch. However, it turns out it's not just us humans that have fallen for this new release. Our cats and dogs have also become enamored with the four-legged cuties on screen, with many owners now taking to the internet to share their pets' felines on the whole thing. Watch on YouTube A spoiler free Stray PS5 review from Eurogamer's video team. First up, let's give the cats their time to shine. It is, after all, the game of their kin. "#Stray is a 100/10 game. This is priceless," wrote one fan, sharing a clip of their own kitty pawing playfully at the cats on screen. #Stray is a 100/10 game.

I didn't think I had a 3D TV but the effects in Stray are realistic as heck pic.twitter.com/Ub15x6aClb- Imran Khan (@imranzomg) July 20, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Do they love it as much, given that they famously do not always see eye to eye with cats? Well, our own Matt Reynolds has informed me that Fenway gives Stray a canine out ten. Fenway is a big fan of Stray. pic.twitter.com/Uz2bUE49JT- Matthew Reynolds (@Crazyreyn) July 19, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

I wanted to get a video because she was watching the cats and then she just went for the tv," shared one player, before assuring us no TVs were harmed in the making of this video. Man's best friend indeed. I guess we need to wait til the dog passes out before we play Stray.

He is pretty docile when it comes to other games I have been playing recently, although he does have an uncanny knack of snoring and twitching quite loudly whenever I get to an emotional cutscene. Saying that, he has also been known to muster up the speed of Mo Farrah as soon as my neighbour's cat sets one paw across our threshold. Basically, what I am saying is this is going to go to either one extreme or another. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, do check out Eurogamer's guides on all things Stray.
