If we really cared about making the world a better place we would try to help one another become better, which is something Ash himself realizes in this game. We don’t care to make the world a better place, we only care to feel good about ourselves that we stopped the perceived bad guy. Right now the internet is much more interested in cancelling other people and looking for the gotcha moments that we don’t care to look at the humanity of the other person. Maybe it is the climate of the world in which I write this review, but this resonated with me heavily. Those kids that bullied him had their own pain and issues they were dealing with. ![]() Ash realizes there is no benefit to holding a grudge and that he just feeds into the darkness that is ruining his world. Like a good kid’s movie, Concrete Genie has a message that message is that forgiveness is important. The story of Concrete Genie is what really got me. No one dies, including the corrupted genies, so there’s no need to worry about excessive violence. At this point in the game Ash finds himself fighting back against the very things he created, and the final third of this game is spent with basic combat elements. As the biggest kid starts kicking Ash while he is on the ground the genie pulls itself out of the wall and has become evil and attacks the other children. Parents may want to read just to be sure it is for their family.Įventually the other kids catch up to Ash and ruin one of his murals by painting over it and one of the genies, as well as breaking his paintbrush. Throughout this the other kids will try to bully Ash and grab his magic paintbrush, which allows him to see part of their past, before getting away from them again. Two thirds of this game is following Luna’s instructions, bringing light to the town of Denka through painting with the help of the genies and no combat. This drawing, Luna, shows Ash how to remove the darkness that made people leave the town of Denka in the first place. There Ash find one of his drawings has come to life. One day the other kids tear up his sketchbook and lock him on the gondola to the lighthouse. The story of Concrete Genie is about a boy named Ash who, unlike the other kids, spends his time drawing in his book instead of causing problems. New designs can be earned through exploring the world, which opens up as more goals are met. Using the premade designs the main goal is to light up all the lightbulbs and paint genies to help get through the environment (red genies light fires, yellow make electricity, and blue blow wind). The main aspect of Concrete Genie is painting, which is done by using the Sixaxis motion control (this can be changed to the right analog stick in the menu). There are few fail states, and even when those happen it is quick to get back to action. Ash controls (and looks a bit like) the characters in Infamous, where he sort of magnetizes to the next jump point as he climbs. Set in an open world, Concrete Genie is a 3D platformer that has some puzzle and collectathon elements. If you are an adult without kids or lack any interest in spending time with a feel good game that is fairly easy and tells a story with a message, this game is not for you. Sure, there’s games that are aimed for all audiences like a lot of Nintendo properties, but to see a new intellectual property that is for kids is very uncommon. We still have TV shows and movies that clearly aim for an audience of children first and foremost, but video games that are aimed at kids have become mostly licensed properties. Growing up I remember plenty of games aimed at children, but over the years that has disappeared. AN UNEXPECTED FIRST PARTY GAME FOR YOUNGER PLAYERS.Ĭoncrete Genie is something special.
