Destructoid 8/10

Only one review so far got the score correct...and I can't wait to play this game...especially at my friend's place with the Playstation Move Controls.

 

[Whompa]

cant wait to play it!

Only one review so far got the score correct.

I think your math teacher would like a word with you!

Can't wait to CO-op this with my fiance. Gonna be a blast.

 

[Velkyn]

Still no word on the PS4 release?

 

[SkyTurnsRed]

Here's ours! It's a lengthy review, we covered quite a bit.

[EL CUCO]

I shall buy this. Always wanted to be an Octopus in a 3-piece suit.

 

[Savantcore]

I only saw the CVG review and assumed it was like that across the board. Glad to see most people are actually enjoying it.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

wtf happened to this game on the PS4? How come it's coming two months after PC release? Does anyone know why that's the case?

 

[Tohsaka]

Looking forward to the PS4 version, the game looks really fun.

 

[ultron87]

Definitely excited to play this, but the mention of stealth sequences in several of the reviews worries me greatly because combining stealth with silly controls doesn't sound great.

 

[Impossiburu]

They got the kit in, like, the spring of last year. It's probably just too buggy to release.

 

[notoriousKTR]

Tedious controls...really CVG, really? That's kinda the whole point.

 

[5amshift]

Amped for the game! Been on my watch after knowing it was coming to PS4.

Good video.

This game looks great.

If I were to venture a guess.

They had the PC ver finished and they are still working on PS4 ver.

Given that Sony doesn't have a parity clause, they decided to release the PC ver to start getting income for the PS4 ver.

 

[Fushichou187]

The panning some reviewers give because of the controls doesn't really surprise me. Kotaku's review is right to point out that Octodad really is a two-joke game: You're an octopus and You're terrible at this game. If those two things sound like fun, jump on in.

Loved the original. Can't wait for this to hit PS4.

 

[Emerson]

Enjoying the game so far. Disappointed it's short but at least it's got the Workshop stuff.

That CVG review is honestly one of the worst game reviews I've ever read. The author so thoroughly missed the point that it's comical.

 

[chrominance]

cant wait to play it!

God yes. I have about 8 hours played with the title, and I never once thought it was "unbearable" due to the control scheme. Isn't that the entire point?

My favorite part is the one about the objectives being so mundane, and then saying "maybe it's supposed to be part of the joke." Of course it fucking is.

 

[Bedameister]

How long is the game? Any words on that in some of the reviews?

 

[RedAssedApe]

hehe the people who complain about the "shitty" controls

 

[Impossiburu]

Took me around 2 hours, though there's stuff to find that could extend that. Also dev times to beat.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Definitely gonna pick up the PC version when the next Steam sale hits.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

hehe the people who complain about the "shitty" controls

Yeah fuckin' nuts, that's the point of the game and where the fun comes from. Like how do you even write a first paragraph of a review without even realizing that.

 

[Dragonborn]

Gonna wait for the PS4 version

 

[Danneee]

A stealth segment? Really?
I'll wait for the inevitable sale then.

 

[bigboss370]

can't wait for PS4 version!

 

[CrackPebbles]

Oh cool soon enough ill have an excuse to turn on my ps4!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Just bought it on Steam. Currently in an endless run in Orcs 2 but ready to play this as soon as done.

 

[FaintColt388301]

Wasn't it said that they are running low on funds and wanted to go ahead and get this version out for now

 

[MDSLKTR]

wtf happened to this game on the PS4? How come it's coming two months after PC release? Does anyone know why that's the case?

Because the pc crowd kickstarted the game in the first place.

 

[FaintColt388301]

Sorry March is still a ways off, ya'll. We're doing our best to get it out the door ASAP.

We'd been working on the PC release long before we hooked up with Sony, and we promised it to Kickstarter backers first.

Truth is that we're running out of money to pay rent, eat food, and those sorts of things so we wanted to get it out on PC first to give ourselves some cushion to finish the PS4 version.

Hope you enjoyed the trailer!

[viveks86]

Like the reviews so far. Sounds like a cool party game! It was quite obvious that it wasn't going to be unanimously praised.

That was the plan all along. They wanted to get the PC version out first and focus on PS4 development. The said it in an interview a couple of months ago.

 

[jayu26]

Wow, this is all over the place.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

woah. scores were...unexpected.

 

[Sub_Level]

This game is being octoficially hyped by some media outlets.

Sounds about right.

 

[Draft]

Second half of the game sounds like a mess.

 

[mollipen]

EGM - 9/10

 

[B.O.O.M]

Seriously..I mean why can't an Octopus walk better!

 

[ArkkAngel007]

This game is being octoficially hyped by some media outlets.

Have to agree with this. I won't deny it being a fun game, but some people are making it out to be more than it is, like Surgeon Simulator. I guess that's ok though to a lot of people since it isn't a AAA game.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

$15 for a two hour game? I just don't think I can justify that. $10 seems a bit more appropriate..

 

[pswii60]

I just don't get the appeal of this at all. Played it at the EG Expo last year. But I feel alone.
