Octodad: Deadliest Catch Review

Octodad : Deadliest Catch is one of the funniest games I have played in a long time! You play as an octopus who is trying to convince everyone that he is a human. This is the second game, in the series. The game play consists of completing different chores and objectives without letting people know you are really an octopus in disguise. The controls are set up so that the two trigger buttons control Octodads "legs" and the R1, L1, buttons (on PS4) are used for controlling his "arms" If you have played Surgeon Simulator you get the concept of the controls, for those who have not, let me say the game is designed to make every day activities a challenge to accomplish, this is also where most of the humor comes from. Many times I was laughing out loud to Octodad fumbling around. Some of the more memorable moments for me were the scenes at the grocery store, and the World of Kelp.

The game isn't very long and if you know what you are doing you could easily beat it in a few hours. However the game does offer some reasons to go back and play again. Free Roam mode allows you to explore all the different levels in the Story mode and just cause mayhem, the game also supports a co-op mode where up to four players can control individual limbs of Octodad. If you thought the game was challenging to control in single player think again.

In conclusion Octodad is a game with a big sense of humor, and a heavy heart. Octodad has one of the catchiest theme songs and I really hope to see more in the future. Octodad : Deadliest Catch is available on both PC, Mac, Linux as well as PS4. For this review I played the PS4 version of the game.
