Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a charming little adventure game where you play as a dog who takes over a magic brush and brings color back into a black-and-white world. You explore different regions, solve small puzzles, and gradually unlock new abilities that let you reach new areas or revisit old ones in fresh ways. The game is super cute and very relaxing, with a lovely campaign that never feels stressful. …

it perfectly depicts what it’s like being a beginner/amateur artist and then the depression/jadedness that comes with being an experienced artist. Both feel as if they’ll never be good enough and always compare themselves to other people. As someone who's been an artist for years, It hit really close to home for me, I found myself relating hard to the main character you play as and Chicory herself during their …

10/10, pure videogame magic. I loved every second of this. I also found the story about self-doubt, perfectionism and creativity to be very relatable and moving. One of the rare cases where the story is in perfect sync with the gameplay and both elements are always complementing each other. Special shoutout to Lena Raine's stellar score, composing another classic after Celeste. This game exceeded all of my …

this game is great for those who want something out of life but feel like they'll never be enough and thus never deserve to be happy.

Wandersong is a great game about a friendly bard doing their best, Chicory is an all time fave where you use a paintbrush to color the world, and Beastieball is an excellent hybrid of volleyball and RPG’s.
