There are some games that come along and try something so outlandish and different that the gaming industry at large can’t help but stop and take notice.

Now, this isn’t always a positive experience for the fans and the developers because even the best-laid plans can go awry. Look at No Man’s Sky as a prime example; that was a game that promised the world, the world believed the promise, and then upon release, it fell flat on its face.

This is becoming more of a common occurrence in the modern age of gaming thanks to tight deadlines and release schedules, increased pressure from gamers through the lofty standards they set for AAA games, and of course, the fact that in such a saturated field, you have to do something mad to stand out at all.

So when we saw a game called Concrete Genie promise a sandbox world with infinite artistic possibilities and a magical paintbrush that is controlled by motion control, we were skeptical, to say the least, but against the odds, this game was charming and tonnes of fun.

Concrete Genie is a game that tells a touching story about an artistic kid that doesn’t fit into the humdrum town he lives in, and through his art, he finds an escape, and when his creations come to life, he uses this as a way to rescue his town and return this seaside location to its former glory. So naturally, to make this a reality, you will have to paint the town in technicolor neon, and through doing this, the town will burst into life again. The gameplay is slick; the game is paced wonderfully; it doesn’t overstay its welcome, and best of all for us, trophy hunters, Concrete Genie has a very manageable platinum trophy.

So with that in mind, we want to give you a handy roadmap and break down each trophy in this charming title so you can add another shiny platinum trophy to your cabinet. So get your magical brush at the ready, get those creative juices flowing and join us. Here is our Concrete Genie Trophy Guide.

Bottom Line Up Front

Genre: Action Platformer

Number of Trophies: 53

Difficulty: 2/10

Platinum %: 43.34%

Number of Playthroughs: One

Time to Complete: 8-10 Hours

Roadmap To Success

Step One: Story Time

As this game only requires one playthrough and there are no missable trophies, there is no pressure on the player to do everything in one run or in a very distinct way. So when you first hop into this game, we would suggest that you simply enjoy the game’s story. This will allow you to naturally collect more than half of the trophies anyway through natural play. We would also say that it will save you time later in the 100% run if you keep an eye out for pages that are floating around the place. There is no pressure to collect these, as they will be there waiting for you when you finish the game, but if they are in your line of sight on the way, there is no reason why you shouldn’t stray off the path just a little to grab them. Here is a rundown of all the trophies that you will end up popping through your natural playthrough:

• Luna’s Apprentice
• Let the Light Shine
• Just Like Old Times
• Power’s back!
• Water’s Clear
• Forced to Fight
• The Name’s Ash
• Doing the Right Thing
• I Made a Promise…
• The Curse Is Lifted
• A fresh Start
• Something New
• Choices, Choices
• Colorful Companion
• Dog? Cat? Draaaagon?

Step Two: Let the Collect-a-thon Commence

After you have seen all the story-related content that this game has to offer, you should then turn your attention towards collecting all of the lost sketchbook pages, finishing all the Genie Moments, repairing all the Billboards, and generally making the town look even more colorful. The pages around the town will require the player to explore hidden areas, platform to some of the highest areas of the map, and interact with aspects of the in-game world, so they can be a challenge to hunt down. However, with a guide, finding what pages are left over after your story playthrough shouldn’t be too tasking. Then you will also have to read the Newspapers scattered around Denska; however, as there aren’t that many, we would wager that you already have.

Then as for Genies and Billboards, players will be required to paint with care and attention to bring these set-pieces to life and create fun scenarios for you and your Genies to share. These are much more straightforward than finding all the pages, but you may need specific pages to complete various moments, so please try and find the pages first, then get creative with the Billboards and Genie Moments. Here is a rundown of all the trophies you should focus on throughout this step:

• Stunning Landscape
• Every Possible Look
• Art Gallery
• Perfectly Restored
• High Five
• Karaoke Night
• Peek-a-boo
• Read all the Newspapers
• Faded Memories
• Memories Restored
• A Secret Moment
• Capture The Moments

Step Three: Odd Jobs and Helping Luna

Then after you have all the creative options that the game has to offer safely stored in your sketch pad again, it’s time to get painting, play with your genies, do some odd jobs and miscellaneous tasks to pop certain trophies and then see what final, end-game content that Denska has hidden at the Lighthouse for you. Essentially, you will be using certain designs a certain amount of times, triggering genie animations and helping Luna. It’s all very straightforward, and when you are done with this last spot of clean-up, you’ll have a lovely new Platinum in your cabinet waiting for you. Here is a list of the trophies that we would deem as the last of the clean-up. However, bear in mind that you may have a lot of these already through natural play:

• All Ears
• Fa-Fa-Fashion
• Besties
• Om Nom Nom Nom
• My happy Place
• Weeeeeeeeeeee!
• Feel the Thunder
• Is it Raining?
• Anyone There?
• Don’t Eat me
• Carried Away
• Sugar Rush
• Chillaxing
• Frozen Treat
• In the Zone
• Starchild
• Pyromaniac
• What Does it Mean?
• Lunatic
• Festival Time
• Snow Season
• Free Style
• Living Photo
• I’m Back
• Luna’s Secret

