This structure, a long dangling spire encircled by huge metal rings, is perfect for weaving dogfights, looping around its protrusions (and sometimes, admittedly, bouncing off them) in pursuit of speedy cult 'raven' fighters.

I really began to understand how precise this system can be when I reached my first sizeable battle against the Circle, fighting to defend 'the Enclave' – the resistance HQ in the game's opening sector.

After blowing up an entire planet on their command, she had a crisis of conscience, and now she's helping the resistance to resist. The pilot of this one-seater triangular jet, Nara, has special powers, you see, and is intent on using them to destroy a genocidal cult called the Circle, which used to count her as one of its most prestigious members. Next to all these giant natural and human-made wonders, your own ship feels insignificant, although of course it's anything but. Indeed, given the limited scope of environments, Chorus is surprisingly colourful, with looming planets and distant stars casting light through the rocks and debris from past wars.

It's better to simply sub-light drive between missions, maybe pick up a distress signal on the way, while taking in the view.

Nor is it worth exploring much without some idea where you're heading, since, well, a lot of it is empty. Technically, I suppose, it's not open-world because it doesn't have a world, only miles of space, clusters of asteroids, and great metal constructions floating in the void.
