![]() ![]() Young Horses did find a unique way to let players team up to control Octotdad, by allowing them each to move a different set of limbs with additional controllers. Once you play through the story (which is no more than 3 hours long), all that’s left is to find 100% of the hidden ties scattered on each level and clean up some relatively easy trophies. 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. OCTODAD DADLIEST CATCH FOR PS4 HOW TOThe 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. OCTODAD DADLIEST CATCH FOR PS4 PS4Though 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. All of these bonuses give the game a great amount of replay value for the $15 price tag.Octodad: Dadliest Catch isn’t your typical console videogame - not by a long shot. I will warn you now, their completion times are insane. There is also a “time attack” mode where you can play a level and try to beat the best times of the developers. Turning on the roulette mode makes the roles change randomly after a task is completed and causes a ton of pleasant chaos. Co-op can be played in a straightforward manner where one player controls the arms and the other controls the legs. ![]() ![]() There are three different difficulties, a collection of hidden ties you can find, and a co-op mode that is completely bonkers. ![]() To enhance the single player campaign, developer Young Horses added a nice amount of depth to the game. To go along with the Saturday morning cartoon comparison, the theme song for the game is one of the best you will ever hear. You laugh when he speaks in blurbs to his kids as they ask him questions that every parent must answer. You feel bad when his wife misunderstands him. He is like one of your favorite Saturday morning cartoon characters that you watch and root for. In the bits of frustration I would have with getting stuck in the environment, or unsuccessfully completing certain tasks, Octodad, as a character, still resonated with me. There is such a campy, cartoon feeling to Octodad: Dadliest Catch, which gives the game a resounding quality that makes you care about the character. Friends and family who don’t play games at all will be hooked as they watch Octodad destroy his own kitchen by grabbing a jug of milk and spilling it all over the place. ![]()
