Octodad Dadliest Catch
Octodad Dadliest Catch is a game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about his life. Octodad’s existence is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwieldy boneless tentacles while simultaneously keeping his cephalopodan nature a secret from his human family.
In this sequel to the splash hit Octodad, our cephaloprotagonist has gotten himself in a bind between his wife’s mounting mistrust, and a disastrous trip to the local aquarium! Are you dad enough to control the titular octopus father as he strives to hide his nautical nature from his family while keeping his tangled tentacles intact?
In Octo-ber 2010, a group of university students released the original Octodad into the world. Despite everyone being convinced that the game was about a normal human dad, the game was a cult hit, gained critical acclaim, and was an Independent Games Festival Student Finalist in 2011. Octodad received enough attention that the team decided to run a Kickstarter, form the game studio Young Horses, and create a bigger, better, more polished game about Octodad. Two and a half years after beginning production, Octodad: Dadliest Catch is ready to flop awkwardly into your arms.

Octodad Dadliest Catch Review
Octodad Dadliest Catch is one of the finest indie games that I have ever played. It even has its own workshop! The workshop list is currently fairly short, but at the end of the day, game was released only few days ago.
I absolutely loved the level of interaction you have with the surrounding environment. Missions are exciting and while being linearly story-driven, every major level has a certain sandbox zone where you can enjoyably mess around with everything you see.
When I was playing the ‘fix-the-aquarium’ mission, one story from my past came to mind. I have a friend with whom we attended the same boarding school. One day we decided to play Titan Quest (2007), which was just released. So here we are, approaching the final boss, but as we will find out later, our game was somehow corrupted, which made that NPC immortal. After failing our tenth desperate attempt to slay that mob, my friend shuts his laptop and punches it with fist as hard as he can, which also “coincidently” results in brutal death of his laptop.
What I am trying to say here is that people, who also get easily frustrated, may find this game difficult to enjoy due to complex controls and barriers towards getting hold of the hidden ties (collectibles). For the rest, if you do not mind closing a blind eye on a few bugs, you will find these 3-4 hours of gameplay absolutely pleasurable.
