Octodad is a great example of a game that conveys a message through gameplay. In conjunction with its story, characters, and setting, the controls offer an empathetic look into the life of an extreme outsider trying to fit in and trying to do right by his family...I love that. Gaming is growing up, and Octodad is some of the best evidence of that.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch may be a one-joke game, but the team at Young Horses has taken that joke and squeezed as much hilarity out of it as possible. Don’t ask questions about the man in the suit — just buy the game.

this is the best game if i playing in my hold life, This game captivates me in an inexplicable way that makes me want to play it more and more. Even though it doesn't have the best graphics, the story about an octopus who wants to be the best for his family, showing a story of redemption, speaks to the importance of the octopus's family. Even though the octopus isn't the children's father, he raises them as if he were, and that's what matters to him. 10/10 game.

Young Horses has done an excellent job taking the diamond in the rough that was the original Octodad student project and turning it into a short but charmingly absurdist physics game.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a rare beast, then, because it made me laugh out loud the first moment that I ambled down the aisle to meet my doting bride-to-be.

Octodad oozes charm like a leaky squid. While it’s disappointingly light on content and complexity, the game is sure to light up a room with its humor and whacky control scheme, especially in co-op mode.

Its brevity and reliance on contrived challenges work against Octodad: Deadliest Catch, but when it's at its best, it's a damn hilarious game that'll charm the pants off most players.

A sloppy and surprisingly unimaginative journey through a dreary world. [Apr 2014, p.64]

The fun gave by intended uncomfortable control from a octopus concept, a well-made B-movie story, a cute graphic design, the detail with scripts of NPC and props. It is a good casual game to enjoy. But I recommend to purchase this game with discount. 문어라는 컨셉에 맞춰 의도된 거지같은 조작감이 주는 재미, 잘 만든 B급 감성의 스토리, 아기자기한 그래픽, NPC들의 대사와 소품의 디테일까지 캐쥬얼하게 즐기기엔 이만한 게임이 없다. 하지만 정가 주고 사기엔 애매하다.

Nice game overall, too bad that I've played some demos that had more gameplay time than this title... I finished the game in 1h and 40m, which in my opinion is A SCAM considered the fact that it costs 15$. If it lasted more I would have given it 8 or 9.
