What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The ending (no spoilers) perfectly sets up a DLC chapter or even a full sequel, and I’m absolutely here for it.
Visuals look great, but gameplay is very un-fun.
The gameplay makes great use of all his unique abilities: sticking to almost any surface, grabbing objects with your tentacles, dash-swimming against strong currents, shooting ink to blind enemies, camouflaging to blend into the environment, and so on.
Lowering the graphics settings to “low” made it playable, but still not ideal—partly due to lingering stutter, and partly because the game is simply too detailed for a small screen (8 inches on the Lenovo, compared to 7 inches on the Steam Deck).
The sound design fits perfectly with the art style; all the sounds the octopus's body makes are squishy and slimy in a funny way.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
