    This game has been flying under the radar since its announcement at 2017's October Paris Games Week. Yet another Sony exclusive! And boy what a fun time I've been having. It is a fantasticly original concept, creative and rewarding with a good story too.

    I was between a 9 or 10 but the fun originality wins it full marks. Not too many new concept games out there. And I absolutely love this. Bravo Pixel Opus    … Expand

    Gran juego, uno de los tapados del año. Es de esos juegos únicos que no te deberías de perder, esta lleno de encanto, como otros como Unravel.

    A unica coisa ruim desse jogo é ser curto, pois ele é uma obra prima! espero que a Sony veja seu potencial e faça uma continuação ou DLC.
    historia e jogabilidade maravilhosas!

    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!

    Amazing game! Playstation with more greatness as this is a visual masterpiece and best use of HDR to date. Mechanics work really well and the story is brilliant.

    This is one of those don't judge a book by its cover types of games. The game only takes several hours to Platinum, but the story and game play along the way make it incredible and worth the journey.

    You need more then 5 brain cells to enjoy an artistic Game like this, thats why Gears of Flop 5 Fans dislike it and give this Game bad Scores ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    This is a very beautiful game and fun, don't listen to all the negative reviews from the salty xbots review bombing this game. They're mad because they have no exclusives what so ever

    In the wake of so called AAA tripe being released (looking at you, Ubisoft). Concrete Genie is a charming and beautiful game unlike anything I have played previously.

    Yes it may be short but I enjoyed every minute I spent with the game and would recommend it to anybody and everybody.

    One thing is certain: Concrete Genie's identity crisis proves its creators still have some maturing left to do. [Issue#340, p.106]

    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.
