3.5/5 ★ – hunkypet's review of Concrete Genie.

More games need to have individuality. That is Concrete Genies greatest strength, there is simply nothing else like this. I will admittedly hold my hands up and say by the 3/4 mark I was ready for this short adventure to end. I didn’t care for having to clear the muck with my artistic designs so In the end I would plaster the walls with what some would say a toddler throwing a tantrum. I throughly enjoyed the story and wish my loss of enjoyment through the games gameplay design didn’t Have to dampen my desire to want to keep playing but in the end I am glad I finished it. Two key points I want to mention. The first - The game is gorgeous, I lent this game to a friend (@WizardWilson) who I think enjoyed this more than me but the key thing I took away from his comments on it was the game looks amazing, it’s like being in a Pixar movie, he wasn’t wrong . The Second - I encountered a bug where I needed Genies to respond to something I painted triggering an event so I could progress. They didn’t respond, reloading my save multiple times proved no luck so I had to go back to an earlier save and do an hours worth of content again. Played on PS4 Pro
