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

  • The game and the artwork you create is visually stunning, Easily accessible so anybody can pick it up and play, VR mode is a fun addition but not vital for those who don't have access to it,
  • There isn't any. The game is a joy from start to finish, Read More, PS4 Reviews, Blood & Truth Review, Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn Review, God of War Review, Shadow of Colossus Review, Marvel's Spider-Man Review, Astro Bot Review, Uncharted 4: A Thief's

  • Delicately deals with childhood themes, Captivating soundtrack, Visually satisfying artwork,
  • Motion controls can be clumsy, Feels directionless at times, Visually unsatisfying characters,
  • Concrete Genie tells the classic tale of light versus darkness from the eyes of an imaginative child, aiming to reinvigorate their troubled world through the wholesome art of citywide vandalism. An experiment in motion-controlled painting, it offers a sat...

  • Abstract:  It would be exceptionally easy to write this review from the mindset of a cynic. There are plenty of things in Concrete Genie one could point at and shout, “Yeah, it's pretty BUT…” and I wouldn't be surprised if many reviews do end up taking that route. I...

  • Success in Concrete Genie comes easily - probably too easily for some - but that ease lets its best moments breathe. It's less about challenging you to get through traditional video game obstacles than it is about letting you challenge yourself to keep co...

  • Breathtaking visuals, Enthralling storyline, Makes good use of motion sensor technology, Gameplay feels very rewarding, Suitable for all ages
  • The game is rather short, Genies can be frustratingly slow, Dark genie combat appears way too late into the game
  • Concrete Genie is a rather unique game offering gamers a creative outlet to enjoy even for those who lack artistic skills. The story will easily captivate almost any gamer out there and it's hard to not enjoy...

  • Charming, Paint mechanics are fantastic, Doesn't overstay its welcome, Genies are adorable
  • Not the best writing, Weird combat segment at the end feels tacked on, Might not be for everyone
  • Concrete Genie charms with its many adorable genies and an earnest story. Its visual style and art design is simply breathtaking, and its relaxing painting mechanics make it a truly unique offering in today's slew of blockbuster games.All your designs com...

  • Magnifique direction artistique, Une réalisation pleine de couleurs, De très bonnes idées avec les génies, Des mécaniques qui fonctionnent, Des doublages français de bonne facture, Un concept original qui prend bien
  • Une aventure finalement classique avec ses clichés, Des dessins un peu trop dirigistes, Des mécaniques qui n'ont pas le temps d'être pleinement exploitées, Durée de vie relativement faible, Le mode VR qui ne sert (vraiment) pas à grand-chose
  • Sans pour autant être une aventure marquante, Concrete Genie a clairement eu le mérite de m'avoir fait passer un bon moment. Bien que très classique dans sa construction, le jeu propose un cachet visuel et un concept qui nous donne vraiment envie de parta...

  • La direction artistique, Univers enchanteur, Gameplay plein de bonnes idées
  • Challenge absent, La peinture au gyroscope plutôt qu'au pavé tactile ?, Quelques lourdeurs subsistent
  • S'il ne sera jamais l'égal des pointures de la PlayStation 4, du côté des exclusivités, Concrete Genie s'avance avec des arguments certains pour piquer la curiosité du joueur. Peint avec une bonne dose d'insouciance, le jeu s'apparente à une expérience...
