Concord

On a basic level, Concord is solid and polished, but that isn't enough to make the experience truly compelling. A shotgun blast approach that attempts to hit the basic notes of every hero shooter prerogative makes it harder for it to do one thing in a truly fresh way, and the casual modes would be more exciting with bigger abilities and maps with more interesting pressure points. Concord may ultimately live or die according to its Rivalry mode, which could prove whether it has one thing that truly works or just a lot that earns a passing grade. [Review in Progress]
