    Concrete Genie is a beautiful little game, with stunning visuals, interactive creativity and solid sound design. The game’s story is simple, with a clear goal, but does manage to surprise you. The gameplay is satisfying, although the Motion Sensor gameplay can be frustrating at times. The game is relatively short, but also just long enough not to get stale. The Deluxe edition bundle comes with 12 custom paintbrushes, the original soundtrack, a stunning digital art book and two interactive themes. Very nice additions, but not necessarily worth the surplus price.

    These are ultimately nitpicks in what is a magical, affecting experience with a heart of gold, though. Concrete Genie paints a pretty picture that’s hard to resist. Here’s hoping Sony continue to support smaller, more creative ventures like Concrete Genie again as we move into the next generation and beyond.

    Another game that is really good for mindfullness. It was pretty, creative, and uplifting. Never too challenging (I think I died maybe once), but still enjoyable. I love that your drawings come to life, and the monsters you create are free to roam the world. There was something so basically beautiful about it that it just appealed to me. Think I finished it in one weekend. Not much replay-ability, but a great game overall.

It's not only keeps the player going through it's beautiful colors but overall a super short story and def easy platinum for any players seeking a fast and easy trophies. I would recommend this game.
