9/10
Cutest game this far this year

Warning: Spoilers
Just to get it out. I love cats and this game has a stray cat in it. I played on PS4 and the only thing that affected was loading times when you died. Sorry, I managed to get a cat killed in a video game. I don't usually review video games here but had to in this case.

The graphics are good and in full HD I could notice the cat's individual hairs. The environment is a bit bleak but that's mostly because the game takes place mostly in a domed city.

Gameplay is great too but sometimes I got a bit frustrated with the jump thing. You have to look in the direction you're jumping to and if it's high surface like most are in the game you have to press x to jump. You could not jump any other way like in many other video games. Jumping was reserved for moving to different heights and x didn't do anything otherwise. You could meow whenever you wanted and triangle was interact button. R2 to run. Those are the basic things you need to know.

The problem I have with this game is that humans seem to just have vanished. The little robot tell you eventually about some plague that happened and viped out humanity in the city and the outside not being suitable for humans. The city is called Walled city 99. What about other cities? I also have a theory why the Companion robots act like humans. They're humans. The robots are trying to eat and drink. This only makes sense if they were used to it before. They also don't seem to be aware of being robots. The other robots at the end of the game act like actual robots. We also hear that the little bit is a human. The person uploaded themselves into a machine. Why couldn't other have don't that? I didn't get every memory so there that. Stray 2 anyone? There's a huge world and so meny opportunities for expansion.
