This is emotional, captivating, has a great story, fun side quests, and lets you be creative without needing actual artistic ability (thank god).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
121 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But yeah, from everything above, to smaller yet thoughtful features like being able to "call home" for help when you're stuck or settings that help its players be as comfortable as possible playing (ie. disabling "wet" sounds that's not your thing)... you can really tell this game has A LOT of love put into bringing its world and gameplay to life.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A fun world to colour & explore, a beautiful OST to keep you going, and very natural character growth throughout make Chicory a very good game for folks of all ages.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This simple premise unfolds into a touching narrative about self-discovery, community, and overcoming doubt, wrapped in a warm and inviting art style that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some of the boss fights Dark Chicory / Dark You and the final one were incredible, I loved the music and even had a bit of difficulty on a few of em.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-While the controls playing on PC feel a lot better than they did when using an Xbox controller, I didn't love the art challenges because it was so difficult (for me anyway) to get something that genuinely looked good.
