The editors didn't like

  • Motion controls get some time getting used to
  • Weird 5th act twist
  • Limited replayability
  • Creativity reliant on discovery
  • Peculiar pacing
  • Combat feels shoehorned into the final act
  • The game ends before it feels like the scope of its mechanics is fully explored
  • Puzzles are all incredibly simple
  • And solving them is unsatisfying
  • Game is a bit short
  • Not aimed at adults which marketing hasn't made clear
  • VR mode feels tacked on and unnecessary
  • Sixaxis control is on by default
  • Bullies are more of a nuisance than a threat
  • Sometimes the art doesn't do what you want
  • When you aren't painting the gameplay is underwhelming
  • The gameplay takes a drastic turn
  • But still falls flat
  • Dictating the art to you takes away the best aspect of the game

  • Abstract:  I have a bit of a dilemma when it comes to Concrete Genie. See, the first 90% of it is outstanding. Not only is it one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played, it manages to build the game around that beauty. That's an astonishing feat, and it made it...

  • Concrete Genie, much like its main character Ash, is good-natured and warm, but also a bit flat and one-note. The game, in spite of a late-game gameplay pivot, never truly manages to engage beyond its admittedly charming painting mechanic
