PlayStation Plus free game is a 'beautiful, amazing' adventure you should check out

Getting a game recommendation is always nice, especially when the game is as gorgeous as this one. With stunning, paintery visuals in eye-popping neons, Concrete Genie is one of those ‘must play’ games. Plus, it can be experienced in VR.

It’s quite often that Reddit throws out a great recommendation for a game. One user took to the message boards to wax lyrical about Concrete Genie, a truly beautiful game that sees a young boy attempt to cleanse his hometown of filth by painting wonderful murals aided by magical genies.

Concrete Genie is a beautiful game that pulls you into another world

The PlayStation exclusive is available to play via PlayStation Plus and comes with high praise by many. Over on Reddit, the original poster discussed how this was a change of pace for them as they usually played mature games and they “could not put it down for the past two evenings and also unlocked a very easy Platinum.”

This post caused many other players to jump in with more praise, or feel inspired to download the game and play it, “It’s been in my library for ages but never played it. I’ll remedy that.” Concrete Genie is a very laid-back game, one that won’t elevate the heart rate as this user says, “Excellent game, so relaxing.” From a variety of Redditors the game is called “beautiful”, “amazing” and “awesome”, and they’re not wrong. This game manages to tap into those feelings you got as a kid when creating art was joyful and spurred on by the world around you.

The visuals are, understandably, the most wonderful aspect here. The neon strands that make up the murals really wow and they come to life in ways you wouldn’t imagine, especially if played in VR. No matter how you play it, this one should be on everybody's list.
