'Stray,' a game in which you play as a cute cat, is a meow-sterpiece

The bulk of "Stray's" narrative is told through memories and the bits and pieces of information you glean from your surroundings as you trek upward through the city's levels. This steady trickle of insight meant I never stopped scouring every area I entered for clues, eager to piece together the mystery of the city's past. And I was absolutely okay with that, because "Stray's" world is one you're all too happy to bask in. I don't think I've ever spent so much time in a video game doing absolutely nothing. Whenever the kitty curled up for a nap, I would just sit and vibe, watching the camera slowly zoom back to reveal more of the gorgeous setting as gentle music played, listening to the city breathe while a gentle purr echoed through my controller.
