At some parts in the game, the French chef will find you, and you must do an action sequence where you must run away from him or find a way to stop him. But on the easiest difficulty selection you won’t have to worry about that as much and can just focus on the task at hand. In the game, if you make too much of a mess or act too weird, people will start watching you and if you keep messing up, you’ll get caught or found out and must start the mission over. The game also has different difficulty levels, and I recommend at least starting the game on the easiest selection at first. This makes things a lot easier (as long as you and your pal have good communication skills). One person will control the tentacle that acts as the arm, and the other player will use a separate controller to move the legs. Luckily, you can also play the game in co-op mode, which is what I recommend doing at least at first. ![]() It sounds a bit complicated, and it is, but it also leads to a lot of funny situations as you try to figure out how to do basic tasks this way. To walk around, you must point in the direction you want to go with the left stick and lift each leg to move by pressing the ZL and ZR buttons alternately. You’ll control his tentacles separately, and use the right stick to move his arm around and pick things up with his tentacle by pressing the R button. But it’s not as easy as you might think given you must do all these things as an octopus. Once you complete all the missions in an area, you can move onto the next. In each area you’ll be given missions to complete, like mowing the lawn, grilling burgers for the family, getting certain groceries on the list, or finding the kids at the aquarium. In the game you’ll go through various areas like the family’s house, the grocery store, the rooms of the aquarium, etc. You’ll also have to make sure not to make too many mistakes or draw attention to yourself or you might get caught by one of the aquarium’s many marine biologists (the game claims they “know a fish when they see one”), or a revengeful French chef who is out to get you! Octodad: Dadliest Catch is available to download on most of the current-gen game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here. In the new game, Dadliest Catch, not only must you do household chores this way, but you must also take the family to the grocery store as well as an outing to the aquarium, which doesn’t make Octodad too happy to be there. In the original game, you would try and do household chores while controlling the octopus’ legs and arms separately which isn’t as easy as it sounds and oftentimes would lead to funny sights. Somehow along the way he’s been able to get married and have two kids (best not to think too much on that). I had a smile on my face for most of time watching Octodad try to navigate the environment without knocking over things or running into people.Originally a short PC project, Octodad is a 3-D action game where you play as an octopus disguised as a human. The movements are not precise, which makes for some very funny moments. The gameplay is unique in this regard because it revolves around each tentacle being controlled by a different button. The goal is to act as human as possible, so as you perform these tasks you try to blend in and not have your cover blown. ![]() Chores Made FunĪs Octodad, you get the opportunity to do normal everyday activities such as grocery shopping, mowing the grass, and making coffee. These narrative moments are where the game excels. This look back gives a necessary twist since there is no change in the gameplay. ![]() I really enjoyed the storytelling and how it was accomplished through this flashback. About half way through the story, a traumatic incident happens and you flashback to how you came to live in the human world. The story is told starting with your marriage to your human wife and your life at home with your kids follows. Octodad Dadliest Catch puts you in the tentacles of an octopus trying to live on dry land with his human family. If it wasn’t for a few maddening levels, I would want another order of this tasty calamari. Your flailing tentacles create charm and humor in spades. ![]() Octodad Dadliest Catch – IntroductionĪs a cephalopod protagonist, Octodad Dadliest Catch is nothing if not original.
