Concord Reviews
Concord has one of the most solid and polished controls, but the game doesn't bring anything new or innovative to the already busy and established market for Hero Shooters

Concord is a baseline game that does nothing poorly, but it doesn't stand out in any area, either. In theory, it should have found at least some kind of audience, but it didn't. After two weeks online, the servers are dead, even though the game itself is just fine. I have a bad feeling about this.

Concord is visually beautiful, but that's about it. Not only did it launch at an unfortunate time during intense competition, but it also wasn’t afraid to set an unnecessarily high price. Players enjoy the 5v5 team brawling style, but it needed to bring something new, which it failed to do. The unprofessional behavior of some members of the Firewalk development team didn’t help either. All these missteps came together and, unfortunately, led to the very early termination of the Concord project.

Concord is a solid first-person hero shooter, but its starting price of €40 is a little over the top. Until the game is at least offered for free via PS+, we unfortunately cannot recommend buying it at the current time.

Despite its fun factor, Concord makes mistakes in the basics of the hero shooter genre and is far from being a memorable game. Add to that Sony's poor strategy of charging for the game and you have the reason why it didn't do so well commercially. We'll wait and see what the future holds for Concord.

Concord has potential but is currently too chaotic and unfinished to be enjoyable. Despite years of development, Firewalk released an incomplete product. The engine shows promise, and with a good rework, it could improve. Right now, the game is chaotic, characters don't mesh, there are no standout modes, and the price doesn't match the quality. With ongoing development and user feedback, significant changes could make it better in six months to a year. Realistically, the gaming industry's current situation makes this challenging, but if No Man's Sky could make a comeback, so could Concord. We'll have to wait for future updates.

Despite abundant resources and time at its disposal, Concord still ends up being a product with various shortcomings across multiple aspects, from gameplay to technical execution. A promising narrative premise and satisfying character progression are unfortunately overshadowed by gameplay that fails to introduce anything new and by a bland, tacky character design, highlighting how the game seems stuck halfway in its attempt to become a solid hero shooter.

It's better to stay away from Concord. It's another failed attempt to make a hero-shooter, that we'll soon forget about. Avoid at all costs.

Concord has solid gameplay mechanics, but fails when it comes to providing characters to care about and doesn’t accomplish its attempts to stand out from other hero shooters.
Concord is a game that is as fun to play as it is bland in form and structure. The gunplay is easy, accessible to all, and the choice not to burden the heroes with a thousand abilities and digressions, as NetEase did with Marvel Rivals, is interesting. It might even have a fair amount of interest in esports one day. But will it make it to that day? Firewalk's title has quickly plummeted in players' interests, but this is also because it really has little or nothing to offer, starting with an overly underwhelming art direction. Dulcis in fundo, the idea of launching a hero shooter in 2024 for EUR 40 may have been the decisive move to make Concord the biggest flop in PlayStation history since Basement Crawl and Knack.

Despite the red flags, I was actually rooting for Concord. It could have been a fun new hero shooter, but it just feels lifeless and soulless. It plays well enough but there isn’t anything in here that would keep you busy for long stretches. It’s a shame as there is a solid enough core.
Concord is a title with too many uncertainties. On one hand, the gunplay and technical aspects are solid, showcasing the commitment and quality of the development team. On the other hand, problematic balancing and a lack of originality in the artistic direction compromise the overall experience.

Concord is the definition of a "fine" shooter. The gunplay is fun, but there is nothing here to set Concord apart from any other game on the market. Between its lackluster modes, characters, and price, it's no surprise that Concord was unable to differentiate itself enough to find a player base.
Firewalk Studios' work started off on the wrong foot with a surprising announcement, but one that generated very few expectations. After that, the pre-release beta generated great uncertainty due to the number of active players, and left many doubts. If Concord returns, it has to do so not only bringing a radical change in terms of what it proposes, but also seeking to attract a non-existent and disenchanted community from the first moment.

Concord is unfortunately another undistinguished hero shooter. It offers nothing special to set it apart from the competition, while offering a dull cast of characters, an unnecessary storyline that took off without any prior player engagement.

Concord is an expensive game that offers little to justify its price tag, lacking in charisma and, worse still, lacking in audience support. As a GaaS, it exemplifies how destructive this business model can be when poorly planned. Unfortunately, the game met its fate, with servers scheduled to be temporarily suspended on September 6, 2024, less than a month after launch. Firewalk Studios’ first venture shows competence, but it is destined to be remembered as the biggest failure of 2024 and, possibly, of the PlayStation brand itself.

If you’re absolutely itching for a new hero shooter to check out, I definitely think you can have some fun with Concord, but if you’re still on the fence, you might be better off waiting just a bit longer to see how or if Concord can overcome its rocky launch.
Concord tenta inspirar-se noutros jogos semelhantes, mas as personagens, gameplay e história do jogo são demasiados genéricos para justificarem um preço de 39.99€.

Concord is not a bad title, it is polished in some details, fun in some mechanics, and you can see the passion of the developers for the project, which, however, seems to be a victim of the changing times. With more content it could have created its own niche, which would have guided the developers to significantly wiser choices on the gameplay and modes offered.

All in all, Concord feels like a missed opportunity that arrived far too late. It’s as if the game is trying to recapture the magic of a bygone era, but the spark just isn’t there.
