Octodad for ps4 download

The mission Silent But Dadly is perhaps the most altered, with a couple of sequences that play quite differently on PS4 compared to PC. The result is a level with more gameplay - and more chaos - but it's arguable whether the redux is actually superior to the original.

Thankfully both versions are good fun. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish there were crazy side-missions! It's great to see Young Horses revisiting Dadliest Catch in such a significant way before releasing it on PS4, but I can't help but think the team is still missing the most obvious way to improve the game as a whole. More content is appreciated, but what I'd like to see is different content, such as optional challenges that really ramp up the difficulty and take the gameplay to its logical conclusion.

Octodad as a whole isn't meant to be hard, which is why - even with some extra objectives - you can breeze through it so quickly, so why not add in some crazy scenarios that completionists can get stuck into once they've finished the story?

As it stands, there are ties hidden in each level for players to seek out, plus the option to play through the game controlling Octodad cooperatively with up to three friends, which is an inspired inclusion.

Those of you that own Move controllers and a PS4 camera can also test out the Move functionality, which is reasonable enough. Moving Octodad's snaking arm about with the Move is certainly a good fit, and this is combined with the standard control scheme of using twin analogue sticks and triggers to walk, so it's not a difficult adjustment. Some challenges are made significantly harder with the Move, but it's fun to play around with nonetheless. One last thing that's worth noting - Dadliest Catch doesn't always feel hugely optimised for PS4.

It runs well for the most part, but I definitely noticed the odd frame rate drops - most noticeably in the aforementioned Sea Legs mission. Have you played Octodad: Dadliest Catch? Octodad: Dadliest Catch. By Cam Shea Posted: 24 Apr am.
