VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In some ways, 2022 felt like a mini-renaissance for the adventure genre. The final third of the year kept point-n-click adventure fans well-fed with revivals like Return to Monkey Island, new IPs like The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, and more, while more choice-focused ones were scattered throughout the year, such as Pentiment and The Quarry. Games from old and new studios made it through our preliminary voting list, impressing the VGC community and critics alike. Now, after two layers of filtering, we’ve reached the final four contestants."
All the wholesome charm of an indie game, but with bigger teams and bigger budgets.
"Stray won’t challenge you, frustrate you, or take up too much of your time. Perhaps that’s why we enjoyed it so much. It plays like an open-world point-and-click paired with largely on-rails action sequences. Some minor gripes and expected disparities between the Switch port and versions elsewhere aside, as we sauntered around its post-apocalyptic environments on all fours, Stray did an impeccable job of making us want to talk to everyone and explore everything it had to offer – and we had an appetite for more once it was all over. To us, that’s the mark of a compelling adventure." - Nile Bowie | NintendoLife
