I don't have too much to say about Chicory. It's a short and cute game about using your magical paintbrush to color the world back in and to help defeat the corruption plaguing the world. The relationships between the characters are very wholesome, and the game gives off a very positive vibe about overcoming one's impostor syndrome. The puzzles are pretty well constructed, but got a bit repetitive by the end. I played this game on PS5, which heavily utilizes the touchpad in a clever, yet carpal tunnel-inducing way. There are a lot of characters to talk to in the game, but by the second half I never felt inclined to really interact with anyone, nor did I feel the need to continue grabbing the many, many different costume options. It's an average game, and considering I got it for free I think it was worth my time, but it never really blew me away.
