Chicory: A Colorful Tale Reviews

This is a really cute game. How the game functions with controlling the character and using your mouse for the brush is really fun. Would love a soulslike game with this controls. The 100% completion is really hard without a guide but I came really far without.

One of the best plots of any videogame I've played this year. This game is a real one, above and beyond what I expected. Avoid spoilers, it's worth being surprised.

shoutout to a game with painting as a main mechanic (i cannot draw good stuff for the love of god) (this game) for making me cry (js a little bit frfr) (a lot actually)

Really cute game! I loved the writing, all of the fun characters you meet, the creative mechanics and cool art style. Painting the world around you is lots of fun and the parts where you get to paint your own artworks are great

This is such an amazing delightful game. It's hard to explain the emotions it gave me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Thank you so much. Everyone should play this game.

Absolutely incredible. I am not an artist so I felt like this might be difficult for me to enjoy but I wanted to support the developers. The game was so engaging, the characterisation was astounding and the puzzles were all incredibly well designed. Wishes Ultd are incredible and I can't wait to see everything they do.

Very charming no-fail game with the good feels (and sometimes the bad feels!) It's a very fun game that lets you squeeze out all your creativity on one gigantic map! The gameplay is similar to classic 2D Zelda, where you solve puzzles to progress. The characters are all sweet and funny, but taken seriously when needed! I highly recommend this title, it's worth every single penny (and drop of paint!)

[b] Entirely overrated. [/b] While the music and art are generally very good, everything else about this game quickly becomes so tedious and boring. From the simple puzzles, general map traversal, to the large blank white screens, the monotony of it all was so degrading I could hardly stomach more than 1 chapter per session -- and yes, I understand the game WANTS me to paint everything, but as a player you have to decide whether or not it is even worth your time or energy. Painting things (the main thing you do) can be very finicky as you are not given much precision. Likewise, you are given a limited color pallet (4 colors), which in theory COULD work but please explain why we need 2 shades of essentially the same color depending on the region. I feel like holding the color swap button for a color wheel with more than 4 colors would have made leagues more sense and allowed more creative freedom especially with how I want to paint my world. Let's not forget the story of Chicory: it's just fine. The rabbit Chicory is the central focus of the plot even though you play as a janitor dog who has the oddest infatuation with Chicory that'll make you want to consider filing a restraining order against them. Now, the themes within the story that Chicory attempts to portray are so trivial to their actual complexity. Essentially, in this world all of your mental health problems can be fixed with a conversation and a hug; shower your friends with support that "YOU ARE THERE FOR THEM!" Chapters usually end with a boss fight and I'm really puzzled as to why they are even included. There is no challenge to these fights, they have checkpoints constantly and there is even an option to skip them. Why even have these? My obvious cynicism aside, I do think Chicory might resonate with other people more so than it did for me. I highly suggest you watch some videos or read more reviews to truly get a sense if this is for you. For me, I think I'd rather play something else, something with more depth than this shallow roller tray.

this might kust be the coziest and most, like, wholesome thing i've ever paid for if you read this you really should get this game into your library

very artsy game. good story, good characters. 10/10
