One scene in particular did achieve that elusive tear rolling down my cheek as it played out. The game hints at a message bigger than itself at the end of each of its 5 chapters, never defining anything outright, instead allowing you to connect the dots in your mind. These moments where the fantasy and real world collide are heart wrenching, emotional and expertly constructed. Without going into too many spoilers, the main story arc in Papo & Yo is full fantasy on the surface, with real social and personal issues bubbling under throughout.

He soon encounters Monster, a huge beast of a creature who's an unknown entity for both Quico and the player.

Symbolism, metaphor and transient dream sequences make up most of the narrative in Papo & Yo, dropped into an unknown world as young boy Quico who is left to work out the true meaning of the events that unfold. This escape is Papo & Yo, a young boy's vision of his life and one of the few PSN games that will make you cry. A story that tells of how a single vice in life can affect those closest to you, the monster within being so full of hatred and anger that escape is the only option for those on he receiving end. How about a story that tells of a toxic relationship, where things change from playful and loving to abusive and violent without the innocent party having time to react.

Of course everyone is different, some may see crying in marvel as Master Chief saves the world in Halo is strange, while some may not feel the same emotional connection with characters in Mass Effect that brings players to tears when they reach their end. Can a video game make you cry? It's a question that is asked in so many opinion pieces on the net, the answer usually being yes.
