It seems day one games are already a reality on new ps+.
And people were saying sony wouldn’t invest in the service.

Remember when basic PS+ would sometimes get day 1 games? Not anymore.
Higher than the cheapest.

Yeah Extra is definitely a great deal, but Premium is lacking with the poor retro support and library.
I'll still get it though, because I want whatever classics I can get with trophy support. But as of now, I'd recommend the $99 a year extra tier for most players.

Nah i was saying that Sony will put all 1st party games on PS Plus day 1 eventually so it was the opposite lol
Well, sort of - but that was over a year ago.
I still like the setting and visual style - but I'm getting flashbacks of Order 1866 at this point in terms of whether it'll be interesting to play.

I've been looking forward to this game for a while. It's great to see that it'll be offered on PS Plus Extra & Premium. I'll be in the Premium tier, and this is one game I'll definitely play!
I kind of see your point, but I've considered Stray as having a greater emphasis on the adventure elements, rather than precision platforming. It encourages the player to explore its world and interact with its characters.

It's sad that the game that is included with ps+ only has one page of replies. I'm post number 33.
Street Fighter 6 is on it's 3rd page already.
I think Sony picked the wrong game to promote on PS+

Subs are AA games and indies. If you think otherwise you will be disappointed.

That's certainly a downside (although we've known about that since trailer #1,) but it's more of an adventure game than a platformer, and there's still action mechanics to combat and even to platforming traversal. (It's context-sensitive, but flowing-context, as in the entire object that is context-sensitive can be interacted with and multiple context objects to interact with in a scene, whereas usually a game would pinpoint the command like you're boxed in and all you're doing is pressing buttons upon reaching that spot to trigger the action.) When you watch a fuller gameplay session, maybe you'll see a bit more of how there's still choices, albeit maybe not skill, involved in the platforming system.
So it's not the fun kitty parkour game that maybe you're imagining, but it blends fluidity and ease-of-play-access that would open this up to a wider audience. It takes away the "whoa, almost didn't make that one" feeling of platforming, which is fun, but then again, it's a cat you're controlling, and cats don't think too much about what they're doing usually and don't fail too often (...unless they, you know, should have thought more about what they're doing.) It's sort of that Assassin's Creed comfortability where cool stuff happens without a lot of complicated button-presses or gitgud player dexterity. Think of it as, the character is already good at doing what it does, which is being a cat, so they don't need much controller input precision from you to go do that.

BTW, for those who find that Stray doesn't scratch that right itch after watching the video (or more importantly, for those who actually want even MORE cat games beyond Stray,) this kitty isn't alone out there...

If indies can continue to thrive on these services we in a great era. Gamepass put me on to some superb indies and now ps+ doing the same. What a time.

Yeah I noticed it when they first showed it. But still looks interesting. Wish the jumping/platforming was not scripted but the rest looks cool
