Unfortunately, Papo & Yo suffers from a mess of technical shortcomings and problems that do impair progress and overall enjoyment of the game. Little details - like losing a shoe or even finding stray soccer balls to kick around - give the game more personality and a genuine sense of change.įinally, the minimal controls are friendly to gamers at any experience level, creating a prime opportunity for players to focus on the story as much as the gameplay. You can even use Monster’s giant belly as a trampoline when he’s sleeping.
Small, box-like houses will sprout legs and wobble away to cartoony sound effects, and your chipper toy robot Lula boosts your jump with its jetpack.
You can pick up the fat frogs and splatter them on the wall, causing them to vanish. The city itself resembles a living creature with humor and charm for its flesh and blood. Each one is as distinct as the colorful graffiti strewn across the city walls. Like the architecture, the game twists on itself at every corner, and no puzzle feels the same. The game’s five to seven hours of puzzles are short and relatively easy, but their simplicity doesn’t make them any less enjoyable. Exit this screen and you can run around wearing it for as long as you like. Quico puts one on his head, revealing a series of helpful child’s drawings on each of the inner sides. If players get stuck, the hint boxes located in convenient spots are a fun way of setting them on track again without spoiling the full experience. It also takes the time to develop a complicated relationship between Quico and Monster through different visual narratives and scenes. Papo & Yo relies heavily on visuals to tell its story and emotionally invest players, and that means the game uses cues in the environment to point them in the right direction.
