Though not as poignant as Wandersong, Chicory carries the same emotional core with more engaging zelda-like gameplay and a story about what it means to believe in yourself. Like it's older sibling, Chicory's main strength is in it's ability to deliver on it's writing. NPCs are genuinely exciting to talk to and I would revisit locations just to see what they were up to and what words of encouragement they would give me next. I didn't care much for the story at first as it really seemed to deal with the struggle of being an artist, something I can't exactly relate to so I felt as if I wasn'tthe target audience. However, during the last few chapters of the game I found myself getting invested in Pizza and Chicory's struggles to find meaning in their lives as wielders and defining what it means to be one. It managed to get a few tears out of me due to how personal some of the dialogue between the two got. If you don't get anything out of playing this, you need to let yourself be happy.
