Papo & Yo Review
"In the industry we have giants such as Sid Meier and Peter Molyneux, and auteurs like David Cage and Ken Levine. But none of them tell distinctly personal stories. At least, it’s not obvious that they’ve drawn upon experiences, even traumas, of their past and told this story through the medium of videogame. In fact, given that the industry is perhaps more collectively minded than other creative industries, crafting personal stories could be difficult with other visions acting as part of a collective whole. That’s what makes Papo & Yo so special. It’s a magical realist story based on designer Vander Cabellero’s childhood with an alcoholic and abusive father."
