That being said, Concrete Genie makes for an immersive experience, which is enhanced if you embrace the creativity of the developers. I would like to see the touchpad feature more, as a way of including more painting techniques. Through his artwork, Ash is able to explore his emotions and combat his loneliness as his painted creations come to life.Īlthough Concrete Genie is one of the few games that makes use of the motion sensors in the DualShock 4, I feel as though there are ways that this could’ve been expanded, especially in an art based title. Young Ash lives in a dull town and is hounded by a group of local bullies. Pixelopus’ Concrete Genie released in 2019 and follows the story of Ash.
