- Octodad: Dadliest Catch is quite a hard game to actually recommend but, at the same time, it’s worth a dabble for a cheap laugh. While the original was praised for its interesting proof of concept, this rendition of trying to flesh out the idea further can feel a bit stretched. However, there is a charm to this game and its very short length ensures that it doesn’t outstay its welcome too much, and, if you want, you can always try and coordinate the lovable protagonist with a friend for some squits and giggles.
Darren Palma · Dec 05, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - While kids will love the simple, bold, bright cartoon-like characters and physical humour, older players will likely feel that they are constantly at odds with the game's controls and become immune to its charms. If you haven't experienced Octodad before it's worth checking out, but be cautious - it will make you giggle as well as probably stretch your patience.
Jon Cousins · Nov 10, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Octodad features splendid and cute 3D graphics. Gameplay is delightful and not very difficult, making for a kid-friendly game that anyone can get into. The developer responds rather fast if you’re experiencing an issue with the game. Octodad doesn’t support lower-end devices, so you’ll need to be running the latest OS to get the best gameplay experience without bugs like crashing issues.
Daniel Adrian Sanchez · Nov 27, 2015 Reviewed on - If you know what you're getting with Octodad, which is a game that is meant to be intentionally clumsy, and forgive the moments when the clumsiness works against you, you'll have a good time with the game. There's a lot of great moments, and some frustrating moments, but such is life, no?
Carter Dotson · Nov 09, 2015 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - I loved Octodad’s premise right when I heard about it, and I’m glad to finally have the chance to play it. The Wii U version doesn’t run at 100%, but It’s already sold me on any projects Young Horses works on in the future. I just hope it comes to a Nintendo platform sooner.
Adam Abou-Nasr · Nov 09, 2015 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - It's charm totally won me over and made it worth sticking with to the end, though I'm not particularly enticed to sink much lime into free play, co-op, or even the short extras offered beyond the story mode. Technical issues aside, Octodad is an adorable little game that doesn't overstay its welcome.
Campbell Bird · Oct 29, 2015 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Octodad is a clever game that is fun in the same sense something like Goat Simulator is. It is hilarity, physics-based mayhem that is entirely random. The difference here is that the developers tried to streamline it with actual objectives and level progression, which can lead to frustration. Still it is worth checking out, especially for those that did not get a chance on PC or PS4.
Ken McKown · Aug 27, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Those with a strict set of rules on how a game should play may not find it as enjoyable as I did, but the hilarity of the mundane tasks you’re forced to do as an octopus should be more than enough to get most of you through this bizarre ride with a smile on your face. Though it’s not a long game (clocking in at around 3-5 hours depending on play-style), it’s certainly one of the more enjoyable ones you’re able to take with you.
Will Hernandez · May 26, 2015 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - ...Co-op can be played in a straightforward manner where one player controls the arms and the other controls the legs. Turning on the roulette mode makes the roles change randomly after a task is completed and causes a ton of pleasant chaos. ...Indie games are alive and well on the PlayStation 4. Octodad: Dadliest Catch is another example of a small game that can make a big impact on Sony’s latest console.
Anthony Chambers · May 02, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - The hilarity and novelty wear thin quickly and there was too often that my tentacles became glitched inside of random objects or the environment itself. Octodad is worth experiencing just for how different it is from most other games out there, not to mention the trying multi-limb mode that is the co-op, but don’t expect to be enthralled by it for longer than it takes to watch a couple of ocean life documentaries.
