Conceptually it’s a game that forces players to look at their play environment in a different manner. Rain, Shelter, Papo & Yo and now Contrast it has been a good year for serious gamers indeed.Ĭontrast feels remarkably like Rain, both in concept and theme. This is a deeply intelligent game, and yet another example of a wonderfully emerging class of games that maintain artistic credibility while also offering genuine production values. That changed about three minutes after I started playing. The epic journey of Quico and Monster that comprises Papo & Yo leaves a long-lasting impression well after its conclusion.Until I played Contrast I wasn’t interested in it. Papo & Yo will take you on an emotional journey that explores the relationship between two friends.Ī powerful narrative, imaginative puzzles, and strong presentation combined in Papo & Yo to result in one of the best gaming experiences. Think of strategic ways on how to use Monster’s emotions, both good and bad, to their advantage in order to accomplish the quest for finding a cure and save their pal.

The story is set in an unspecified Brazilian favela which the player has to guide and control a young Brazilian boy named Quico together with his sometimes-scary best friend, Monster, whom reacts differently to their actions based on his current desires – for instance, if Monster is hungry and happens to eat a poisonous frog, he transforms into a terrifying killing machine with intense rage where no one, including Quico, is safe. Papo & Yo is a fantasy adventure video game developed by Minority.
