Papo & Yo

WHY THE F AM I EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN THIS? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Papo & Yo. I thought I was going to play a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ video game. Instead, this beautiful bastard walked into my life, punched me directly in the emotional nuts, and left me sitting there staring at the screen wondering what the f just happened. This is easily one of the best games to come out of 2013. Top ten? Fk yes. Top ten of the year, and I will happily fight anyone who wants to argue about it. Because Papo & Yo isn't just another game trying to entertain you with explosions, loot, and some A$$Hole NPC asking you to collect seventeen magical toenails. It's a lyrical tale of a boy and a monster. And somehow, underneath all the surreal environments and strange mechanics, it manages to represent something painfully human. It doesn't just show you a fantasy world. It shows you a world that feels real in all the messy, fckd-up ways that actually matter. That's what makes this game so damn special. The relationship between the boy and the monster isn't just some videogame gimmick. It's complicated. It's beautiful. It's uncomfortable. And sometimes you're sitting there thinking: "Holy $hit... this is way deeper than I signed …

Ever since I played the demo of Papo & Yo on my PS3 when I was around 7 years old, I never understood the true significance this game has to another person. Easily has become one of my favorite games of all time and I am astonished of the experience I had.

Feels more like a demo, one of those humble bundle shovelware. game has a lot of bugs had to restart a few times. Lastly forces you to replay again to 100% colelcting useless hats. not worth it. 100% its wors than i xpcted

Very beautiful but sad game. The gameplay is simple and puzzles are easy but they are fun enough.

Here's another game that I played on PS3 when I was a kid. Looking back now, I feel like the PS3 era was such a special time in the gaming world. Papo & Yo, The Unfinished Swan, Journey, The Cave, Limbo, Flower, Flow, The Last of Us, LittleBigPlanet, Fat Princess, etc. I know these games shaped my interests today. Playstation Home as well, I’d say that counts as a game here. I even remember getting a shirt for my PS Home avatar back in 2011. It was a virtual E3 event and you could get promotional goodies for your avatar by watching game trailers. I watched the trailer, got the shirt, and equipped it. It was a black shirt with one of the frogs from the game clinging to your back. I thought it was the cutest thing and I was so excited for the game to come out. I played it when it came out and without a doubt, it made me very emotional. That was 14 years ago. Here I am 14 years later, playing through the game again. Obviously the game looks a bit dated in some aspects, but overall still very pretty. There’s also that nostalgia factor for me. A big thing for me is that playing this again felt ironic. That’s because when I played it as a kid, I was blissfully ignorant and in my own im…

Quite short and easy, but very beautiful! Could recommend as a calsual game, especially for new gamers
