Debuting in early 2014, the game is available on Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch for $15. That’s the appeal it’s just funny to play. He really is an octopus masquerading as a human. Octodad also makes weird blubbering noises, which everyone just accepts. You will knock everything over, and you will look ridiculous while you do so, but it’ll be funny to watch. You have to control the different tentacles of the dadapus and navigate the purposely cluttered environment. The main appeal of the game is it uses an absurd physics engine. Apparently, everyone is okay with that, but there are scientists who are trying to capture you. As the title suggests, you play as an octopus dad, but your family is human. But eventually I saw the name pop up enough times I decided to at least watch a trailer or two. I’m going to be honest I judged this game by the title and immediately wrote it off as a ridiculous concept. Octodad: Dadliest CatchĪlmost every list of animal protagonist games included Octodad: Dadliest Catch. With 15 – 40 hours of gameplay and only minor inconveniences, I think the game is worth a try if you’re into this genre. The going rate is $20, but the PlayStation and Nintendo Stores are offering the game at a 35%-40% discount for a limited time. Released in June of last year, Kitaria Fables is available on all current systems. The game seems to be particularly appealing for players that like to spend hours crafting and performing side quests. Players have complained about the slower frame rate on the Nintendo Switch vs PC, but what else is new? There are also a few other quibbles, such as a low carrying capacity, slow running speed and lack of sufficient teleport locations. Many reviewers compare Kitaria Fables to Rune Factory and Stardew Valley, but they claim it slightly misses the mark on both fronts. Kitaria Fables has mixed reviews, but generally higher than average ratings. In Kitaria Fables you play as a kitty who returns home to run the family’s old farm while protecting the town from monsters and generally being a hero type. Kitaria Fables is also a rougelike, farming sim game, but it swaps out the creepy and cultish for cute and cuddly. Be on the lookout for a full review of this game, because I may be joining this title’s cult very soon. Cult of the Lamb is available on Steam, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for $25. You keep your followers fed and happy, and I think their worship fuels you as their leader. You can do weird cultish things like sacrifice dissidents and turn them into food for your followers, or even convince your followers they themselves need to be sacrificed. You spend part of your time slaying enemies and part of your time leading your cult. The game is partially roguelike and partially village town building with some mini games thrown in. You play as a recently sacrificed lamb brought back from the dead to be a cult leader and overthrow the current religious system to free an ancient god…I think. Cult of the Lamb was just released yesterday, and I’m so ready for it. This is a weird one folks, so if you like creepy or occult subject matters, then buckle in. Lost Ember’s gameplay lasts around 4 – 5 hours, and I can imagine some might want to replay it every few years, or however frequently you rewatch an enjoyable movie. Some reviewers have complained about the Nintendo Switch version of the game, so that may be something you want to watch out for. Lost Ember is available for the major four gaming systems at $30. Originally released in October of 2019, the title has good player ratings. The game is highly decorated with over a dozen awards. If this is not a pressing concern for you, and you’re looking to experience a good story, then Lost Ember might be for you. Some players have lamented that this title doesn’t present enough of a challenge for them. The graphics and music are quite beautiful, and the story is moving. You are accompanied by a red glowing sphere, the lost ember. You primarily do this in wolf form, but you also are able to take the form of several other animals to help you navigate the terrain. Lost Ember is an exploration narrative walking simulator game where you search for clues about a past civilization that has vanished from the land. So, today we are looking at more games with animals as protagonists. I found so many great games, I couldn’t fit them all into just one column. During my last column I discussed five games where animals take the center stage.
