If you are looking for something wildly different and ridiculously fun to add to your library of PC games, Octogeddon is an absolute blast. Created by the mastermind behind Plants vs. Zombies, this title completely flips the script by letting you play as the ultimate arcade monster. Instead of saving the world, your only goal is to completely destroy it. It is the perfect game to fire up on your desktop when you just want to blow off some steam, offering a hilarious mix of pure chaos and strategy that will easily keep you hooked from the very first level.
Storyline
The plot is exactly as silly and amazing as it sounds. You step into the tentacles of a massive, incredibly angry octopus who completely snaps after watching an internet video of a chef making octopus sushi. Fueled by pure rage and a thirst for vengeance, you embark on a chaotic global rampage to wipe out humanity and smash iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty. It is a completely over-the-top, B-movie style narrative that does not take itself seriously at all, but it gives you the absolute perfect excuse to cause as much mindless destruction as physically possible.
Gaming Experience
When it comes to the actual gameplay, this is where the crazy "spin-em-up" mechanics really shine. You start with just a couple of basic tentacles, but as you smash through cities and collect coins, you can mutate your arms with wild animal DNA. Suddenly, you are spinning around shooting snake venom, launching explosive chicken eggs, and snapping giant lobster claws to deflect incoming missiles. Booting this up alongside your other favorite PC games guarantees a ridiculously good time, because experimenting with all the weird weapon combinations while juggling frantic boss fights is just flat-out satisfying.
