It's outrageous, and it's endlessly funny. Even after mastering the controls, Octodad moves with the grace of an inflatable tube man, knocking down vases – there are a lot of vases in this church – and generally smacking things the player doesn't intend to smack. On PS4, players control Octodad's movements by switching between his arms and his legs with the left bumper, and then holding the appropriate trigger and scooting his appendages in the desired direction with the analog sticks. It's difficult to frown while playing Dadliest Catch, especially as Octodad makes his way to the dance floor, crushing the cake, flipping over tables and knocking down all of the presents. There are two layers of gameplay in Dadliest Catch: Completing the tasks set forth on the screen, and simply walking around and destroying the environment in a haphazard, maniacal fashion. Octodad must avoid the goo balls, retrieve the ring and finally make his happily-ever-after a reality. When he finally lurches to the chapel doors, his wife's guests – his wife and her acquaintances are all human, it should be noted – glare globs of goo at him. ( Of course Octodad wears a bowtie and top hat to his wedding. He must find certain objects and complete tasks to make himself presentable: find keys for doors, collect neck ties, and put on his bowtie and hat. Ocotodad: Dadliest Catch features our boneless hero as he prepares for his wedding.

It was a surprise for fans of the first Octodad, a free PC game that Young Horses launched in 2010 to a strange brand of public acclaim (and confusion).Īs I played through the Dadliest Catch demo on the PS4 at E3, one thing became apparent: Just because Octodad had pressed his suit for major-console gaming, he was still an ambulatory-impaired octopus – and that will always be hilarious.

Still, Sony featured Dadliest Catch during its E3 press conference, alongside a selection of indie games coming to PlayStation 4.

As a physics game about an Octopus father navigating domestic life on land, it has more than enough madness on its own. Octodad: Dadliest Catch doesn't need wild marketing antics.
