Chorus Backlog Review – Is This Star Fox
Jason says, "Does Chorus do for me what Star Fox once did? To some extent, yes, and it improves upon the flight mechanics in a way that absolutely puts Nintendo’s star fighter to shame and makes you wonder why they can’t deliver this level of flight combat. Unfortunately, it ends up faltering in its far less interesting mission and side quest structures that lack variety in challenging you with said mechanics. It also justifies its price tag too heavily in quantity rather that in quality. Then there’s the balancing act in presenting itself to you: the look and feel, the absolute sense of scale and freedom, it all shows me things Star Fox SHOULD be doing, but it muddies itself behind a convoluted fuster cluck of world lore trying to dip its toe in literally everything sci-fi. Okay, Nintendo, give me Star Fox using flight mechanics like this and you’ve got a winner on your hands."
