Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

Underrated Gem - One of the Best Superhero Games

This game blew me away! I am honestly really sad that it did poorly financially because that means we probably will never get a sequel.

Here are the positives:

• The graphics are truly next-gen. The game looks incredible.

• The story is super fun with lots of twists and turns. It is incredibly well paced. Expect 15-20 hours.

• Great achievement design. You can get them all in one play through if you are intentional with collectibles (which are not excessive).

• The combat is very fun. You play as Star Lord but command the whole team with special abilities and group combos. It is very satisfying and fun. Ability progression is perfectly balanced throughout the game. Love the combat!

• Movement feels great.

• The villain is awesome and very comic book accurate!

• The cast is easily the best part. You will love this version of the guardians. There is a ton of heart and growth amongst each member throughout the game and their ability progression is tied to them overcoming past struggles. Really well done in the character department.

• This game is also hilarious. I love funny games (Sunset Overdrive and High on Life for example). I consistently laughed through the whole game. Great writing.

Negatives

• The end drags on for a laugh or two and it hurts the pacing of a otherwise great final fight.

• The puzzle design is just fine.

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.

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!

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 going in because of how disappointing The Avengers game was but GOTG is a lot of fun. The characters are all done well and have funny dialogue between each other. The story is interesting and keeps you invested. The gameplay is great and combat sequences are a blast. The cooperative element with the team puts it over the top. The game is also visually appealing and looks fantastic. Ready for some DLC. Great game and definitely worth your time.
