    Chorus is a veritable smorgasbord of action, exploration, and captivating story. One that I’ll enjoy for many moons to come.

    By the time I rolled credits, there was no doubt that Chorus was the best space combat game I’ve played in years. The thrill of dynamic space combat coupled with a compelling narrative and overall superb design make this one an absolute a must-play.

    The space battles in Chorus are good, piloting its agile super-powered fighter through enemy fire while devastating hordes of enemies is fun. This efficient gameplay is its strength, and the special powers are well integrated into the gameplay. The fights tend to become too easy, but the boss battles compensate. The exploration is unfortunately not there as the open world is empty, it is more an excuse for dialogues and additional battles. However, it has the merit of being very pleasant to look at. The realization is quite good, whether it is through the graphics, the music, and even the cinematics and dialogues. So, we spend a good time on Chorus, during the twenty hours to finish it the first time.

    Chorus is an epic space expedition with some great components, but some weak points as well. All this does not mean that you will not enjoy it, but do not expect anything special from it

    Chorus can be an entertaining space combat adventure at times, but the mediocre moments take a considerble toll.

    Chorus is a game that works in the sense that it doesn't crash your desktop, but it's just an ambulatory shell with mere vestiges of soul left in it.

    Female Space Jesus Saves the Universe Again But It's Actually **** Great

    Don't listen to other negative bozos. The game is incredible. The gameplay is smooth and satisfying, after you get used to the drifting mechanic and get some powers, fights become a blast and a real power trip - you can turn around and shoot the enemies chasing you while speeding past turrets, teleport behind a gunship and disable it with a lighting strike, and charge up a missile cluster to blow it up to kingdom come. It's great!
    The environment is very well designed, you get put in a somewhat big maps with a lot of side content to explore and 2-3 longer main missions. The skyboxes look incredible, and the artstyle really shines through the enemy design.
    The main story took a bit of a backseat for me, though it is still fairly entertaining and engaging. I mainly focused on the side mission storylines, which can be very interesting - an abandoned space station with only a couple of drones left standing, a mysterious vessel with a corpse of a famous explorer, a corrupted ancient AI trapped in a lightning storm. They're all fantastic.
    I really enjoy the game so far, at the time of publishing I have around 15 h in it, and I'm about at the halfway point while doing all side missions. I really recommend you buy the game if you enjoy space shooters, or you're just looking for a fun action experience.

I was waiting for the game's release, expecting a simple space arcade game, a roguelike at most. But I got a whole space rpg! This is not the usual formula of Elite-like games «get on the station, take a mission, fly it out, repeat». Everything happens right in space, as in the usual open world rpg. There are many quests scattered around the map and even more random events, there is a pump for the things you use more often (like in TES), there is an analogue of witcher senses, there are skills and inventory. Graphics and optimization for such a project is excellent. The local world in atmosphere a bit like Warhammer 40k, with its heresy and dark magic. User-friendly interface and controls on the PC. I really can't find any serious flaws in the game. And especially I do not understand why it has such low ratings. If you like games about space - play it for sure! Do A Barrel Roll!! Expand

The game controls really well, combat is fun, and there are some nice abilities to shake things up. Best of all, there's a large focus on story. That tends to go by the wayside with space sims.

    7/10 - Dobra
    (po graniu 17h i ukończeniu gry)
    Bardzo intrygujący świat, w porządku fabuła, prosta, dynamiczna i przyjemna walka.

    Szeptanie bohaterki do siebie tworzy ciekawy, lekko psychodeliczny, sekciarski klimat.

    Świat i relacje z postaciami są bardzo intrygujące, ale za mało wyjaśnione bywa odpowiednio wcześnie kto kim jest i co jak działa w tym świecie.
    Niektóre wydarzenia, które mogłyby być porywające, pojawiają się zbyt szybko i bez znajomości zasad działania świata są najwyżej ok i wydają się przerysowane.

    Gra sprawia wrażenie kontynuacji czegoś, aż zacząłem szukać, czy nią nie jest.

    Główny wątek fabularny w porządku, potrafi zainteresować.
    Zadania poboczne spoko, bez przerywników filmowych, ale mają otoczkę fabularną i żywe postacie.

    Półotwarty świat, kilka miejscówek, czasem sporych, mapa, znaki zapytania itd.

    Czytelność otoczenia średnia, gameplay nieskomplikowany, ale łatwy do opanowania.
    Bardzo dynamiczna, przyjemna, arcade'owa walka. Łatwo przy używaniu na bieżąco nowo zdobytych umiejętności.
    Dużo satysfakcji daje wlatywanie w środek większych statków by je rozwalać.

    System ulepszenia statku jest dosyć ubogi.
    Warto używać przedmiotów dających w zestawach premie, a większość zwykłych olać.
    Nie można ich sprzedawać, a kasy jest nadmiar i nie za bardzo jest na co wydawać.

    Annoying and stupidly designed. I'm stuck on the salvage mision, its literally the first 10 mins of the game. It says i need to salavageAnnoying and stupidly designed. I'm stuck on the salvage mision, its literally the first 10 mins of the game. It says i need to salavage something, but it doesn't tell you where you need to go, It just so fking stupid, what fking idiot though ok, first 10 mins of the game, we'll give them a mission where they have to find something, but we don't tell them where to go,

    You also can't save, why, because you can't save whilst on a mission, and your're always on a mission, as soon as you finish onem, it automatically starts a new one for you. Again, fking stupid, i don't understand how someone can spend years making a game, and make such a stupid fking design.
