Chorus is a space combat video game played from a third-person perspective. The game's protagonist, Nara, pilots a sentient starcraft known as Forsaken. Forsaken can be armed with a variety of weapons such as missile launchers, gatling guns and laser cannons. Forsaken also has three slots for mods, which can be used to alter the ship's performance in combat. The game is set in an open world, and the players can complete various optional quests. As Nara explores the world, she will encounter various ancient temples. Upon exploring these temples and solving puzzles, Nara will gain aether powers that grant her new combat abilities.

Reception
Chorus received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, while the PS5 version received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. The game won Best German Game at Deutscher Computerspielpreis in 2022. Jon Bailes of GamesRadar+ wrote that the game "conjured the feel of a good Star Wars scene", praising its ship designs, space battles, controls, and special powers while criticizing the bland story and bad bosses. Dan Stapleton of IGN praised the game's scenery and dogfights while calling the story "respectable even though it threatens to drown you in lore." Ollie Reynolds of Push Square praised the slick combat, DualSense feedback, side missions and accessibility options while criticizing the poor dialogue, low framerate, and in-game map. In February 2022, Embracer Group (parent company of Deep Silver) revealed that Chorus had failed to meet sales expectations.
