Concrete Genie

Despite a few ideas never really being fleshed out, Concrete Genie's imaginative design is both charming and satisfying.

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 has a great score and impressive art direction which leave you absolutely jaw-dropped at times. It's a short game though, and that feels even more so when the game goes away from its core strengths and barrels towards the finish line with lackluster combat sequences.

A small, perfectly formed adventure

At times, Concrete Genie can be a little too pleasant, which makes the action-packed conclusion really jarring. Still, the contrast between Ash's fantasy and his reality is truly stunning.
