You can thankfully delete objects you paint, but that doesn't solve the problem of several Genies vying for your attention on a small area.Ĭoncrete Genie uses the motion control sensors on a DualShock 4 controller by default when you are painting. It felt overwhelming and hectic, to the point where I couldn't even tell what I had painted on the wall. I've had to contend with a handful of Genies on a small wall all trying to get me to draw three different objects. To make them happy, they'll show you different objects they want you to draw. In order to fill up your super paint meter, your Genies need to be happy. A limit exists so that you aren't splattering hundreds of objects on a small wall, but I found the walls to get cluttered anyway. Nearly every wall in the game can be painted on in some way. It gets good later on, but by then you may have run out of patience. Oh my GOSH, this game is repetitive in the first half. Sometimes a Genie will want a particular design painted, in which case you just select it on your menu and you're good to go as the design you choose automatically appears on the wall after you move the cursor. That's all you're doing, with the occasional platforming puzzle thrown in, but these are generally fairly easy to solve. Walk around an area, paint on a wall to light up lightbulbs, rinse and repeat. While each individual design gives the illusion of variety, the crux of Concrete Genie leads to some incredibly repetitive gameplay in the first half.
