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

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.
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.

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

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.
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 paints a pretty picture with innovative mechanics and a charming personality that's hard to resist.
"Concrete Genie" is a magical action-adventure, which tells an emotional story in a gentle way. It's a lot of fun to swing the brush and create colorful djinn out of nothing. The artful puzzles provide the player with ever new story snippets and also invite to a cute interaction with the friendly spirit beings. If you are looking for an extraordinary game that appeals to the player's creative talent, "Concrete Genie" is a small work of art among the games.

An experience that values creation above all, Concrete Genie is a colourful spectacle and treat for the eyes and soul.
As an allegory, bringing light to personal or cultural darkness through art isn’t terribly original but it’s still relatively surprising for any game to have a wider subtext, and besides, Concrete Genie’s deepest pleasures are aesthetic.
Concrete Genie might go as one of the biggest surprises of the year. The lower price is just a bonus. Whatever amount of success this game finds, Concrete Genie deserves more.
Concrete Genie is an excellent example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. It's not groundbreaking, or really exemplary in any single measure, but everything comes together in a way many games don't. It's charming, wholesome, and a complete realization of an original vision. It's a perfect palette-cleanser experience, and more importantly, it's wonderfully unique.
Concrete Genie leaves you begging for more in an experience that's short and sweet. Even though the game isn't challenging it feels great to play as you let your imagination run wild. With a charming story and great characters to boot you should definitely be playing this if you don't mind the short runtime.

Concrete Genie is a charming and creative experience with great 'artistic' ideas, but annoying fights and adventure moments.

I liked the intentions of the game. But while it did have a big twist, I felt like it was more of a short story than a long narrative.
Concrete Genie is one of the most imaginative games ever created.
Concrete Genie makes everyone happy who can not leave any paper unpainted.

Concrete Genie is a charming and wholesome adventure that makes up for its rather ordinary gameplay with striking art and personable creatures.
So many good ideas and an interesting realization, but that could have gone even further to really be a memorable title.

Even though Concrete Genie frequently fails to meet the heights of its gameplay potential, it's the kind of game that I'm glad Sony is pushing as a small but strong exclusive for PS4. It sets itself apart from all the other games coming this fall both in its sense of positivity and lush beauty making it a welcome pallet cleanser.
