![]() It’s quite difficult in the early levels to fail (but not to flail). Controlling Octodad is never not a struggle mind you, it simply graduates from impossible to controlled chaos.Īfter changing into his shiny, new wedding suit Octodad must walk down the aisle without arousing the suspicions of the human lookers on. After struggling for the first few minutes the controls quickly reveal themselves as the strangely intuitive beast that they are. Got that? R1 grabs onto object while L2 and R2 are used to move his “legs” respectively. The left stick controls Octodad’s right arm’s forward and backwards movement while the right stick controls up and down. Dadliest Catch wants you to struggle to control its main character because it draws its comedy and enjoyment not from success, but from each and every flailing failure and then eventual success. At first the controls are alien and impenetrable, but that feels like the point. In a hilarious opening sequence players are introduced to the controls and the basic premise. Apparently nobody - except the angry chef, who we’ll get to - has noticed that Octodad is in fact an octopus masquerading as a man. You’ll not be left wanting those two hours of your life back, but you will be wondering how you so quickly went from laughing to sighing to finally rolling your eyes in boredom and frustration.ĭadliest Catch begins in the most surreal way with the titular character preparing for his wedding, to a human female. It’s a grace then that it only lasts around two hours. What begins as an absurd, colourful cartoon romp eventually devolves into the most tedious of tired videogame conventions.
