My problem with Stray (and other modern "adventure games")
My problem with Stray (and other modern "adventure games")
I recently played through Stray and had a, um, somewhat mixed experience. I wasn't even planning on doing a video about it but it left me with a lot of things I just had to get off my chest, so... ...
Tried to watch this and just couldn't get past the first couple of minutes. This is entirely reactionary clickbait. "This game that was positively reviewed, sold well, and avoided major controversies is actually BAD and you need to give me 25 minutes of watch time to find out why. You will be shocked to find out that the $30, 4 hour indie game has FLAWS"
I can understand that feeling 100% - but from what I have come to know about him, nah, he just genuinely dislikes the game (and a lot of other good games) and has problems with how it has been praised. I really don't think it's clickbait, he's just a grumpy dude most of the time. If you do want to give him the benefit of the doubt and understand what perspective he is coming from, the summary he gives starting at around 20:28 are his arguments - if they are valid or not for others is another thing, but I at least understand why he personally thinks it and I really don't think it's not genuine and just an act to get controversy clicks.