Breaking Down The Trophies

Okay. So you now have a rough idea of how to approach this game, and if that is the only framework you need, then great. However, even if the best of intentions from the most meticulous of trophy hunters, some trophies can slip through the cracks and prove rather elusive. This is why we will be giving a quick rundown on each trophy on offer and giving you the skinny on how to make that trophy pop and gift you that crumb of serotonin you seek. So let’s do just that! Check it out below:

The Curse Is Lifted

Rarity: Silver

This is a story-related and unmissable trophy in Concrete Genie. The player earns this trophy when they battle the Dark Alpha Genie and save it from its curse. Here are some quick tips for that fight:

• Analyze the shield colors presented and swap your skills accordingly to break this Alpha Genie’s defenses
• Deal with the fodder enemies as they come; otherwise, you might get overwhelmed
• When it hops onto a crystal, focus purely on evasion. Don’t bother attacking until this phase is over.

Fresh Start

Rarity: Gold

This is a story-related and unmissable trophy in Concrete Genie. The player earns this trophy when the player befriends all of their former bullies and forms an unlikely team of heroes.

Something New

Rarity: Bronze

The player has to earn this trophy to progress. This is earned by collecting the first lost page from your sketchbook. This will be accessible on the pier, and players will need to evade the bullies to get it.

Choices, Choices

Rarity: Bronze

The player will also get this through natural play. This trophy will pop when the player adds five pages to the sketchbook.

Colorful Companion

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy is earned when the player uses the Genie creation tool to bring their first Genie to life. This will always be a Biped Genie.

Dog? Cat? Draaaagon?

Rarity: Bronze

After the player pops the trophy above, they will eventually gain access to the Genie Creation tool again and gain access to a new Genie body type. When the player creates a Quadriped Genie, this achievement will pop.

Stunning Landscape

Rarity: Bronze

It’s likely that throughout the run that diligent players will probably complete at least one full area and collect all the landscape pages on their first run through the game. To pop this trophy, the player need only find all the landscape pages for the particular segment of the map they find themselves in.

Every Possible Look

Rarity: Bronze

Very similar to the trophy above, only this time, the player will need to find all the Genie Features and Body Parts located in a single area of the map to earn this trophy.

Art Gallery

Rarity: Silver 

It’s also very likely that the player will encounter all of the landscape pages in their first run. If the player happens to completely fill the landscape section of their sketchbook, this trophy will pop. There are a total of 48 landscape pages within the game, and there are twelve pages for each area of the map.

Perfectly Restored

Rarity: Gold

This is by far the most time-consuming of all the trophies that this game has to offer. However, with a trusty visual guide, this is a piece of cake as none of the pages within this game are difficult to get to once you know where to find them. While we would love to tell you exactly where each page is located in written form, there are 205 collectibles in total here, so we would be very forever, and let’s face it, you would rather see it on screen than have us guide you through the written word. So here is a Youtube guide that you can trust to guide you to each page, starting with The Lighthouse:

High Five

Rarity: Bronze

This is a trophy that players will pick up throughout their initial story run. This showcases how players can interact with their Genies and make them do cool things. So when you begin an animation near a basketball hoop and your genie scores a basket, you will see this trophy pop.

Karaoke Night

Rarity: Bronze

Rather similar to the trophy above, this is one that most players will pick up along the way as the game wants to teach the player how to complete Genie moments. So if you complete the first genie moment you come across and have your genie sing karaoke, you will get this trophy.

Peek-a-boo

Rarity: Bronze

This is a trophy that occurs through completing a Genie Moment; when the player completes this, the Genie will play peek-a-boo with you, and the trophy will pop.

Stories of Denska

Rarity: Bronze

This is a trophy that is earned when the player interacts with and reads all of the newspapers that are dotted around Denska. There are only six of these papers, and they are pretty much out in the open, so if you are actively keeping an eye out for these throughout your run, you likely won’t miss them. However, just in case, here is a Youtube guide to help lead you in the right direction:

Faded Memories

Rarity: Bronze

This is a trophy that is earned by restoring your first Denska Billboard to its former glory by mimicking the old design and giving it a fresh new coat of paint.

Memories Restored

Rarity: Silver

Then if you seek out all of Denska’s neglected billboards and restore them, you will get your hands on this shiny new trophy. Here is a quick guide on where to find these trophies and what designs to use on each of these projects to make them stand out from the crowd:

A Secret Moment

Rarity: Bronze

This is a trophy that is earned when the player completes their first Genie Moments task. This is a trophy that usually pops in tandem with Karaoke Night.

