Chorus Reviews
Chorus does an admirable job of trying to carve out its own identity in a genre that deserves the attention, but it just doesn't stick the landing. If you're a fan of arcade spaceship shooters and narrative adventures there's probably enough here to chew over, but there's just not much that Chorus has to offer that hasn't already been done better elsewhere. Despite being set in a gorgeous pocket of space and offering up some interesting ideas it sadly misses the mark in just about every way.
In the end, Chorus provided a great experience overall. While a few kinks need working out, the amount of entertainment I got from it greatly surpassed my expectations and will surely satisfy fans of the genre.
If you can look past the flaws, there are some real highs in the kinetic brilliance on display in the fight and flight element of Chorus, making it worth considering, even if it can’t be wholeheartedly recommended based on all elements of the game.
Chorus shines with a couple of very good ideas that, gameplay-wise, are very well crafted. The storytelling, the UI and the quest design, on the other hand, are far from perfect.

When you’re engaging your enemies in the middle of deep space, boosting then drifting to rotate your ship around and snipe three or more enemies with your laser rifle before warping behind another and switching to your missiles to unleash a mighty payload, there’s nothing else quite like it.
With a solid gameplay loop, a variety of side missions, and an engaging, original story that doesn't overstay its welcome, Chorus delivers one of the best sci-fi experiences of the year.
All and all, Chorus isn’t typically my kind of game but it was a pretty fun little romp. The biggest problem I had with it was how repetitive it was – most of the side missions are pretty much the same kind of thing and the biggest boss battles are repeated with a few slight twists to make them a bit harder. Chorus is the perfect game to jump into and dink around for an hour or two before you zone out and move on to something with a little more substance.
Epic space expedition with some great components, but some weak points as well.

Chorus is one of the best space shooters today. A fun, attractive game that amazes you just by seeing and entering its world, but that falls short for its repetitive missions and lack of additional elements.

Chorus is a veritable smorgasbord of action, exploration, and captivating story. One that I'll enjoy for many moons to come.
Chorus is a good space combat arcade game, but it's a budget title and it shows. Because of a weak story and sometimes boring open world Chorus won't be remembered for too long.

Chorus is full of great ideas that some are executed properly and some are not, and while the visuals look solid, they aren't exactly "new generation", and eventually prevent the game from being a hit.

Chorus is a fun experience that offers a smooth and elaborate gaming system with beautiful graphics and unique melodies but has suffered some negatives that have had an impact on the final evaluation, an experience that we recommend from those looking for a pure gaming experience away from storytelling and diversity of content.

At its best moments, Chorus is an intense space fighter that takes you to some gorgeous locations. However, the weak plot and technical issues hold it back from its full potential.
Chorus game turns the gamer into Nara, the pilot of the Forsyken spacecraft, to fight small and large enemy spaceships to protect the free people. The charm of flying in a large galaxy filled with eye-catching landscapes is so remarkable that if you love space battles and high-speed maneuvers at zero gravity, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to experience this work by Deep Silver.

Chorus may not be as interesting and addictive as Wing Commander or Star Wars Squadrons, but it has great potential. If you get through a boring start, Nara will take you on an intense adventure.

Overall, Chorus is a fun arcade-style space shooter. The open world isn't super engaging, and the plot can be a touch messy, but they're secondary to the fun of piloting your super ship as you spin, shoot lightning, and turn into lasers. If you're in the mood for an entertaining and punchy space shooter with some cool mechanics, then Chorus fits the bill. I wish the plot were better conveyed and there were more variety in side-quests, but that certainly doesn't mar the experience. At the end of the day, you're blowing up Cthulhus with your magic space anime powers, and isn't that all it needs to be?
Chorus provides both solid space dogfights with intuitive controls and a distinctly presented story that remains engaging throughout. It may have its maddening moments that hold it back from greatness but it's still an impressively promising original IP.
Chorus is a solid title that tries and, for the most part, succeeds at taking the space sim genre in an exciting new direction. The game doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to combat and offers an intriguing story that, while difficult to follow at times, does a great job at immersing you into this dark and sometimes bizarre universe.
Well rounded, brilliantly designed and engaging, it’s a space shooter with a lot of heart and soul that keeps you on your toes and eager for more.
