Hopefully by reading this review and by watching some gameplay footage you’ll be able to make up you’re mind if this is a game you’d enjoy playing. This will hopefully be more useful to you than a simple number based review out of 10. This was such a beautiful feature of the game that for me definitely created added incentive to paint everything in sight.īased on my time playing Concrete Genie I’ve come up with some recommendations of people who will enjoy this game and those who may not. It took me a little while to catch this but my favorite moment of the game was painting apples in rapid succession and listening to the beautiful melody that was created. What I enjoyed the most about the sound design of this game is the variety of sounds and melodies that are created simply when you’re painting. I’ve basically discovered that I’m a sucker for emotional music. On the other hand, during particularly important moments in cutscenes, the music is able to swell and become very emotive almost bringing me close to tears at some points. The music is understated and pleasant throughout your time exploring the environments which adds a nice peaceful element to your exploration. This was not the case with Concrete Genie. The music in games is something that often goes over my head unless it’s used to very obviously make a point. I was so engrossed in painting that I didn’t care how long I spent at it. This definitely took up the majority of my first hour with the game.Įven though after a certain amount of time I was probably doing nothing to advance the story, I actually didn’t care. I found myself taking that extra time to paint and repaint pretty much every available surface in the game. I’m happy to report that the way the motion controls are used in Concrete Genie do a truly excellent job of keeping you engaged in the gameplay. The use of motion controls, particularly on the previous gen console, the PlayStation 3, was often thought of as a novelty rather than an actual way of interacting with a game. Rather than being inundated with controls and mechanics right away, these are revealed to you one step at a time which creates a fun and relaxing experience.Īs well as this, a pretty unique feature to this game is its use of the motion controls in your Dualshock 4 controller.īy moving your controller around you’ll be able to control the direction of your paintbrush in the game which makes up the core experience of Concrete Genie. Upon starting this game, the controls are gradually revealed to you which in my opinion is a great way to ease new gamers into the game.
