Octodad: Dadliest Catch Review

Octodad: Dadleist Catch is a brilliant game on the PC and PS4 that's designed to be hilarious. It's about a Man with a wife and two children who has a big secret, he's really an octopus in disguise. The hilarity shines through when Octodad tries to do ordinary everyday tasks like to to the supermarket or mow the lawn, which is very difficult for a slippery octopus who slides around the screen. Of course nobody suspects who he really is, apart from the sushi chef who live next door. he's trying to hunt down and kill Octodad, it's a lighthearted story for a lighthearted game that doesn't take itself seriously. And I love that.

One of my gripes with this game is it's so short, only about 2 hours long. But you'll be laughing the whole time and the longevity is extended by the Steam Workshop. But the game's got so much quality and little quantity it just doesn't deliver what a great character like Octodad deserves. The game's character dialouge is spoken all the way through and you really start to get attached to them and can't bare to see them go. The voice acting of every single character is superb and helps their personality and quirkiness shine through, with Octodad himself not even talking. He just makes 'blob' and 'blib' noises that are adorable to listen to.

As a whole this is a great, cheap-as-chips indie game that should not be missed. I only hope this game gets another entry in the series, as I demand more! The creativity shines and more games as a whole should be like this, not take themselves too seriously and not be afraid to become down-right hilarious and silly.

Overall the game gets 8/10.
