There are tons of great games out right now, whether you want to explore a fantasy world or hang out with your buddies and fish — and there’s still more to come before the year ends. But there’s another game you might have missed when it debuted a few years ago that’s well worth getting into now that it’s headed to Nintendo Switch: Stray. After racking up accolades and awards, it’s making the leap from PS5, Xbox, PC, and Mac to the handheld Nintendo console later this month. If you love cats, you’re not going to want to miss this one.
As of Nov. 6, you can pre-order Stray on Nintendo Switch at Amazon for $39.99. This price is for the physical edition of the game, which comes with six full-color art cards depicting Stray‘s feline protagonist.
Stray puts you into the paws of a stray cat, as you may have surmised by the title. Said cat accidentally falls down into a strange cyber city, apparently the aftermath of an apocalyptic event, and must find a way to return to the surface. Of course, this kitty isn’t alone. With the help of a drone named B-12 and an adorable kitty backpack, the cat can navigate the city by jumping from roof to roof, climbing, and other catlike moves.
There are plenty of puzzles to solve as well, most of which use items the cat can store in its backpack, all while staying out of reach of enemies known as Sentinels and Zurks. Oh, and there’s bacteria and machines everywhere, too. What happened to this city? There’s a gorgeous story that plays out throughout your feline adventure that makes Stray such an exciting and inspirational play. Oh, and cats — because that’s all we really need to know to want to play.
