• 036 - Stray

  In this episode of Unskippable Dialogue, hosts Pearse McCann and Conor King revisit Stray, the cyberpunk cat-simulator that took the world by storm — and then gently knocked our hearts off the shelf. Originally released as a free PS Plus title, Pearse returns for a second playthrough on PS5 to re-examine what makes Stray such a standout indie hit.From its haunting, neon-drenched setting to the stunning art direction and evocative soundtrack, this feline-led adventure remains a beautifully-crafted gem. But it’s not all headbutts and nap spots — we dig into the divisive moment the cat gets a weapon, and whether this tonal shift derails the immersive worldbuilding or adds depth to the gameplay.As always, we close with our patented Unskippable rating — and yes, Stray claws its way to a full recommendation.Whether you’re a cat person, a cyberpunk fan, or just into games that don’t overstay their welcome, this one’s for you.UD is a weekly Irish gaming podcast serving up honest game reviews, deep dives, retro throwbacks, and sharp commentary on the world of gaming.Follow us:Ig – https://instagram.com/unskippabledialogueX – https://twitter.com/unskippablepodTikTok – https://tiktok.com/@unskippabledialogueYouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@UnskippableDialogueSign up at https://www.unskippabledialogue.com for updates, giveaways, and exclusive content.Contact: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
