Concord is a...nah, I'm just kidding. I've never played it, and I don't intend to. It has fewer than 1000 reviews though.
I only heard of it because no one played it
In a way, I do feel sad about that game. Big AAA offerings take a lot of time for a studio, and the reviews say there wasn’t too much wrong with the gameplay. When they first started development, they probably didn’t know how bloated the hero shooter genre would be.
A large part of what's wrong with Concord is the development time that it took, and I hope it serves as a cautionary tale to try to make game development leaner and more sustainable.