Capture The Moments

Rarity: Silver

Then when the player hunts down all of the Genie Moments opportunities and completes these tasks, this trophy will pop. As we mentioned above. Prioritize finding pages first so that you aren’t trying to complete these tasks without having access to the necessary designs needed.

All Ears

Rarity: Bronze

This is a trophy that players will probably earn when they create their first Genie. All you have to do to make this trophy pop is stick a pair of ears onto your sentient creation. 

Fa-Fa-Fashion

Rarity: Bronze

This one is rather similar to the trophy listed above but will require a few more additions to your Genie creation. The player will need to add at least five different features to their Genie, and when you do, this trophy is yours.

Besties

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy will be awarded to the player when they wave at their genies three times over the course of their playthrough. This doesn’t mean calling your genies over. This is a function that literally waves at them, and they wave back. To do this, press the up button on the d-pad, and after three polite waves, the trophy will pop. 

Om Nom Nom Nom

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the apple paint design and also have a genie in the vicinity. If you do, spawn a painted apple and watch as your Genie chomps on it and rewards you with a fresh new trophy. Delicious. 

My Happy Place

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the campfire design. When you paint this design near a genie, they will sit down by the fire and will maybe even recount some campfire ghost stories; who knows. 

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Kite or Pinwheel design. When the player paints this, a genie will take hold of this and fly it around with careless abandon; how charming. 

Feel the Thunder

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Lightning Storm design. Paint this design and watch as the Genies in the area cower before the might of Zeus. 

Is it Raining?

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Raincloud design. If you use this design, a genie will whip out their trusty parasol and keep dry despite your best efforts. 

Anyone There?

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Storm Lily design. They will peer into the deep flower and see if anyone is home, and you get a trophy when they do. 

Don’t Eat Me

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Venus Fly Trap design. This will begin an animation where the Genie tangles with the monstrous plant, and then you get a trophy. 

Carried Away

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Balloon design. The Genie interacting with this design will float away because apparently, these genies are as light as feathers, and then you get a trophy. 

Sugar Rush

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Storm Vine Fruit or Mushroom Vine Fruit design. The Genie will chow down on these sweet treats, and then this trophy pops. 

Chillaxing

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Iceberg design. When you use this design, the Genie will clamber on top of this frozen structure, and then pop goes the trophy. 

Frozen Treat

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy relates to a specific type of design that the player will have to collect before they can complete this task. The player will need to unlock the Snow Cloud design; this will lead to some snowfall, which your Genie will take full advantage of and catch flakes with their tongue, leading to a trophy popping soon after.

In the Zone

Rarity: Bronze

We would wager that players will get this when they work on one of the larger painting jobs like the masterpieces or the Billboards. If players remain in painting mode for a total of at least three straight minutes, you will earn this trophy. 

Starchild

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy is awarded when you paint a certain amount of a particular design. When the player paints 20-star clusters, this one will pop.

Pyromaniac

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy is awarded when you paint a certain amount of a particular design when the player needs to paint at least ten campfire designs to earn this one.

What Does it Mean?

Rarity: Bronze

This perhaps shows my age, but I was around when ‘double rainbow’ was at the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist. This trophy is awarded when you paint a certain amount of a particular design. When the player paints two rainbows back to back, they will earn this trophy.

Lunatic

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy is awarded when you paint a certain amount of a particular design. When the player paints ten moons in a row, this one will pop.

Festival Time

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy is awarded when you paint a certain amount of a particular design. When the player paints 30 mushroom vines, this trophy will pop. 

Snow Season

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy is awarded when you paint a certain amount of a particular design. When the player paints 20 Blackbirch trees, this trophy will be yours. 

Free Style

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy is earned when players play in all of the different freestyle painting levels. These can be accessed in the main menu after you complete the main story content. The easiest thing to do here is to just jump in and out of the levels until this trophy pops. 

Living Photo

Rarity: Bronze

This trophy will pop when the player uses the photo mode within the game and then makes use of the replay function, bringing your still photo to life. 

I’m Back

Rarity: Bronze

This is a simple one, and if you are doing clean-up, we assume this will be earned naturally. When you complete the main story content, if you return to the game and continue playing, this trophy will pop and reward you for coming back to Denska. 

Luna’s Secret

Rarity: Silver

Then lastly, we have Luna’s Secret, which is a trophy earned for seeing the additional story content, which can only be accessed after you complete the main story. The player should return to the lighthouse after they complete the game and check in on Luna. This will put you on the path to completing this additional content; you’ll get to complete one final masterpiece, and then just like that, you have the final trophy and a platinum in the trophy cabinet. Well done!

A Genie-ous Game!

As you can see from this detailed rundown, this game isn’t too taxing when it comes to 100% completion. If you follow a guide throughout this adventure and make sure you clear each area and get all the missing pages when you can, this trophy list will take care of itself. This is a relaxing and jovial experience and one of the most underrated Playstation exclusive titles of the modern era.
