The first is Lula, a cute yellow robot who hangs on to Quico’s back throughout the game, and serves to help him navigate and solve the puzzles that he encounters throughout his journey. Throughout the game you are accompanied by three characters. Throughout Papo & Yo you play as Quico, a young boy who explores a dream like interpretation of Brazilian styled favelas. It certainly has its problems, but it manages to entertain and engage the player from beginning to end. Yet Papo & Yo handles it beautifully, and crafts an emotionally rewarding experience that deserves to be played. This surprised me, because it is hard to tell a story with such complex themes under the guise of a game with any degree of success. Papo & Yo is a rare game that manages to perfectly represent what it is like to be a child and the effects of substance abuse by those closest to them.
