This was one of the best Arcade Pits yet! Great Guest team between David and Victoria and they definitely lived up to their team name. Looking forward to more episodes now!
Also, yeah I'm super Stoked for Cook, Serve, Forever. CSD3 is an all time favorite game for me.
@nuttism: As far as Giant Bomb's User lists vs. the site wide List? Probably. I honestly was expect that game to rate lower considering that the game you're mentioning released in a packed week from 2021 and felt like it got little traction in the public. But yeah can't think of a bigger difference in rankings with where Chicory ranked on the community list vs. Chicory winning the site's GOTY.
That said, considering the lead developer behind Chicory, this game did WAY BETTER on Giant Bomb's community GOTY list than his last game. Before Chicory, the lead developer Greg Lobanov made a great little game in 2018 called Wandersong. It came out on PC and Switch and it was a charming singing adventure game but it made a very little splash in 2018. In the 2018 Giant Bomb Community GOTY list it got 12 weighted votes and it ranked below BOTH Fallout 76 and The Quiet Man. This is a huge upgrade for the dev and his team considering how it got ranked below two duds.
Awesome write up Steve! I love Chicory, but never played the game in Co-Op. I'm not a parent but I can imagine playing Chicory in Co-Op with a child sounding lovely. A great list of games all around too with Metroid Dread and Hitman 3 there.
I love reading Creed and Omega's GOTY lists every year and their banter. Adam Cole also making a surprise appearance with a top 5 too! Great read and lists.
