![]() ![]() You ponder over the sad state of the town while sketching one day, when you are interrupted by bullies who snatch your sketchbook, tear it apart and throw the pages away. You are Ash, an artistic kid who spends time sketching in his sketchbook and is bullied by the other kids. People started leaving, miscreants grew in number and darkness took over. Small port town, beautiful vistas, a quaint lighthouse and charming houses, Denska the fictional town of Concrete Genie, used to have all of this before disaster struck in the name of an oil spill which spelled doom for the town. Released in 2019 to a host of good reviews, this PlayStation exclusive is sure to be an experience that you will cherish. “The pen is mightier than the sword but the mightiest of them all is the paintbrush” this quote by great ole me (hehe) gives you an idea as to what you’ll be doing in this lovely and fabulous looking game. WARNING: This guide contains spoilers for the game's story.Disclaimer: This review contains spoilers, please read at your discretion. Welcome to Concrete Genie! Developed by Pixelopus and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, this game was originally announced at Paris Games Week in 2017 and stars Ash, a young boy and aspiring artist who was bullied by a group of local kids that end up destroying his sketchbook, scattering the pages across the many locales of Denska, a once proud city now covered in darkness. Will Ash recover the missing pages from his sketchbook and save Denska from the darkness? Upon forcibly entering the lighthouse thanks to the bullies, he encounters his most recent drawing a genie named Luna, as she comes to life before his very eyes. This game is a coming of age tale with a central theme of escaping from your bullies by using illicit street paintings to find comfort and safety away from them. In terms of trophies, this game is particularly easy with some story and collectible related trophies, and those that relate to extra activities you can do with your genie friends. NOTE: Before you start playing this game, you should take note that the game has stability issues that can prevent you from progressing further into the game's story and potentially crash the game. This is possibly due to the game being unoptimized for use on either a fat or slim PS4 (which might mean that the game might have been made with the PS4 Pro (and to an extent the PS5) in mind), as well as what you have your system's language set to so be sure to save your game and change your system's language to English before attempting to go further in the game's story (the latter should be done in the event where you are playing the game on a PS4 Pro or PS5 but you should also do so on either a fat or slim PS4, just in case).Ĭontrols: (You can change the controls for moving the Paint Cursor in the game's options by selecting either Game or Accessibility) There is also a free paint mode where the player can freely paint any scene to their heart's desire. ![]() : Drop Down / Exit Painting / Wind Attacks : Re-center Paint Cursor (while painting) / Electric Attacks : Camera Movement / Move Paint Cursor (only if you have set it to the right stick in the game's options) #CONCRETE GENIE LIGHTHOUSE PAGES PRO# ![]() Move the controller around to move the Paint Cursor (only if you have it set to Motion Control in the game's options) : Undo Painting (while painting) / Paint Skate This should be both your first and most important priority as you will need to playthrough the game and finish the story from start to finish. You will also earn some trophies while on the way (such as those for collectables, for example), but you should save the rest of these trophies until the post game so you will have more free time to finish any collectibles and genie moments afterwards.
