![]() This game is pretty impressive from a visual and technical standpoint, especially when you’re admiring the beauty of your wall-to-wall creations and realise how steady the framerate still is. Personally, I liked moving the controller a lot more, but it never felt as accurate as I'd like it to be. You’re given the option of using a PlayStation controller’s motion sensor and paint by moving it around in the air, or by using the control sticks. The painting controls are a little iffy for me. Bringing your first Genie to life is quite an experience - as you realise just how much freedom you have in drawing your creations, and then how well the game brings them to life each time. These designs range from art pieces like flowers and trees, to Genie designs and accessories. Over the course of the game, you’ll run into many different pages from Ash’s notebook - each one giving him a new design to paint with. That’s where you come in, as Ash has the ability to paint up the town to colourful high heaven.Ī big part of the game is its painting mechanic. The town of Denska is initially quite dead, drenched in depressing blacks and greys and sombre music. The game was clearly made by a small team, and yet is still a whole lot prettier than a lot of Triple-A games I’ve played recently (*Cough* Man of Medan *Cough*). However, some might consider this to be way too short for its price (S$41.90), so that’s something to keep in mind. Personally, I view that as a good thing, as the story unfolds and ends pretty naturally over the course of those 5-8 hours. The game isn’t very long - in fact, you’re looking at around 5-8 hours of playtime, or more if you really want to grab all the collectibles and score every story. But that’s easily forgiven considering how charming this game is. The writing is rather predictable overall, as you’ll see every line spoken and story beat coming a mile away. Those moments are really special, and capitalise on Concrete Genie’s best quality - its big heart. Every once in a while, the game will switch to beautifully animated 2D cutscenes to shed light on certain characters' backstories. This story is made great by its presentation. Hurt and confused, Ash discovers a magical paintbrush - one that can bring his drawings to life, and maybe even save the town if he’s up to the task. A group of bullies his age come along and rip his notebook apart, scattering its pages all around the abandoned, polluted town of Denska. StoryĬoncrete Genie centers on Ash - a young boy who constantly, almost obsessively doodles in his little notebook.
