Great Promo. THE END

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a game about controlling an octopus that tries to blend in to human life. The game comes from a collage game called Octodad (Duh). The game is really creative as how an octopus is trying to blend in and do basic tasks a human would do...But after the 3rd level of the game Octodad: Dadliest Catch starts demanding you to be stealthy and avoid this and that. Then the game loses itself under generic, bland, and unoriginal stealth missions. Yet is the game still good. Well lets find out

The story (Warning Spoilers)
The story of Octodad is kept simple for the most part. You are an octopus that raises a family and tries to blend in to human tasks. Yet after going shopping Scarlet (his wife) takes him and the kids (Tommy and stacy) to the aquarium. Of course this is when the game loses its charm. Of course since he's an octopus he has a fear of the aquarium. Then after being tricked by the chef in the first game by making a mannequin of Scarlet he is thrown into the aquarium where Octodad thinks about how he met Scarlet (For unknown reasons) The chef finds where his family is and begins to tell them his secret. Octodad comes to the cafeteria where they really know how Octodad really was an octopus. The Chef tries to kill the octopus yet fails in an attempt. Octodad forgives the chef for his wrong doing. Tommy and stacy then ask where they came from and it ends with them having a laugh. So do you notice my problem with this game yet? No? Well lets get to the gameplay.

The Gameplay
The gameplay is completely mouse based. The controls are simple use mouse1 to move your left leg and mouse 2 to use your right leg. The first couple of levels are fine because your an octopus trying to go shopping, making lunch, housecare, and attending your wedding. Yet once we get to the aquarium...the game forgets its purpose. Thats the big stain on this suit. The game becomes a stealth game...a bad stealth game. Levels 4-10 are basically Hide from this and all this complicated garbage that it makes you get sick of it. Also other flaws are how short the game is. I beat the game in a good 2 hours. There isn't even much replayability to this game though. I loved the original. So what happened with the sequel?

The Verdict
Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a small yet enjoyable game. But the stealth, the length ruins all of it. The game ends right when it picks up. The game is still fun and you will still enjoy it with fun and rage once your done.

Steamworld dig is accourding to most people the next "Must-have" Game on the 3ds and Steam but is it really true well let's begin with the story of the game.

WARNING: Spoiler alert!
The story is about a robot named Rusty coming to a town named Tumbleton when he falls into his uncle's mine. When he falls into the mine he runs into dorothy which after a brief conversation he goes to find his father when he finds out that his uncle died in the mine so you "borrow" his pickaxe to find out what he was up to. Then after a while he falls into the second section of the mine known as Old world a nuclear plant section. Then later you reach vectron a electronic generator underground where after mining a bit ou reach the final boss of the game known as the Voltbot who plans on taking over the world making voltbots the dominant species on the planet. After destroying the voltbot the mine collapses on you and you end up dying in the mine. Then the townspeople build a statue of Rusty and then the credits roll...ok I know what your thinking why didn't I mention the townspeople well because all they really do in the game is give you upgrades to your tools.

The Gameplay:
The gameplay is a mix of Metroid and Minecraft. But what do you do in steamworld dig you mine then sell your ore then go back to the mine then sell and so on. It doesn't sound like much but it's a really addicting game. Like Minecraft the main goal is to well Mine. Like Metroid the game is setup like a maze except you make the path But when you leave the cave it doesn't reset so you need to think out a move before you do it. But there is one major flaw it ends too soon just when your used to everything the game ends with the only boss in the game the voltbot also it takes around 5-6 hours to beat give or take. Yet this is also the best thing in the game too because when you beat the game it posts your score so it makes you destined to come back to beat your last score. Also there's another flaw which are the side characters they just don't do anything but upgrade your tools.

The Verdict:
Steamworld dig is one of those masterpieces that comes around every once in a while where a game is so good you always remember the experience you had playing the game. This game is a must have game in anyone's steam library. The game is $9.99 and that is a great price so this game gets a 9.5 out of 10.

Pros:
+ Great story
+ Addictive Gameplay
+ Amazing replay value
+ Great visuals and soundtrack

Cons:
- Side characters
- Length
