Concord Preview: Fun Competitive FPS With Depth
is shooting for the moon. As a noteworthy up-and-comer to the tumultuous pool of team-based FPS hero shooters, there's a lot still left to reveal, but there's definitely something special at its core. Developed in-house at Sony’s own Firewalk Studios, makes for an ambitious and tantalizing debut for its developer, with a decidedly diverse cast of characters and a pleasing sense of kinetic movement and verticality to the action.
