Chorus

Chorus gives you fun and flashy superpowers that make its space dogfights stand out, along with its strong main characters and beautiful scenery.

The combat is the highlight, frantic and cinematic, but Chorus' open-world narrative ambitions let it down.

Ultimately, I just wish Chorus was pared down. The plot is full of B-movie pulp, but the game doesn’t seem interested in laughing at itself. There aren’t a lot of new ideas in the story, and the narrative isn’t delivered with grace. Will you like Chorus? That wholly depends on how much tolerance you have for everything packed around the spaceship combat.

Not everything works well in Chorus, but its inventive, hectic space shootouts deserve to have their praises sung

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

Despite a weak start, Chorus's over-the-top world and tone combine with slick dogfighting in space to make a potent package

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.

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' stellar space combat is brought down by a myriad of design choices that range from frustrating to outright annoying.

Chorus' ambitious and frenetic space combat makes for some satisfying dogfights, but its convoluted story doesn't stick the landing.
