The addition of combat to this game is an unfortunate choice. The additional traversal skills are welcome, but combat feels out of place and even shoehorned in. It feels like an addition to stave off potential player complaints that painting and platforming isn’t sufficient enough to justify this as a game. Which is unfortunate. I think there was something worthwhile in being a non-combat game, but once combat is forced in during the final quarter of the game it looses a bit of its unique charm and becomes a little more conventional.

Concrete Genie’s sound design is quite excellent. The sounds of different surfaces below my feet, my voice bouncing off the walls of an empty storage shipping container, and all the various environmental sounds from wind to rain to gulls flying above all feel exceptionally real and vibrant. This is a very enjoyable game to listen to.

Surprised that a game designed for VR is locked at 30fps. I know having a steady frame rate is more important than the actual frame rate, but it’s too bad it’s not 60fps on the PS5.

Just started this via a rental. Stayed up way too late playing it. Very chill game overall, can't wait to see where it goes.
