    This game is truly wonderful, from the divers cast of characters to the many different stories and topics that are very relevant nowadays but often not represented enough. i really enjoyed this game from start to finish and was impressed the most by the Undetale-esque boss fights, so cool!

    Chicory is a great indie game with a lot of exploration and puzzles. Gameplay starts like childrens' coloring book but as you play you power up and get new abilities that evolves it to something more. if you are not into taking your time coloring the world beautifully there is an ability that allows you to fill whole area with color.

    The only part I did not like was the boss fights. Considering story was mostly about mental health boss fights made sense but was a bit contradictory to the general relaxing atmosphere of the game.    … Expand

    And this is the new generation, yes, of course. How sorry I was to spend my money on THIS, considering that I also saw the reviews in advance, I regret it.

    Very creative game with a lot to say and artisitic controls. IDK why people are giving it such low numbers

    This game is a gem, haters gonna hate but if you like the sound track of celest and a heartfelt zelda style adventure jump right in. PS if you dive to the bottom of lake Hylia and open up the bottle and pull out the message it says "FPS junkies will never get it"

    Chicory: A Colorful Tale is an okay coloring book with some Zelda-like elements that just fall flat in my opinion. This game offers nothing particularly unique, and without the coloring mechanic, this game would be written off completely. Unfortunately, I don't like to color very much.

The brush is typically used in one or two specific ways per zone to solve various area puzzles. I found the game worked best when traversing through these multiple puzzle based mini zones involved in progressing the main story. My most memorable moment was realizing that a connect the line-based zone puzzle was more complicated than I originally thought. The bosses typically located at the end of these puzzle zones were all bland and mostly unfun. Use of the brush mechanic to fight bosses always devolved into spamming color on the boss to do damage while dodging area hazards until you achieved victory. Outside of these puzzle areas, the game is packed full of mini activities most of which are not very fun. These include furniture collection and decoration, mail delivery, clothes hunting, kid finding, and art school drawing classes. The story itself is forgettable, but the characters that inhabit the world are for the most part interesting and worth interacting with. Although, a few instances with jarring, out of place conversations drawing real world parallelism brought me out of Chicory’s world. Overall, I wish the game used the brush/coloring mechanics in more interesting ways both in the world puzzles and the boss encounters.… Expand

    Groan, why didn’t I read more reviews. Simplistic so alright for children but to compare this to the Zelda franchise is comparing hot dogs and filet mignon. Gave it 5 for effort and recommended for 5-10 year olds that like to colour.

    I really loved this game. So much heart in ever corner. I was worried the painting would be hard with a controller but they did a great job with the controls. I am so glad I played this. I can’t wait to see what Greg Lobanov does next!

    Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a beautiful adventure where it’s your job to splash life back into this colourless world with the help of your magical paintbrush. You may not be the next Van Gogh or Picasso, but you will have a great time exploring what this land has to offer. With an endearing protagonist and a fantastic cast of characters, this experience will make you profoundly rethink art and mental wellness.

    Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a frequent delight. It’s probably one of the better games we’ve played this year. This from an indie. Forget Ratchet and Clank, fun though it is. Chicory is possibly our favourite game this year.

    Chicory: A Colorful Tale is bound to the template set forth by The Legend of Zelda, but, rather than offering reflexive glibness, or inking the affair with irony, its critique wraps warmly around its subject, like a scarf.
