![]() ![]() So your mileage may vary in terms of how frustrating/enjoyable you find Octodad. I found my second playthrough of Octodad: Dadliest Catch much more enjoyable than the first, since I had a much better handle on the controls not to mention knowledge of was expected to complete each objective. Some of the tasks assigned to Octodad are legitimately fun and interesting (making coffee, playing arcade games, running up an escalator), though others, such as shambling across some narrow beams or climbing structures can and will touch a nerve. The first time through the game there were some seemingly simple tasks which took me way too long to perform, thus wearing on my patience rather quickly. ![]() Soon thereafter, your enjoyment will correspond with how much patience you have with the purposefully imprecise controls. ![]() The first few minutes you spend with the game - getting dressed and ready for your wedding - will be hilarious, guaranteed. The challenge is learning how to walk, pick up items and perform actions using Octodad’s floppy limbs. Using the DualShock 4’s analog sticks in conjunction with the analog triggers to actuate Octodad’s tentacles, it’s your goal to work through various everyday scenarios without causing too much attention to yourself. And that’s basically the concept of Dadliest Catch. What makes Octodad so unique is that no one realizes he’s an actual eight-limbed octopus… unless he does something stupid, like getting spotted without clothing or stumbling around excessively in public. We’re talking a house, white picket fence, trips to the grocery store, chores, fatherly duties and whatnot. Octodad: Dadliest Catch is the story (yes it has a story) of an octopus who somehow meets a human woman, gets married, has two perfectly human children, and lives a content, normal human life in the suburbs. Though if you’re looking for an offbeat PS4 adventure that shouldn’t suck up too much of your precious gaming time, Octodad: Dadliest Catch may be worth checking out. At times, Octodad is more of an Octopus-pretending-to-be-a-human-simulator than any sort of game you’ve played previously, and it certainly can be a unique, albeit occasionally frustrating, experience. I mean the catchy title alone should be enough of a tip off to tell you that. Octodad: Dadliest Catch isn’t your typical console videogame - not by a long shot. ![]()
