Concord Reviews
Concord largely nails the fundamentals - it feels highly responsive, is handsomely made, has good feeling, if slower gunplay than other games, super stable servers and minor concerns aside, has a roster of mostly well balanced characters. With Concord's obviously passionate team of developers confirming that they are absolutely in it for "years to come", I would love for Concord to still be around in one, two or three years time and even beyond that. I just don't know if gamers who have been experiencing varying amounts of genre fatigue will be generous enough to put a significant amount of time into a title that, on the starting blocks at least, seems roundly decent enough but doesn't offer anything thunderously new to upset the status quo. I know that I'll be playing Concord in the weeks and months to come, I'm just not sure a sufficient number of other folks will be joining me.
Concord is not a bad hero shooter, but neither a good one. It has really nothing special to offer in relation to other game of the same genre that are free to play, and it lacks of a distinctive characteristic. The lore is not original, the characters are not memorable, the shooting is not very good and the gameplay modes are few and old.

Concord is a clean and well-meaning first-person shooter, with no shady business practices to boot. Its lack of real identity is an issue, and it's difficult to determine just how much Sony is going to get behind it long-term. However, there's a polished and beautifully presented experience on offer here, with some interesting tactical team-building systems and sublime animations. Firewalk's debut may not be out of this world, but it's genuinely pretty good overall.
Concord is a hero shooter with an effective graphic sector and a really fun gunplay, characteristics that however fail to stand out due to the presence of not insignificant problems, both in terms of the balance of the roster and in terms of the characterization of the individual fighters.

Concord doesn't stand out much compared to the other free multiplayer games on the market, so you're not really missing out on much. It's sad to say, but with this poor performance, Sony will eventually give in and make it a free game; That's the only way I would recommend it.

Concord is not a horrible game or an industrial accident, but it is not up to other competitors. Even more after eight years of development. If the SF universe and the mood The Guardians of the Galaxy are interesting at first, it would have been better exploited with a solo mode annex for example. Although the variety of heroes and their skills is one of the qualities of the title, we regret the relative softness of the set, the lack of sensations of some powers and originality in the modes. In the end, after a few hours, and except for this test, we have trouble thinking that we will play it again.

Concord is an incredibly distinct PvP shooter in an incredibly busy space. Tight, polished gameplay drives its diverse cast along a number of memorable maps. Distinctly old-school in its execution, it is multiplayer game stripped of annoyance and packed with fun.
Concord gets the fundamentals right: unique characters, strong art direction and tightly designed combat make for thrilling matches with Crew Bonuses adding a welcome extra level of strategy. Uninteresting progression, unrealised storytelling potential and a lack of personality hold it back, but a commitment to the content roadmap and worldbuilding could salvage things. I am hopeful Firewalk Studios can turn things around given the chance.
Concord is an immense waste of resources (and it's not even a free-to-play), a project that also runs the risk of not being able to recover in the long run.

Firewalk Studios' Concord constrains all of its imagination on the Galactic Guide, leaving little for the gameplay. Responsive gunplay and vibrant visuals can only go so far, especially when the competition is doing better for free.
Concord has a few interesting ideas, but its live service trappings, lacklustre game design and mediocre level design keep it from being truly great.
Although it brings solid and fun gameplay, Concord fails in several other aspects, including its competitive modes and the lack of charisma of its characters. It's an average experience that can be fun in short doses and rewarding to the player who invests time, but doesn't do enough to hook him.

it is a quality title under the auspices of Sony. A precise and technically flawless affair that lacks ingredients such as distinctive distinctive content and understanding the market's needs.

Concord has a solid foundation and interesting ideas; however, its bland cast of characters and lack of innovation make it a generic and unappealing hero shooter destined to fail, especially considering its $40 USD price tag. It's not a bad game, but is something much worse: an unnecessary product that fails to understand the market it competes in. Simply put, there are better and more enjoyable free alternatives out there

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

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.
