Chorus Reviews

Fun third party flying game. Not too difficult, not too simple and the pacing was just right

Cant deal with that Whispering oh my lord SHUT UP!!! Shame cos it seemed fun, but sorry just no way can I listen to that anymore

I would have not recommended this game if every other instance of the combat wasn't absolutely phenomenal, and the following things I listed weren't worth it. The visuals, graphics, environments, music, and combat, are worth the $8 for me. I love how gorgeous the space looks, all the environments felt like real space, among the asteroids and belts near the planets. The music was fantastic, energizing me in all the moments that it needed to, and giving great backing to the moments and cutscenes. I wish there were even more moments of the music coming through. And the combat is peak. Teleporting behind enemies, drifting and side-swiping ships, doing strafing runs on larger ships, even bigger ships where you can fly in and out and pull off awesome destruction runs, I loved the space combat. And that's where the meat of the game is. The meat of this game is not in the story, nor is it in the boss fights. The boss fights where you take on a single ship, just you and the other ship, which happens twice in a mini-boss circumstance, are awful. You barely deal any damage, and the game actively punishes you for using your abilities on them. They drop tons of mines, have a nuke ability, regen their shields fast, and sometimes even ignore you shutting off their ship engines. I would stun a boss ship and she would continue to fly her ship in curves anyway, even opening up on me with a bunch of her guns despite her visibly spinning. How does that make sense? And the final boss has geometry problems that cut off a lot of your openings for damaging it a lot, in the second phase that happens a few times. The first phase of the final boss had me apathetic about the game where I actually struggled with motivation to want to finish the game. It wasn't hard, it was boring. So little chances to actually do damage. I spent so long just flying around trying to keep the shields down before I could do an ounce of damage, and he'd regen the shields fast. I even got what was potentially a bug when he went into his second phase again and then GAINED BACK 20% HEALTH, from 45% up to 65% and I was so aghast I was again debating not playing this game through to completion. I wish they had played more of their own game in the big fights that mattered. It would have made me give this game a glowing review. This is a good game, but it's not a great game. Get it on sale to truly enjoy it.

So much fun. I have it on easy, not following the story that closely, just enjoying flying around and having space battles. Looks great, runs smooth, very happy! I bought it on sale a while ago, probably under $10 knowing me, but so far I would've paid $20 and still been happy.

bought for 3 euros on sale. generally ok. the girl's character is similar to the kid from Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, guilt complex, etc., generally ok. Pew pew is nice. The graphics are nice. I will probably finish the game. not a refund. --- купил за 3 евро на распродаже. вообще норм. деваха по характеру похожа мальца на бабцу из Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, комплекс вины и тд., в целом норм. Пиупиу приятное. Графон приятное. Пройду игру пожалуй. не рефунд.

it is an good game. the only things against it is, the boss fights that TOTALLY suck, the last boss will rage you like hell. that navigation inside small spaces is not very good. I will recommend it as long as you get it cheap

Amazing gameplay, simple mechanics, great story!

Oh man, what can I say... I love space battles so much! And this game is like the perfect blend of sci-fi and magic in space, muah! 💫 You get to use a mix of magical abilities, weapons, slick maneuvers, and full-on dogfights in open space. It feels incredibly cool 🤩. The environments are absolutely gorgeous, and the soundtrack slaps. Now, everything would be perfect... if only the story made sense. It tries to be deep and meaningful, but a lot of times it just ends up sounding like: "I'm losing... I might die..." and then proceeds to do some dattebayo-level space ninja technique out of nowhere 😵‍💫 Without the story: 9/10 ⭐ With the story: 7.5/10 ⭐ (You can skip the cutscenes, after all.) IN CHORUS!

Story is a little odd at points, but overall, for the price, the game is all right for being a ship combat experience. Could the controls be better? Frankly, yes. It is a bit clunky at times. I don't know that the game is as innovative and mysterious as intended, but it's all right. On sale, it's not a bad buy. Full price? Not so sure... I'd check it out first with the demo for anyone curious about the game.

The only thing holding Chorus back really is just the story and writing. Skip the cutscenes, zone out during the boring dialogue, ignore the cringey whispering, and you’ll find the gameplay is highly satisfying. Visually stunning, too, and it runs flawlessly out of the box on Steam Deck. For $3.74 (the deepest sale I’ve seen yet) you really can’t go wrong here.
