Concrete Genie has been updated to version 1.07 today signaling another game that could have been updated to add support for PS5 backward compatibility.
All the wholesome charm of an indie game, but with bigger teams and bigger budgets.
Gary Green said: Everyone needs a change of scenery once in a while. Even a homebody such as myself can’t help but wonder what life is like elsewhere, even if for a brief stay. From my suburban upbringing with a close proximity to a once-bustling town centre, I often find myself wondering if I would integrate into community better elsewhere. My hometown isn’t exactly thriving in terms of financial stability or community spirit, and when mental exhaustion kicks in, packing up and leaving occasionally crosses my mind, in search of something feeling more like ‘home’.
Perhaps from day-trips as a child and family holidays, I’ve always found a fondness for seaside communities, though the sea itself fills me with ambivalence in both a fear and fascination of what lies beneath, not unlike the established mindset of H.P Lovecraft himself, only without the casual racism. Through games, if I’m lucky enough, I get to experience these settings and their communities from the comfort of my own home, providing of course I can find a game that fits the description.
Enter Concrete Genie, an outstanding little adventure. It’s not Lovecraft though, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing since we’ll need to go to a darker place for that. Concrete Genie has the potential to fill that need for exploration where Call of Cthulhu ultimately missed the mark.
There are many PlayStation Plus Premium hidden gems waiting to be found, including the gratifying Gravity Rush 2 and the intriguing Telling Lies.
Gravity Rush 1 and 2 are amazing can you believe the guy who created Silent Hill created these.
Agreed. And it was definitely top 5 on the platform for me. Genuinely loved how charming the series is/was.I loved it so much that I Platinumed it twice (Gravity Rush 2 and its Japanese variant, Gravity Daze 2).
Such a lovely series. I say this once every 3 or so months, but Sony committed the gravest sin in my eyes by dismantling my favorite Sony studio, Japan Studio and I really had a hard time forgiving that.
Good game so I hope it sees a second wind on PS5. Sony really stepped on its thunder announcing PS5 news during its release day.
Great to see older games getting prepped for the ps5
