    If I were to describe this game in one word it would be beautiful, but not just because the world is beautiful, not just because the painting creations come alive in such beautifully animated colours, but also because the story that accompanies it is beautiful as well.

The game itself blends old school concepts like floating collectables, and platforming, with new ideas like creating your own genies that accompany you throughout the levels helping you solve puzzles. This game is very unique and I can guarantee you won't have played anything quite like it. At $30, this was never meant to be a fully fledged title and comes in at around 6-7 hours for the first playthrough, the mileage you get after that is dependent on how much you enjoyed exploring the world and painting the additional scenes. I feel like there is something really special here that if expanded into a full fledged AAA would be mind blowing and I really hope they make a sequel.… Expand

    Jogo de baixa produção, com comando amarrados e aparentemente feito para PSVR e adaptado de forma grotesca para os consoles sem precisar o uso do PSVR.

    I was amazed at how beautiful this game was for only 30 euro..i enjoyed every single bit of it and even cried a little at the end. Must buy. And there is still some replay value for the trophies

    Jogo muito bom. Superou minhas expectativas! Trabalho de arte impecável! E narrativa e historia envolventes... pena que é um jogo com cerca de 6 horas. Ainda sim merece ser jogado! Parabéns aos desenvolvedores!

    Strange game, meaningless and confusing. Art direction doesn't enchant. It looks like a game from the last generation and it doesn't get exciting. Another overrated Sony game

    Real contrasting, bright neon in gloomy scenery. Heard it was inspired by JSRF. Can totally see why with traversal platforming elements and decorating the levels with a palette of easy to use thematic tools. Easy to make a mural on basically any wall. Reminds me of the movie Coraline, but only a little.

    The whole game offers up an innocent thrill with the kind of naive charm you get from a well-crafted kids movie, like The Goonies. The characters all have a delightful appeal, the world of Denska is enchanting, and the story is well delivered. It is on the short side, and doesn't feel like a challenge even when the story suggests you're in a difficult moment, but it's definitely worth replaying again and again. In short, Concrete Genie is a beautiful game all about emotions and doing what's right, and it's truly very special.

    Concrete Genie is a stylized marvellous platform that will channel your inner artist. Too bad VR support is not more integrated into the core gameplay.
