Even after playing for two and a half hours I still couldn't accurately control Octodad's movement, which is fully intentional on the part of the controls. If you aren't pressing a button for either of your legs then you control your right arm by default with dual analog controls, allowing you to move freely in all three dimensions.

It's fun to interact with the family as they effortlessly decipher Octodad's barely comprehensible noises into meaningful speech. He has managed to marry the love of his life and father two relatively well-rounded children, all while being an octopus quite obviously pretending to be a person. The idea of playing as an octopus trying to haphazardly imitate a human is certainly intriguing, but does it have lasting appeal? The latest such game to release is Octodad: Dadliest Catch, which was previously only released for PC. While the debate about whether or not Indie titles should count in inane list wars rages on around the internet, the PS4 has continued to pump out downloadable titles in an otherwise slower season for video game releases.
