Stepping into Perfect Tides: Station to Station felt like being a teenager again: angsty, emotionally heavy, and stuck in that strange limbo of a summer holiday where everything feels too big. Consuming a story about another angsty, emotionally heavy girl trying to navigate the world, I felt seen in a way I hadn’t since my teen years.
Stray is a phenomenal game with a great premise, excellent mechanics, and a story that will tug at your heart-strings. However, its port to the Nintendo Switch hardware is a little substandard. If a Switch was the only gaming hardware you owned, or you wanted the handheld experience, I could confidently suggest grabbing a copy. However, if you were planning to play it predominantly on a TV or monitor, I would suggest picking it up for another console instead (and if you haven’t yet, you absolutely should).
