It's one of those games that uses abstract storytelling and symbolism to tell a mature and emotional tale. While it doesn't have the gameplay strength those titles have it does have the emotional depth they do. However gameplay and presentation deficiencies keep from being able to stand next to the likes of ICO and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.
But if you're looking for "art games" you'll want to check this one out. To conclude even if I deeply enjoyed the game I can not rate Papo & Yo over 7 due to its extremely short length and the fact that some of you may not care at all about the story for the exact same reasons than I loved it. Now let's talk about what hurts, the length of game, count only 2 hours in a half to finish it, with very small replay value (you would probably remember every puzzle as they are not tough), even for 15€/$ it's not enough in my book. Technically this is a good game, for small studio, good PS3 graphics (again for an indie game) and no important bugs, the controls are responsive, there is nothing exceptional here but also nothing harming the experience. Papo & Yo is another one of those examples that proves that videogames can be a medium for art, with its own personal story transmitting so many messages in a lovely universe supported by excellent music, there is no objective point to criticize the design of this game, but like every form of art your appreciation of its message will be very personal and therefore you may not like it at all.

Players will need to learn to use Monster’s emotions, both good and bad, to their advantage if they want to complete their search for a cure and save their pal.I played this game thanks to the PS+ subscription but I'll be reviewing it like if i paid its full price as it is no longer free to download. And yet, Quico loves his Monster and wants to save him.As Quico, players will build their friendship with Monster by solving puzzles together and adventuring through a magical, surrealist world. The minute he sees one hop by, he’ll scarf it down and fly into a violent, frog-induced rage where no one, including Quico, is safe. That said, Monster does have a very dangerous problem: an addiction to poisonous frogs. Quico’s best friend, Monster, is a huge beast with razor-sharp teeth, but that doesn’t scare Quico away from playing with him.
