Throughout the game, players will have to learn to work with Monster (and other characters the player will run into) in order to complete puzzles. Monster is an aptly-named, hulking pink beast with razor-sharp teeth. In Papo & Yo, the player is Quico, a young boy who, along with his friend, Monster, solves puzzles in a surrealistic South American shanty town. When the game releases on August 14, no doubt it will look to some players like nothing more than a simple puzzle platformer. But after going hands-on with it, it’s clear that this game is much, much more. Its unique art style is what caught most people’s attention. The soon-to-release Papo & Yo, from Minority Studios, was one of the most distinctive games shown at this year’s E3.
