It’s a shame that smart usage of the DualShock 4’s biggest gimmick has died off in recent years, as Concrete Genie shows how it can be creatively implemented to great effect. While some may find it disappointing that you’re somewhat guided in your designs, it’s an understandable decision to stop Denska from looking like Jonah Hill’s notebook in Superbad.īy using R2 to bring up your notebook, you can then choose from a broad range of different designs with the size and placement of them being decided by how long you hold to paint and where your DualShock 4’s motion is dictating. Everything is based on presets, which you can unlock by finding Ash’s discarded pages across town.
Almost every wall in Denska can be used as a canvas, you being able to create some elaborate designs with a little bit of practice and patience. When a group of youths tear apart his hard work and he ends up deserted at a lighthouse, Ash meets a loving spirit by the name of Luna who grants him a special brush to bring the town back to life, one creation at a time.Īfter some initial clunkiness (five years later, I still forget how gentle you have to be with the DualShock 4’s motion controls), you will be painting the town red - or whatever hue you like. It’s also Ash’s retreat, somewhere that he likes to go to get away from home life and fill out his sketchbook. The town where Ash grew up in, Denska, has seen better days, it being left completely abandoned after an oil tanker spill set off a chain of events that left it a grim place to be. Concrete Genie is escapism within escapism, it putting you in the shoes of a bullied boy who turns to painting for relief from reality.

Whether there’s too much going on at work or your life isn’t aligning as you’d hoped, a good movie or game can take your mind away from it all for at least a little while, taking you to unknown worlds or making you feel like you could actually stave off an alien invasion with a chainsaw.
