[Update]: Octodad: Dadliest Catch On PS4 Delayed
The PS4 version of Young Horses' Octodad: Dadliest Catch, where gamers must control an octopus masquerading as a normal person, is being pushed back.
While the developer says that there never was a defined release date, the PS4 version was previously expected in March.
The game is already out on PC, and you can also take a look at Miller's review of that version.
April is the PS4 goal. There was never a definite date, or delay. Also, considering Xbox One means we thought about it in our brains. #news

Update: Young Horses has reiterated that Octodad: Dadliest Catch's April release date doesn't constitute a delay because it never had a "firm date," but going by an earlier tweet from the dev, at one point there was some expectation of March. Either way, fans won't have to wait long for the game on PS4.
@TheWineman Right now we’re planning for a March release. But really it’s just as soon as we can finish it up.

Our Take:
It's good the developer wants to give the game as much time as it can, but judging by Miller's review, I doubt it's going to solve some of his qualms.
