Chicory: A Colorful Tale (PS5)
Even with long-running trends in indie games, I had certain expectations for a game where you play as a cartoon dog and color in a monochrome world with a magic paintbrush. It's going to be cute, have a light, self-referential sort of humor, and take you through a series of puzzles and sidequests as you gain abilities. There will be some sort of theme about the power of creativity to light up the world. And sure, it's got all that. However, things take a different turn when you meet Chicory, your predecessor and personal hero. Chicory is a story about the crushing weight of art, fame, power, duty and succession, and enduring it through mutual support and understanding. These simply-drawn animals are quite human indeed. What's more, while the game normally doesn't have combat, you'll periodically face boss fights that are visually dazzling and quite intense, even though you can't really fail them. It's a remarkable game that I recommend trying. Although I'm not sure I'm too into the idea of 100%ing it, myself.
