    Красивая но феминизованная игра. Через чур пафосная. Вопшем все каноны фемок соблюдины. Сюжет так себе. Но видна рука типа эфективных менеджеров. Буду играть во второй раз? Оннозначно нет. Very feminized game. Game for one time. Storyline normal.Красивая но феминизованная игра. Через чур пафосная. Вопшем все каноны фемок соблюдины. Сюжет так себе.

    I think this game does certain things very well, but is definitely held back by some lacking design choices.

    Pros -Smooth combat and very few glitches - Gaining abilities over time, which makes Nara/Forsa more powerful, and well designed. - Overall atmosphere is very good and serious tone - Did like the enemy variety for the most part Cons -Voice acting for the most part is    I think this game does certain things very well, but is definitely held back by some lacking design choices.

    Pros
    -Smooth combat and very few glitches
    - Gaining abilities over time, which makes Nara/Forsa more powerful, and well designed.
    - Overall atmosphere is very good and serious tone
    - Did like the enemy variety for the most part

    Cons
    -Voice acting for the most part is forgettable, other than when Nara and Forsa complete eachother's sentences
    - Characters are bland
    - Lack of music, and where there is music it's not memorable
    -Very hard to determine enemies and objects on screen at times
    - Some of the big fights are way too difficult at times as there's too much going on the screen and annoying to dodge
    - Open environment needed more icons/markers as it would ALWAYS be annoying to find the upgrade shop
    - Story is hard to understand at times. I had difficulties keeping up with the storyline and references that Nara would make, and didn't get what was happening in cutscenes. Due to lack of a good storyline, kind of hard to feel connected to the story and can become a bore to get through the story
    - Hearing Nara's "thoughts/whisperering" got annoying after awhile and still don't understand why it was so heavily used.
    -somewhat disappointing ending

    Overall, the game is worth a playthough, but definitely recommend to get it on sale. The game does need improvements to make it have replayability.    … Expand

    Solid AA space fighter game. Keep in mind that for me, a 6/10 is a good score. I am not IGN.

    “Chorus” has some solid space fighter mechanics. Left stick controls speed. Right stick controls direction. Lots of weapons are selected by lots of other buttons. If “Star Wars: Squadrons” had been so simple, I would have played more than 20 minutes of it. If the game had stayed this simple I    Solid AA space fighter game.

    “Chorus” has some solid space fighter mechanics. Left stick controls speed. Right stick controls direction. Lots of weapons are selected by lots of other buttons. If “Star Wars: Squadrons” had been so simple, I would have played more than 20 minutes of it. If the game had stayed this simple I would have given it a 10/10. Some genres do not need innovation.

    Like most space fighters, Chorus ignores the lack of friction and atmosphere. This lack of detail is not so bad as the dogfights in space were the impetus for the thrilling dogfights in “Star Wars”. But Chorus goes further by adding additional abilities as superpowers. The first ability is drifting. Let’s be real about space. Any space ship will drift. Stopping drift is the problem for a space shift. Way, way back in the 1990s, games like Wing Commander had perfect “drifting” in space as a method of attack. Looking at the trophies for Chorus, only 10% have the trophy for obtaining 50 kills while drifting. This is how badly the drifting mechanic is handled. As the game progresses, the player unlocks the ability to teleport behind enemy ships. This becomes the most useful power and kind of a cheat that spoils the fun of pulling an Immelmann. To compensate for the player’s power, the game will spawn many, many enemies that unavoidable laser beams. What could be a game of dodge and weave become a ware of attrition.

    Chorus furthers its sins with multiple unskippable “memory” segments. Cutscenes are thankfully unskippable but the vast majority of in-game storytelling is not. I kept my phone handy so I could read through work e-mails, read news, or do anything more interesting than Chorus’s story. The idea of the story is not terrible and some of the bosses are interesting. Sometimes, though, the characters will gather in their ships and talk as if they are standing in a room together. The game could have used some faces on screens or holo displays or something to make this storytelling less awkward.

    Full disclosure: Chorus was a PlayStation Plus offering. Certainly not a free game but also not a full price purchase. The major cost was my time.

    All-in-all, Chorus is a solid AA space fighter game. It does not reach the heights of legendary games like X-Wing or Wing Commander but in an era bereft of such games, you might find Chorus to be worth your time.    … Expand

    Much more than a shooting gallery, Chorus is an enjoyable adventure that stumbles a bit over its own design. Come for a singalong – you’ll soon know the words. [Issue#10, p.88]

    A bit of a surprise, this one, a full-blooded space shooter that could sometimes throw a bit less at you but in the end stays fun and engaging. What a debut for the inexperienced team!

    Despite a few flaws, in particular with regard to the structure of the scenario, the excessive presence of dialogues, an insignificant soundtrack and framerate drops, Chorus is the nice surprise of the end of 2021.
