Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call 'boomer shooters' now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!).

This one's for pre-orderers and both the PS5 andYou will have to make a PSN account from the get-go for this one—Sony's not makingI liked what I, but I wasn't able to try the PC version then. Returning to the comforting embrace of mouse and keyboard hasn't turned me into an FPS god against the PlayStation players, but at least I'm not running into walls anymore.
I continue to find Concord's story cutscenes a bit eye-rolley, but putting aside its attempts to be heartwarming, the presentation is strong. The only thing I really don't like about the UI is the match scoreboard, because it's hard to see at a glance how well you're performing compared to your teammates .
