Previewers find positive aspects in Concord's colorful cast of alien characters, enjoyable gunplay, and teamwork opportunities. The game's personality and hero-specific abilities also contribute to its engaging gameplay. Additionally, the game is praised for its potential as a competitive shooter.

Concord's PS5 shooter initially received criticism for its character designs, being called "ugly" and generic2. It was also criticized for being a live service game instead of a single-player, narrative-driven experience. Additionally, some gamers felt that the game looked uninspired and unoriginal, comparing it to other existing hero shooters.

Concord's gameplay shares similarities with Overwatch, as both are team-based hero shooters with unique characters and abilities. However, Concord introduces deployables and no-respawn modes, adding tactical depth4. It also features a crew card deckbuilding system, setting it apart from Overwatch4. While both games focus on competitive FPS action, Concord aims to offer a fresh experience with its blend of familiar mechanics and innovative features4.
