Chicory: A Colorful Tale

Man what a great game. I was blown away by the amount of variety and the clever level design that the game has. Its got a nice and simple but well written story, although one part near the end I think was a bit too cheesy and kind of came out of the blue (heh, literally). Fortunately I don't hate fun so it doesn't really bother me. I'm sure a lot of people are here because of Lena Raine's work on the soundtrack and DAMN it does NOT disappoint. What else: the games got really good self pacing. Allows you to take your time if you'd like, or if you're lame you could blitz through the game and still have a good experience probably. I did actually find myself clipping out of bounds on ACCIDENT, and there were a few weird visual bugs with the MC's movement, but nothing game breaking... well I guess not but it was kind of funny. Uh yeah great game for sure worth your time

So this game was not at all what I expected, but I mean this in a good way. I was kinda thinking this would play like a classic family style adventure game with not too much ingenuity, but still be a playful explorative journey with simple gameplay and a colorful art style. But to my surprise this game actually contained a really in-depth story with heavy themes, and it also supplemented that with gameplay concepts that were intriguing and satisfying. I don't want to mention too much on the story because I want you to experience it for yourself, but I will say that the story went way further then I anticipated it would and it touched on themes that I wasn't expecting for a game I just grabbed on sale after looking at the cover art. The main thing I want to get at here is the fact that this game has an incredibly well though out story that is much better than I thought it would be, and it definitely gives this game the life it needs. Before playing this game I would have never thought that drawing could be used for gameplay purposes, but this game certainly proved me wrong. The way this game plays with the idea of using drawing in the gameplay is incredible as each new section brings forward a wholly new way to seamlessly blend drawing with the gameplay, and it makes for such a satisfying experience. Even if you aren't an artist, you can still enjoy this game for the way you use drawing to interact with the environment. But on the flipside, this game also lets the players inner artist come alive as you are given infinite opportunities to create something beautiful in literally any corner of the world. This game just gives you the freedom to draw all over the place, and you can either use that to just go wild or meticulously craft something beautiful. Drawing video games to me have always just felt geared toward one specific audience, but this game shows that it doesn't have to be this way. It gives every type of player a fun experience with its compelling story, its seamless integration of drawing into the gameplay, and its freedom to draw whatever your heart desires. Its a game that revolves around drawing, yet it still manages to do all the right things while keeping its major drawing mechanic at the forefront.

Chill, fun game that suck me in I should have painted more of the world, but man oh man do i like the ost and the little story the game give you Time to paint the world now :3
