Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

I love guardians of the galaxy (comics AND the movies) and when I saw this game was gonna come out I freaked out, but realized that many superhero games is actually very bad, but THIS GAME... it's on of my best experiences in video games ever ,

the gameplay is simple but feels very advanced , tricky and cool (combat wise) , the story is a straight forward story , with chapters and this is my reason this got 9/10 : because I can see when the story ends.. you know it is 12 chapters and when I was on chapter 12 I stopped playing and had a long break,

but after a while I started to miss these crazy voice actors because they did a REALLY good job with this game like they're life depended on it or something , it feels like they've been sitting in the studio for HOURS just having fun dialogues and added it in the game.

It's no silence if ur stuck and trying to find for example a way out or can't find something ur looking for they will have convos about everything. But not to much and not to little , your never lonely or bored while playing this game , and the story is so different from the films, it's it's own story.

I really hope more people buy this game and gives it a try because I put this on the list with: Fallout 4 - the last of us - red dead redemption.

And I forgot to tell you, if you love rock or just simply everything Peter quill (Star lord) listens to its in the game and the timing on the music is perfect with an elite soundtrack on scenes with instrumentals.

It's not that long but the game is amazing and makes you DEFINITELY wanna play it again!

After the Avengers game Square Enix had to pull one out out the bag with this one to save face. Well I personally think this is a corker of a game. Been a fan of both the comics and the moves is was so happy to see all the references to characters an event that have taken place, the history is based more of the comics and dose a good job of giving info of the individual guardians back stories with collectibles to fine during the storie. The designs of the characters of familiar different and don't look quite so jarring as the faces in avengers which in my opinion still need changing.

Different Developers, sale publisher. So YES the game is different. Compare it to Mass Effect. Play as one character and control others thru commands. Simple right? Somewhat.

Mechanics are alright. Moderate Auto Aim, overheating on blasters, quick reflexes and of course which character to use for what enemy. Now all of them have a weakness which the tutorial will show you how. Downside was the jet boots. Only got for short jumps? Lame.

Graphics... HOLY S*it!!! PS4/PS5/XBox... who cares?! Take a minute and just admire how much damn work these people put in to make this ascetically pleasing, visually captivating. Granted it's no Marvel movie but you get a moment to really enjoy the work. The detail is pretty massive.

The characters themselves are all motion capture which you'll notice, nothing spectacular but what you do notice is the dialogue between all the characters. Just the normal back and forth between traveling. Especially Drax. He's more witty and somewhat intelligent.

Soundtrack. It's GoTG. Do I need to say more?

Just know the runthrough is anywhere between 18-25 hrs. Yes the decisions affect some parts of the game so choose wisely. But overall. It's comedic, upbeat, just single player fun. No BS. Just fun.

I am really pleasantly surprised with this game.

When I first saw the trailer, I, like many people, was not convinced. I think it was the scars from Square Enix's frankly awful Avengers game that made me less than excited for this release. But since seeing some more gameplay on IGN I thought I'd give it a shot... and I'm glad I did. This is a really fun, straight from a comic kind of game. And also.... really quite funny and well written. The colours and themes are beautiful and the game has a lot of heart. Gameplay can be a bit lacking in places (you can only play as Star Lord for starters), but overall significantly better than I thought it would be. We should encourage devs to make single player story games more often, so please do buy this one- you won't regret it.

I was skeptical at first (like I think most people were) because of the disaster caused by the Avengers game. I didn't think Avengers was entirely garbage but once you did the story lines there really isn't anything worth doing. This game however is completely different a huge huge improvement. For starters there are no microtransaction. It's single player only and you can only play Star Lord. I'm only about 3 hours into the game so far but the story is great, it's funny, gameplay is pretty different from anything I've played but still fun once you figure it out. I'd say the biggest flaw is not being able to play any of the other Guardians but even that isn't bad. It would be nice but not a huge deal.

Overall pretty solid game. I would definitely recommend it and say not to be worried after everything Avengers game related.
