Concrete Genie is a gripping magical adventure that's pretty much perfect at what it does. Whether you're old or young, you'll have a great time playing it.

Concrete Genie is a simple game but it shines with animation technics. Painting something and seeing its becoming alive is really enjoying experience. But all of these things doesn't change that simplicity.

Concrete Genie’s biggest failing is how it had some many avenues to be ‘more’ than a good game, but never manages to fully traverse any one of them. It’s likely the best game from 2019 that you’ll have forgotten in 2020.

Concrete Genie is a short but sweet adventure. Its painting features are easy to master and extremely fun to use and there was nothing more satisfying than bringing the town of Denska back to life one district at a time. Do I wish it was a little bit longer? Yes, but the time I spent with the game was enjoyable and I will most likely go back and collect all the other goodies and paint every single wall available.

Concrete Genie is an adorable and emotional journey that twists the platformer genre with some interesting gameplay mechanics.

Overall, Concrete Genie is such a great medium for educating children on the effects of being a bully and practicing their virtuoso skills at the same time. Parents won't have any problems with language nor content. Casual gameplay that will make you blissful most of the time. A Storyline that will keep you wanting to discover more, not just the characters back story but what happens eventually when you save Denska. I am displeased with that glitched pathway and awkward parkour movement but overall I still enjoyed the game and I understand loud and clear the message it wants to shout to its audience.

Pixleopus has made a triumphant return and from your very first brush stroke, you’ll be so swept away by the colour, story, and ingenuity unlike anything else out there.

I love this game, its characters, charm and the beautiful world that let me not just feel like an artist but become one. Concrete Genie has a warmth to it and I felt like the team at Pixel Opus put their hearts into this and the story and themes don’t come off forced, cheap, or playing the same old-tune we’ve heard before, but instead, real and honest. For all that, Concrete Genie is one of the year's best games and a special gem every PS4 owner should play.

A fine and beautiful adventure that's kinda difficult to love, because of how few original ideas it has and how rarely it offers something new.

A naive, emotional and pleasant story is complemented by enjoyable gameplay. You'll find yourself coming back to the game to paint some more.

It’s hard to play Concrete Genie and not be charmed by it. You can just tell that a whole lot of love has been put into making it. It may not be complex in terms of gameplay, and many of its mechanics feel appropriated from other games, but it’s surprising and unique in numerous ways. As soon as you’ve created your first genie and witnessed it joyously spring to life, you’ll fall in love with it. After that, the time flies by like you’re having fun with a friend. Concrete Genie is all about bringing light into a world that has grown dark. I think we could all do with a bit of that, couldn’t we?

Concrete Genie is like an art piece made by the player, even though it is short but it's one of the most unique experiences of this generation.

Concrete Genie is a game with a positive message that’s ultimately held back by its execution. While I appreciate Sony’s efforts to let its in-house studios experiment with smaller titles, I’m just not sure that this one will be remembered as fondly as the other PS4 indie exclusives.

Concrete Genie can be summed up in just one word: charming. It may not be game of the year material, but it does provide an experience that players will look back at fondly.

It is fun to bring your paintings to life and use them to save small fishing town of Denska. Just try it.
