Hosted by 44 Bytes.After months of having “You’re a kid now! You’re a squid now!” swirling in my mind, we now discover that another cephalopod mollusc has clung to Wii U with its slimy suckers. © 2023 Hookshot Media, partner of ReedPop.

While these problems are largely forgivable, one particular “stealth” section is much harder to stomach, as many of the objects that are included to help break the line of sight of the biologists that you’re trying to get by don’t seem to work at all. We experienced some issues in the aquarium area named ‘Kelp Forest’, and we also encountered a couple of occasions where some assets that should be present simply failed to appear, forcing us to restart the entire game. Sadly, the new hardware hasn’t prevented a handful of bugs from slipping through. The art style evokes an almost Saturday morning cartoon feel, and while it’s never exactly going to strain your uber-powerful next-gen console, it’s clean and clear, and looks just like it should. Still, there’s plenty of diversity in the environments that you’ll explore, ranging from your local grocery store to a variety of wings in the aforementioned aquarium, as well as this reviewer’s personal highlight: a fishing boat. As such, it’s hard not to feel that a little more variety in the gameplay could have really elevated the experience. Even then, the novelty will wear off by the end of the campaign, which is a particular shame as it only takes a few hours at most to complete. As such, long sessions with the release aren’t exactly recommended, as its best enjoyed in short blasts. A lot of the campaign relies on simple “go here, get this, and bring it back” procedures, which can get tiresome after a while. Unfortunately, there isn’t a whole lot of deviation in the tasks that you’re asked to do. Moreover, you’ll no doubt be laughing your way through, too. While it may sound challenging, by the end of the first level, it all becomes second nature, and you’ll be squelching and squishing your way around in no time. Meanwhile, the DualShock 4’s triggers command one leg apiece. One stick controls the height of your arms, and the other manipulates the direction inwards and outwards. While the game is designed to make you feel the hero’s plight, though, it’s also augmented with a rather reasonable learning curve. For instance, a normal human may not accidentally toss their freshly ground beans into the fridge, but this is a common occurrence for our downtrodden protagonist as he calamitously wobbles from one problem to another. Something as simple as making coffee becomes an incredibly challenging and often hilarious task. The title brings with it intentionally wonky controls that make the most basic of tasks an arduous chore, which serve to heighten the challenges that face the invertebrate every day. Some of the assets in this area include the sparse but entertaining dialogue – Octodad’s ‘voice’ is a particular highlight – as well as the frequent references to film, gaming, and sea life in general. The latter leads to utter pandemonium, of course, which also serves to keep you engaged in the simplistic narrative. You’ll interact with your children, get the groceries, and take a trip to the aquarium. The campaign amounts to little more than the average day in the life of a normal human, albeit a rather busy one. The plot’s minimalistic, but this works marvellously. There is, however, one malicious chef who knows your true identity, and makes it his mission to expose you for what you really are: an ink-spraying creature of the sea. You have to make sure that your family and those around you have no reason to suspect your aquatic origins. You take control of an undercover cephalopod living in the human world. And it sums up the game quite succinctly. That’s the tagline to Octodad: Dadliest Catch, the sequel to Young Horses’ surprise 2010 splash hit Octodad.
