    I’m not going to lie; I LOVE everything about this game. In fact, the only thing I wish is that I was able to get out of the ship and walk around as Nara. Much like the Galaxy on Fire series all conversations happen in ship, unless it’s a cutscene. But even that is not really worth counting as a strike against the game because literally everything else is such a smooth experience. While the story can get a bit confusing, if players are fans of breakneck speeds, and thrilling dogfights in space then Chorus is going to be right up your alley. I cannot wait to see what Deep Silver Fishlabs can do with a sequel to this game or even some DLC, with the world that has been created here it really would be a shame to let it go to waste.

    Deep Silver Fishlabs has spent a lot of time developing space-combat shooter games; they also developed the Galaxy on Fire series, and I think all of that time has culminated in a stand-out product here in Chorus. Taking the gameplay elements found in a typical 3D action RPG and applying them to a space flight game works tremendously well. Flying around the levels is a blast, the combat is enjoyable, and the story is more substantial than I expected, which was good and bad, as sometimes I wished the characters would shut up so I could get back into the action. If playing a space-combat shooter with an action RPG structure sounds at all interesting then you should consider checking out Chorus.

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

    Chorus quickly hooks you with it’s fast and satisfying gameplay, but slows down like a truck by it’s third act, making the final hours a little bit of a chore.

    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.

    Chorus is a half-successful product. The guys from Deep Silver Fishlabs have actually shaped a galvanizing combat system supported by gameplay mechanics that are well suited to the space combat shooter genre, 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 declare ourselves satisfied with the work done on the narrative front, there is still a long road that the Hamburg studio will have to travel to transform Chorus into the promised product. In short, the redemption of Nara cannot yet be said to be fully achieved.

    There’s a solid space shooter buried beneath Chorus’ many bumps and bruises. Unfortunately, however, I’m not sure many players will be willing to dig beyond its myriad technical issues and more frustrating moments to find it. And honestly, that’s a real shame. Because with a bit more polish and refinement, Fishlabs’ latest offering could have been a space opera to remember with its unique story and exciting blend of sci-fi action and creepy occult mysticism. If you’re willing to overlook its problems, Chorus offers about a dozen hours of dogfighting action to keep you busy. But you’re going to need plenty of patience if you hope to break the Circle.

Ca faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas pris autant mon pieds sur un space opera. Beau, avec une bande son excellente (à faire au casque pour profiter de la plage sonore), ambiance au top, il réussit à mélanger style RPG, semi open world et shoot spatial. Le tout avec un scénario pas si mal que ça.
    Avec une très bonne durée de vie (surtout si vous faites les quêtes annexes), son seul défaut est de ne pas proposer de vue cockpit.
    Une très belle surprise et un jeu qui aurait mérité bien plus de publicité.    … Expand

The idea of ​​the story is very well congenital between spiritualism and technology, finally a breath of conceptual novelty in the field of videogame storytelling. Beautiful, beautiful and fun.

    I felt compelled to give a shout out to what seems like the underdog game of the season. I've always been a fan of the space flight shooterI felt compelled to give a shout out to what seems like the underdog game of the season. I've always been a fan of the space flight shooter style game since the Wing Commander days, so I'm naturally going to be all in for a new entry into a under represented genre. I'm fully impressed with Chorus so far after 10 hours or so. Graphics are spectacular, controls are tight and fun. The drifting/jumping mechanic is a fresh new addition that makes combat insanely fast and agile. Tearing through the inside of a capital ship or base is intense and thrilling. Take all that with an interesting plot and unique mythology which leans into fantasy elements also sets Chorus apart from other games in the genre. I have some mild 'wants' from the game - I wish the controls allowed for direct 'roll' control instead of the dodge. You can click the stick to reorient, but I'd love to be able to control my orientation on my own. Cockpit view would also be very cool, but probably deadly dizzying. Some misfires with combat dialogue - you're ship's AI says pretty dumb and repetitive things during battle. HUD can get kind of cluttered and difficult to read at many times - especially when it uses the same white triangle icon for too many different things. Lastly, some of the sub quests seemed glitched and required hard resets to work. The time-lock puzzles are also not as fun as the developers probably thought. They can get pretty frustrating. Here's hoping that they're not too common.… Expand
