This game has almost no flaws in my opinion. The flaws are there, but they aren't flaws that would affect my personal opinion. The game plays out fast, furious, and very very violent. Seriously, if there is only one game that I wouldn't allow a child of mine to play (because of violence) it would be this one. While the game is exactly what I like in my video games, the reason I play it repeatedly is the music. It just adds so much to this game. It makes a fast paced game feel so much more intense that it should. It makes the aftermath of your carnage feel so much more emotional. Seriously, the genius decision of making you walk out of the current level through all of the mutilated bodies you left behind... as your heart is slowing down from the intensity of the challenge you just faced and you hear that music. What you have done actually weighs on your heart. Never have I played a game where the music enhances what I feel to such an extent.
This was definitely a good experience. Pros: - Looks great, very colorful and smooth animation as octodad wiggles around. - Good voice acting and funny dialog. Alot of indie game references as well that I found amusing. - Fun game play. Frustrating is the intention, just have fun with it. Cons: - Short. I beat it in less than 2 hours. I will go back and try to beat the challenged times on each level, as well as find all of the hidden neck ties. But if you aren't into getting extras, this game will be done in about 2 hours. - Near the end of the game there is a section where you cannot be seen by people at all. One part in particular was poorly designed. Overall the gameplay had few flaws though. The original octodad game is available for download for free. Try that if you just want an idea of the gameplay. I would recommend getting this game though, it's very well done.
