He does have a dark side however: he’s addicted to colorful frogs. He can be led with food, and when sated will fall asleep allowing his stomach to be used as a trampoline. Monster is docile enough normally, but apathetic. His father is also represented as a giant, pink monster. Quico escapes into a fantasy world where the ramshackle shacks of the slums near his home become playthings, his toy robot protector Lula comes to life and a mysterious girl appears to help guide him. The game begins with Quico, a young boy, hiding from his violently abusive father.
Any screen shot of the game will tell you instantly that Papo and Yo is far from a beautiful game, but is it meaningful? It can be beautiful but vacuous, ugly but meaningful and any other combination that you can imagine. Games can definitely be art, something I’ve discussed before. Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 years and older, Reviewed on PS3, Papo and Yo at
