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.

Not only one of the best Marvel games in awhile but also just a damn good game in general. Controlling your teammates is a little annoying but I don't know how they could of done it any better. Definitely worth picking up and hopefully DLC is coming soon.

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.

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.
