\"\"<\/a>When you were little, did you ever have a sticker album?\u00a0 It seemed to be a popular thing when I was a youngster back in the 80s anyway.\u00a0 Not sure if they\u2019d allure today\u2019s technology savvy kids or not, but what if I told you now there\u2019s a game about filling up a sticker album!\u00a0 Because that\u2019s just what you do in Pilo and the Holobook.\u00a0 In the game, you play as Pilo, a little humanoid fox critter who assists a Professor.\u00a0 This Professor has just invented a Holobook.\u00a0 Just point the Holobook at something and it\u2019ll scan it and make a sticker out of it that you can then place in the book and it\u2019ll store info on it like an encyclopedia.\u00a0 So your job as Pilo is to go from planet to planet scanning everything you can to fill up the Holobook.\u00a0 The game is available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

In the game you\u2019ll walk around these beautiful hand drawn top down 2D locations.\u00a0 Hold down the A button to open the Holobook and begin scanning.\u00a0 Point it at nearby objects to scan then and then place the sticker you get into the book.\u00a0 Sometimes you might have to solve a simple switch or map puzzle with the stickers, and some can be placed in certain spots in the book for more points.\u00a0 When you have enough points, you can usually move on to the next area or story section.<\/p>\n

I liked the graphics and creative gameplay ideas, but it had some problems as well that caused me to stop playing after a while.\u00a0 The game is a bit repetitive and tedious, especially since they make you scan things twice later on in the game.\u00a0 And some of the goals and objectives are unclear, which caused me to get \u2018stuck\u2019 so to speak.\u00a0 Just a bit more guidance in that regard would\u2019ve made things a lot better.<\/p>\n
