I’m not down for these kinds of games, either. Short, linear experiences with little to no agency are, IMO, barely even games. I tend not to spend my money on games that I will play through once in like 8 hours, and then never touch again except maybe years later out of nostalgia.
Personally that’s the dream game for me. I haven’t got time for hundreds of mid-tier grinding hours. Give me something with emotional impact and an absorbing world that lasts at most 10 hours.
If I want just gameplay I’ll just play one of numerous ranked games to get that fix

I play these for the story, and the story in Stray was great.
This isn’t a telltale game and has more of an open world element which shakes it up a bit.
All in all, I really enjoyed the game and I generally would say exactly what you did.
