Indie titles usually don’t get the amount of playtime as my other games do, and it’s very rare that I see one to the end, but Octodad: Dadliest Catch was a fun experience but a flawed one. My first major complaint is the controls, which, I know, they’re supposed to be annoying and that’s what makes it fun. However, there were a few scenarios throughout the game which were just downright frustrating (looking at you aquarium), and the ending was pretty weak. There’s not much to say about Octodad, which is fair as it doesn’t have much to say on its own. Basically, you play as an octopus who has journeyed to the land and gotten married and is now the father of a family of four. Throughout the game, you learn how you came to be on land, and why the evil chef keeps on trying to kill you so much. Octodad is one of the strangest games you’ll play, but I’m very thankful I had the experience.
