The game's description for the Potion of Speed says concentration is required. The Basic Rules say no concentration is required for the imbiber. If the description correctly reflects the implementation in Solasta, is this an intentional deviation?
I've never used this potion, but have you tried to imbibe it and check if the concentration is indeed applied? Might be just a mislabelling.
Noticed the same thing, used the potion of speed and got hit immediately losing concentration and becoming stunned.
I've run into this as well. If Solasta is trying to implement 5e rules wherever possible, this is a bug. Specifically in DMG. page 141 of the 5e rules it state specifically that potions bypass casting a spell. As such, they should not require concentration as there is nothing to concentrate on. It makes potions pretty useless in this game.
DMG. page 141
" Many items, such as potions, bypass the casting of a spell and confer the spell's effects, with their usual duration. "
The DMG also says "Certain items make exceptions to these rules". And Crawford himself stated that concentration spells cast from items require the item user's concentration.

Well, this part is actually implemented, I believe. When my Wizard casts Guardian Spirits from the Wardenblade, she has to concentrate on it.
