All 25 members of staff on the gaming team at Annapurna Interactive - publisher of acclaimed indies like Outer Wilds, Stray and Neon White - have reportedly resigned after talks to spin-off the division as an "independent entity" broke down.
]]>EAFC 24 has roared back to the head of the UK physical sales charts following Black Friday, likely due to the fact it was being sold for a lot less money in a lot of places during that week.
]]>Annapurna Animation is preparing to adapt BlueTwelve Studio's award-winning cat game Stray into an animated film.
]]>Xbox users rejoice! Stray is now available for both Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
]]>The best story-based games are ageless. While gameplay can become clunky with the passing of time, an enthralling narrative is just as gripping whether it came out in 2004 or 2024.
]]>We knew Stray was coming to Xbox, thanks to an ESRB rating, but now we know exactly when we can play as the sweet ginger tabby on Microsoft's system - August 10.
]]>While we already know that the likes of Far Cry 6, Inscription, and more will be arriving on PlayStation Plus in due course, PS Plus subscribers will be bidding farewell to some stellar games during July. Meaning that unless you cough up some cash or find a different service to play them via, now is your last chance to give these games a go.
]]>Welcome to the Best Games Ever show Episode 52: the best game with a ginger protagonist.
]]>Robots, machines, and mutant bacteria – not traditionally the playmates of gorgeous little feline companions, are they? Yet, 2022’s Stray managed to make the relationship between cats and robots and things that should not be, somehow, incredibly sweet. The critics all agreed: this was a game to be played by everyone, a wonderful experiment in feline-lensed platforming pulled off with charm and heart. It’s just a shame that anyone that didn’t own a PlayStation or PC would never get the chance.
]]>Elden Ring has won the game of the year award at the Game Developers Choice Awards, beating outseveral other heavy hitters.
]]>Stray is not only critically acclaimed, but it is very popular with players and cat lovers.
]]>2022 has been a slow year for games, but by no means a bad one. This year, I got to spend plenty of time with games that I’d of never seen myself playing beforehand, and finally held hands with some games I’d been waiting an eternity for. On top of that, it’s been a fantastic year for horror games and reveals, which I’ll always gobble up eagerly.
]]>The nominations for this year's The Game Awards are in, and unsurprisingly, both God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring have racked up a few of them.
]]>The best cyberpunk games let you explore gorgeous, futuristic worlds, but you’re not supposed to like it. Coalescing in the hyper-capitalist ‘80s with the likes of Blade Runner, Robocop, Akira and Neuromancer, the Cyberpunk genre has its fibre-optic roots in similarly prophetic works from as far back as the ‘60s, including the original 1968 Phillip K. Dick short story, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, that Blade Runner is based on.
]]>Stray is a deeply unbelievable game. It isn’t the hostile, fleshy monsters that chase you through the sewers which stretch credulity to breaking point. A race of maintenance robots that have evolved individuality and self-awareness after the death of their creators doesn’t seem completely outside the realm of possibility. What completely obliterates the willing suspension of disbelief is the ridiculous idea that a cat would ever help anybody.
]]>Stray only released just a few weeks ago, but modders have already had a good go at transforming the indie adventure title. We've seen the likes of CJ (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) and America's laziest furball, Garfield, make their way into the game so far, opening up an avenue for modders to do what they do best.
]]>Stray is the first game from French developer, BlueTwelve, and ultimately, it’s an incredibly impressive feat from the team. Not only did Stray claw its way to the top of Steam wishlists the day prior to release, but at the time of writing, it currently sits at the top of Steam’s best of 2022, even surpassing God of War.
]]>Stray is a cat simulator intertwined with a cyberpunk adventure, and as a result, the game is strewn with dialogue and signs that are, at first, illegible to most. Fortunately, B-12 is the perfect translator, however, Josh Wirtanen of Half-Glass Gaming spent some time decoding the language for all to understand.
]]>Stray is the charming catventure from BlueTwelve Studios, and the adventurous indie has taken Steam by storm, to say the least. Not only did it top Steam's most-wishlisted the night before its release, but it's now technically become the best game on Steam in 2022, according to user reviews.
]]>Over a week ago, if you'd of mentioned ginger cats to me, my first thought would've been Garfield. Now, however, my first thought is of a very different, unnamed ginger kitty from Stray, but that doesn't mean Garfield doesn't still hold a special place in my heart.
