Chorus Reviews
Chorus relies a lot on the show and he does it well. With its mystical atmosphere, it offers us a space opera with majestic sets, epic soundtrack and very dynamic space battles. We can, of course, regret the maps too empty outside the missions and a certain repetitiveness of the proposals made in the appendix of the main story, as well as a limited diversity of armament and anecdotal decisions, but the extreme maneuverability of the ship and the feeling of power that we have to pilot it, using the powers at our disposal, is clearly enjoyable.

There are not that many space combat games out there, so Chorus could be a good pick if you like an action packed and ready-to-go game that doesn't require you to study astrophysics like Elite o Star Citizen. The drawback is that, mechanics wise, Chorus is fairly repetitive, and not that mechanically deep. It could still be a good choice if you're aching to shoot space lasers, but in a couple of hours you might realize you're becoming more of a space tourist than an ace pilot.

Chorus might ostensibly look like any other space shooter, but, discounting a few annoyances, it has some cool ideas of its own, and frenetic action that will pull you right in like a tractor beam.
While the story is nonsense and some of the elements don't feel that great, Chorus' high-intensisty space combat is so good it leaves me wanting more every time.
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 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.

Epic space expedition with some great components, but some weak points as well.

Chorus is a slick, well made game and fans of the genre will find a lot to like, and perhaps even love here. It controls like a dream, looks gorgeous to boot and while the plot left me a bit cold at times, it’s hard not to admire the work and effort put in overall. If you want to become an ace pilot working with a surly sentient space fighter to take down an evil empire and free the galaxy this Christmas, you’d be hard pressed to find a better use of your time.
Chorus is a good mix for those who enjoy the science fiction genre, as well as a great choice for those who love action games with a lot of combat, agility and challenge. Easily one of the best of the year for those looking for action in the space pilot genre.

Chorus winds up being very open-ended, and players may have a greatly altered experience. How one builds and modifies the Forsaken will play a big part in how the game feels.
More arcade shooter than sim, Chorus fits into the long tradition of space dogfight games. Its combat can be furious and fun, but some missions suffer from repetition, some mechanical weirdness and poor pacing. Chorus takes itself and its story too seriously for its own good. In place of plain, old fashioned joy at blowing up stuff in space, we get angsty, mystical mumbo jumbo and a spacecraft with a guilt complex.
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.

Not everything works well in Chorus, but its inventive, hectic space shootouts deserve to have their praises sung
An extremely solid space combat simulator that struggles in terms of storytelling, and doesn't entirely justify its open world approach, but still offers an enjoyably unique experience.
Chorus can be an entertaining space combat adventure at times, but the mediocre moments take a considerable toll.
Space action junkies will eat this one up and those with next-gen consoles that are new-game-thirsty could do much worse than this interstellar tale of redemption.
Chorus is a mostly good game, with excellent dogfighting and gameplay that always feels fun to pull off. It also looks gorgeous and can make for an entertaining narrative, even if it's not really breaking the mold too much with its plot. Still, it's almost tragic how poorly the game's ending lets down the rest of the solid work that made everything else about it so brilliant.
Although the basic storyline may be largely nonsensical, you'll come across a nice selection of characters to assist on your travels, all of whom are fully voice acted with their own minor backstories. Nara and Forsaken often exchange pleasantries, but their conversations can sometimes come across a bit clinical, and would have benefited greatly from a bit of added humour.
Chorus is a half-successful product. The guys at Deep Silver Fishlabs have actually shaped a galvanizing combat system and supported by gameplay mechanics that are well suited to the genre of space combat shooters, but the exploratory component almost completely devoid of indications and the poor readability of the action penalize the playful system. If on the one hand we are satisfied with the work done on the narrative front, there is still a long way that the Hamburg studio will have to travel to transform Chorus into the promised product. The redemption of Nara, in short, can not yet be said to be completely achieved.

Chorus is a worthy Space Shooter, with a very enjoyable gameplay, even if gets repetitive at some point. The real let down is the story which is quite boring, and told through weird means, like the inaudible thaughts of Nara. But there is a demo available, so try it before you buy it !
