In level one, for instance, you merely want to put on your tuxedo and walk the aisle in your own wedding. Meanwhile, Octodad's "legs" don't land precisely where you want them, causing him to toddle and weave about almost drunkenly.
You see, you don't maneuver the protagonist using a traditional method (such as WASD), but guide each step by moving the mouse while holding one of its buttons. Thankfully, the first couple of levels offer silly, carefree content that meshes perfectly with the game's awkward play control. Yeah, I snickered plenty of times while playing, but I also swore and groaned now and then, especially when the game's unique mechanics hampered the experience rather than bolstering it.
I do appreciate the hell out of it, and maybe even love some of its content, but as a whole I'm not fully sold on the package. The formula here seems like it would add up to a comical adventure anyone would love.īut you know what? I don't particularly love it. As you are a cephalopod, your gait isn't very human-like, and your strange behavior and wobbly jaunt can arouse suspicion if you're not careful. During every scene, you work to maintain the con or risk discovery, even if it means putting on a tuxedo, marrying a woman, raising kids and performing everyday homeowner tasks. In it, you take the role of an octopus pretending to be a human, and everyone (including his family) is oblivious to the charade. Octodad: Dadliest Catch sounds like a terrific, feel-good game. "I tried to come up with a solid pun to go with this review, but I'm just no good at kraken jokes."
