Chicory transborda criatividade e carisma na sua proposta de ser meio que um sandbox de colorir com gameplay dos zeldas clássicos. Eu me realmente fui comprado rapidamente logo no inicio do jogo, mas eu sinto que ele as vezes foi ficando meio monotono na sua jogabilidade mesmo com os diversos upgrades que ajudam na exploração, a história também, apesar de competente, eu sinto que ela não chega em um algum ponto mais profundo, é decente, mas nada de muito espetacular ou que me fez ficar impressionado. A trilha sonora eu gostei bastante, principalmente da parte meio jogo de ritmo na montanha, onde ela encontra o seu apice nesse quesito.
No fim das contas, é uma experiência bem diferente da maioria dos indies, pois ele realmente tenta trazer um elemento que eu acho que nunca tinha visto em um jogo, que é esse de colorir a vontade enquanto se joga.

Overall, a decent little indie title with cute characters and a nice story that deals with imposter syndrome. However, the black and white aesthetic is tough on the eyes and coloring everything doesn't help all that much. The zelda/over-top perspective of the game also becomes an issue when the game demands you start platforming and makes some of the traversing aggravating. The controls mixed with the boss battles, especially with a controller, were also a bit annoying. I wanted to like this more than I did, but here we are. Reading some of the other reviews, I wonder if I was playing the same game?

Dk why but i also dropped it 😭

una grata sorpresa con un final increible, las peleas de jefe me encantaron, recomiendo jugar el juego en los tiempos libres o para desestresarse, me duro unas 8hs de juego

Took the art school really seriously and adored the one and only minigame where it’s suddenly OSU

knew this was leaving game pass so i had intended to spread it out over the remaining days of the month with plenty of time to spare. ended up playing this over two days in bigger binge sessions instead. i really enjoyed myself.

didn't know a ton about this going in other than the charming artwork. i had assumed this was going to be an RPG (a turned based one at that) with more focus on combat and the other elements that come with it than the puzzle adventure game with light combat that this turned out to be. what i ended up with is more to my tastes most of the time so it worked out for the better.

cannot stress enough how taken i was with this for its duration. loved the universe with the characters within, visuals/colors, music, and even the combat was better than i had expected when it showed. i could see where this might be a bit repetitive but it also probably didn't help that i played through this the way i did.

i've been drifting away from going for 100% in most games but i'm really glad i did here. some of the stuff could be taken or left (the litter?) but pretty much everything else felt essential. the mystery side diversion with the cameo from Frog Detective and general Ace Attorney elements was so wonderful.

i would've gotten to this eventually but i want to give thanks to @Wollom for suggesting this in my you choose, i play list. the mixture of that and it leaving game pass brought me to it earlier than i would've otherwise.

looking forward to my eventual replay.
