Quick Hit

Straw leans into tension and unpredictability, delivering a solid genre hit.

Full Take

Straw builds atmosphere with a steady hand, mixing suspense and character pressure into something that keeps you locked in. It’s not reinventing the genre, but it delivers enough intensity and style to make it worth your time.

Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.

I’m somewhere in the middle on Straw. I can see why people rock with it because the tone is there. I just don’t think every piece is firing at the same level. So yeah, I respect it more than I love it.