]]>Control Room is the twelfth and final chapter of Stray. So, if you've made it this far, then well done. This short but sweet chapter brings the entire story of Stray to a close, and my only advice (aside from this guide itself) is to cherish it!
]]>Stray has only been available for three days, and has already seen its fair share of players on Steam.
]]>Amidst collecting all of B-12's memories and Morusque's Sheet Music, our furry protagonist in Stray is privy to some Badges too. These collectibles are basically badges of honour for our feline's efforts, and finding them all is certainly a fun little side quest to embark on.
]]>If you've finally made your way through the complex sewer system in Stray, and met all the inhabitants of Antvillage, you'll have found yourself in vibrant Midtown. Midtown is just as colourful as it's counterparts, but the atmosphere here is a little different. Police are rampant, and the nearby factory is being strictly policed by Sentinel drones.
]]>In Stray, the four notebooks in question are those belonging to a quad of robots known as the Outsiders. These robots have made it their lifes mission to try and reach the outside again, albeit with little luck. Although, this is where you - a four legged feline - steps in to help.
]]>Stray is full of platforms to ascend and cat-sized puzzles to solve, and while it all becomes natural to you in time, life as a cat can be a little confusing initially. That said, there's an appealing looking digital safe sealed with a mysterious password hiding away in one of The Slums many alleys, and the safe code to crack it is concealed in a note full of binary code.
]]>Stray showcases just how nimble and clever cats are, but even cats get a little confused sometimes. Unless you encounter it by accident, tracking down Super Spirit Laundry Detergent can be a little troubling.
]]>Stray is an illusive catventure with a story that nobody really knew much about until recently, and what a wonderful story it is. That being said, there’s a lot of exploring to do as a cat if you want to acquire every collectible possible.
]]>Stray is the purrfect playground that we've all been waiting to get our paws on. Now, the time is finally here for your catventure, and it's understandable if you don't want to miss a single thing out. That being said, you'll want to locate every Vending Machine across The Slums if you wish to be privy to all of Azuz's wares.
]]>Stray isn't exactly a tiring game, but sometimes, you may just want to sit back and take in the detailed landscape on offer. There are plenty of moments to do this and places to catnap, but among my favourite has to be hanging out beside the musician, Morusque.
]]>As you jump into Stray, a neon-soaked landscape that's miles away from sunlight awaits you, but you'll have to navigate your way around Dead City and The Flat first. While most of this is straight-forward, the cat-sized task at hand may be a little tricky without the help of B-12.
]]>I load up Stray, and I’m instantly greeted by our small, ginger Outsider. To progress, I must interact with my fellow feline friends, giving them a groom or play fighting with them, before we all curl up together for a catnap. It becomes apparent, very quickly, that these felines are my family.
]]>If you haven't been convinced by the lineup of PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra, then maybe you should consider the free trial that's currently available in the UK.
]]>With the release of Stray being incredibly close, a dozen devoted developers of fellow cat games have come together to showcase their love and support of the upcoming catventure.
]]>Sony has revealed the inaugural lineup of games for PlayStation Plus, which will be available to play for Extra and Premium members starting July 19.
]]>Let's hope that when July 19 rolls around, you feel like kitten around, because Stray is going to have you channeling your inner cat if you want to achieve all trophies.
]]>It looks like some more games coming to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium this month have leaked online.
]]>Stray has taken over The Day Before as the most wishlisted game on Steam, following on from controversy involving the latter using unpaid volunteers.
]]>From the outside, Stray is an adventure game made for lovers of cats and science fiction. However, at its core, Stray is something much more than that; it's a testament to curiosity and exploration, and really hones in on how cats can seemingly make any place a home.
]]>BlueTwelve Studio has announced a July 19 release date for its cat adventure game, Stray.
]]>It looks like the release date for Stray may have been leaked.
]]>Despite launching way back in 2020, it was arguably 2023 when the PS5 finally came into its own. It was always a good console, but 2023 was the first year when you could potentially just buy a PS5 without waiting in a digital queue and pouncing like an eBay sniper for even the most legitimate of purchases.
]]>Stray, the third-person cat adventure game announced back in 2020, will be released this summer, according to Sony.
]]>Stray was one of the highlights of the Annapurna Showcase.
]]>Annapurna Interactive is hosting its own Summer Game Fest showcase next month, and it's set to bring a lot more information about a slew of upcoming games.
]]>Sony has revealed the release windows for a number of third-party PS5 exclusives.
]]>In a world without humans, it's cats and robots that inherit the Earth.
