This game is nothing short of a masterpiece. I don't even know where to begin. the boss battles are some of the most unique and story rich fights that you will ever have, it is dripping with metatastical political and social commentary, the story will make you cry and fill you with hope and reinvigorate your creative soul, there is so much to do and see, the character you play is so customizable, i could write a thesis on the final act it was just so incredible. play it enjoy it love it know it do it do it do it

Chicory is yet another Kickstarter game that looks like a cute coloring book about little animals with food names. And then, of course, it punches you deeply in the feelings. You are a small dog who accidentally gets a magical brush after all color disappears from the world. No pressure, just go and restore everything while also dealing with someone else’s role, legacy, expectations, burnout, inner critic, artistic crisis, and a bunch of very polite NPCs who sometimes say things that are waaaaay too real. The map is not huge, but it is dense: different biomes, palettes, music themes, small mechanics, little side stories. The best way to play it is not to rush. You paint, wander around, talk to everyone, get weirdly attached, and slowly realize this "simple coloring game” is actually having a conversation with you about creativity and perfectionism. My personal boss fight was not even a boss fight. It was leaving uncolored spots on the screen. At first I tried to carefully paint every new area before moving on. Then I got tired even with the fill tool. Then I went full chaos mode. Then I accepted that both versions were probably fine. Suspiciously therapeutic. Also, Lena Raine’s music fits perfectly: gentle, bright, a bit old-fashioned, but not childish. Kind of like the game itself. Recommended if you like cozy games that secretly hurt, coloring books, Celeste-adjacent emotional damage, and slow exploration. BUT not recommended if you want something fast, polished-clean, or mechanically intense.

What initially drew me to Chicory was the idea of a gigantic colouring book, where you can colour the world to your heart's desires. You could easily get through the game by doing the bare minimum, and the game doesn't judge you for it. Not in the mood for art classes? Fine. Only feel like colouring in the trees? Wonderful. The puzzles also provide a fair amount of challenge as you colour the world and bond with the Brush. It's a judgement-free zone that's also giving you a warm hug. What I stayed for, however, is its story about an artist's relationship with their craft and what it means to have and make art. As someone who enjoys drawing but got the confidence and creativity beaten out of them at a young age, Chicory gave me a chance to reclaim some of what I had lost. After approx. 25 hours of playtime, I now feel less terrible about my artistic abilities, and am proud to see how my in-game art has evolved over time too. Of course, there's still work to be done...but progress is still progress, and Chicory blessed me with that. The optional art classes have been especially healing, where I usually spent thirty minutes painstakingly drawing my cat. The brushes and colours you get to work with are limited, and there's a charm to that. With those imposed boundaries, I was forced to shed my perfectionism and just be happy, if not proud, of leaving some kind of artistic mark in that world. Overall, Chicory has a special place in my heart...I truly love this game*, and I'm nowhere near done with it. It is a game about confronting your demons, creating the perfect balance between the wholesomeness of the world and its darker themes...and what better choice to compose the music than Celeste's Lena Raine. This game is absolutely for the ones battling self-doubt and imposter syndrome; the ones itching to create world to really call their own; the ones craving to encounter new, endearing food-named characters; and anything in between. *A slight nitpick: I personally would have liked the boss fights to be a bit more challenging such as maybe using the brush upgrades as combat features. I know it's not entirely the point of the overarching game or narrative...just think it could have slightly elevated the gameplay.

Genuinely one of the most calming yet engaging games i've played. I love the freedom of expression it provides and while I haven't beaten it yet, the story is genuinely so well made. .... Bonus points for being able to draw Chicory with a fat ass.

This game. This game man. Ugh where do i even start. It felt so personal to me with the message of struggling with self confidence and being a perfectionist. Don't get me started on the strict authority figure... geez. Beautiful game, the story is so touching and theres a lot to do in terms of side quests and main quests. I enjoyed the puzzle aspect of it as well, please please play this game if you can.
