15. Papo & Yo
The story of Papo & Yo concerns a young child named Quico who has run away from his abusive father. Quico enters an imaginary world that resembles the slums of his city, but it's one that has a dreamlike magical-realism quality to it. Its almost breathtaking to simply watch someone play Papo and manipulate the environment. And all of thats even before we get to the Monster, a friendly NPC who helps Quico out during his adventures. However, there are green frogs throughout the world that if the Monster eats, he turns into a raging beast that will hurt anything around him (including Quico). Papop & Yo might sound like some ham-fisted lecture about the collateral damage of alcohol abuse, but thats because like Journey written description will never do something like it justice. Its just one of those games you should experience. Youll have a reaction to it. It might be one of joy or disgust, but itll be a memorable experience.
