   Short & Sweet : Tired of the typical run and gun COD game? Looking for something with more emotional depth than your average puzzle platformer? Me too. That's where unique games like Papo and Yo fit into the picture. It's a beautiful game that touches on serious subjects in a very creative way. Without spoiling too much, I can say that the game succeeds in it's aims at touching the player on an emotional level, while also engaging them to explore a dream-like world through the cleverly used mechanics of a child's games. This is a one of a kind experience. I hope you'll give it a try.… Expand

   I rated Papo & Yo an 8. It's a deeply personal narrative, charming setting, full of character, hampered only by it's technical issues. At just a few hours long, I completed the game in one sitting, how I believe the game would be most enjoyed.
   It delves deeply into 'games as art', the narrative and story itself being at the forefront of the experience, if you're looking for a genuinely compelling tale then you should definitely check this title out.
   There are various technical issues I came across, including an unstable framerate, moderate screen tearing in places, 2 separate bugs that forced me to repeat a section in order to proceed, and other general 'jank'. If you're a person who can overlook such flaws and see the vision which the creator is trying to have us experience, then I implore you to buy this game.
   The story is poignant, the game is full of personal touches, and the soundtrack is simply outstanding.
   It's most certainly a flawed gem!… Expand

   It is a great game. If you have some spare time and don't know what to do, then Papo & Yo will perfectly fill the gap between afternoon and evening. Some fresh mechanics will bring a smile to your face, unique narrative provides nostalgia and your childhood memories with childish fantasy comes back immediately. From time to time, outstanding acoustic music is so perfect, that you just sit and listen to it very, very loud. It really is a great peace of work... but definitely it is not a good puzzle game. It's more like a mixture of platform and simple logic games. Unfortunately, you don't even have to think. Everything is clear just after you enter the new level. That's why I rated Papo & Yo 5. It has very good narrative, music and story, but, in terms of a GAME itself, it really lacks very, very much.… Expand
