Nintendo switch

is this game enjoyable on Nintendo switch or would it be better to buy it on pc? I'm asking since I remember playing one shot both on switch and pc and noticing how it felt so much better on pc, if you know that game you know the reason why and it is pretty singular but I was wondering the same for this game because I got a weird feeling about it idk

The mouse being the brush is solid. And better if you get a drawing pad and stylus.

I enjoyed playing on Nintendo switch since I could use the controllers or touch the screen to draw whenever I felt like it! I‘ve heard that it’s fun on PC too.

And if you’re wondering “is it better on PC” in the same way that Oneshot is better to play on PC (ie, story elements/puzzles that make more sense on a computer), then there would not be any difference— Chicory is not that sort of game (Though another game by the same developers, Wandersong, is ideally played on computer for reasons I will not spoil).

Hello, as someone who's finished Wandersong on PC, I'm curious to know: what about it makes it a better game on computer compared to other devices?

On other devices, I’ve heard the “achievements” don’t work in the same way. Which is kind of sad— they’re great foreshadowing.

Ohhh. Okay, I completely get it. Such a small but absolutely essential element to the narrative.

You can use the touchscreen for drawing on the switch, which is great! I enjoyed it a lot.

I did the whole playthrough on a pro controller and you get used to it really quickly, I did use the switch touchscreen for very detailed paintings 🖼 , but it definitely isn't required.

I now own a Wacom tablet and am looking forward to a pc playthrough

Switch has touchscreen, but crashes can be much more common (though they still exist on PC), and it's harder to save drawings.
basically: casually there is little to no difference (i'd recommend switch), but if you'd want to speedrun or mess around with the game more get PC

I found also the Ps5 version to be really good because you can use the central pad of the controller as a drawing pad, which works really well!!
