    You just feel like this game was made with a soul, unlike the Avengers of the usual soulless garbage.

    Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy is a refreshing break from the torrent of micro-transaction laden "games as service" games out there. It's a linear single player experience with excellent visuals, a great story and is only let down by the combat mechanics which get fairly boring after a while.

    10/10 - Presentation, the game looks absolutely stunning with RTX enabled and I generally see RTX as a gimmick.

    10/10 - Story, this is what will keep you hooked and playing, tonnes of locations, characters and decent dialogue

    6/10 - Combat/Gameplay, I hope there will be a sequel to this game with more Arkham/Spiderman style combat, it has some nice features like calling in your team to help but beyond that there's not much to do but hold the trigger down.

    This Game is much better than Avengers. GOTG is a singelplayer game like Spider-Man or Uncharted. The Combat is satisfied, characters are great and the humor is AMAZING.

    This game is way better than everyone had expected including me. It had an amazing long well-written story. Multiple dialogues the characters had without repeating to each other. Also has a story that is fun and adventurous with lots of exploring to do for multiple suits for each character and currency you can find in hidden places for combat upgrades. Also there is no in-game currency andThis game is way better than everyone had expected including me. It had an amazing long well-written story. Multiple dialogues the characters had without repeating to each other. Also has a story that is fun and adventurous with lots of exploring to do for multiple suits for each character and currency you can find in hidden places for combat upgrades. Also there is no in-game currency and microtransaction, which is a fresh of breath air. The visual graphics is amazing, it is not intended to be realistic. It is supposed to feel like you are in the Guardians of The Galaxy movie and comic which did very well. Everything had really amazing detail if you looked slowly. It is way better than most games. The game artists team deserves more praise for the amazing 3D art and worlds they had created.

    The combat is really great and tactical. It has a way different feel than the Crystal Dynamics Avengers which is the most compared game to. You control Peter Quill which is the leader of the Guardians and command your Guardians to do what you want in combat or in situations when you need. The combat is smooth and plays well from my experience on the PS5 performance mode. There were a vast amount of amazing soundtrack that the game had. It had a vibe that felt similar to the Guardians of The Galaxy MCU films. It shows the connection whereas Peter Quill is in love with his music. Overall, this game is a surprise due to the hate it had received before the game came out. It was way better than I had expected and it is an experience that need to be seen in person rather than on videos. It's definetly one of the best marvel games next to insomniac Spider-Man games. Eidos Montreal seemed to worked hard and did a really great job with this game and hopefully they can continue with more in the future.

    Developers have probably spent all their budget on recording that many witty dialogues, but the battle system is still fine. There also were some pretty nice narrative moments I haven't seen in any other games. Overall it's a good buy and I'm looking forward for the sequel.

    Of the minuses, only bugs. Sometimes you had to reload the checkpoint due to the fact that your partner was stuck and he was not sent, in battle he was not, it was not possible to use his abilities.

    And so an excellent game, awesome music, a worthy plot.

    After Marvels Avegers I expected another disaster, but in the end I was very positively disappointed :) Great atmosphere, chemistry between the Guardians, great dialogues and probably the first dubbing I liked after The Witcher 3. A heavy dose of humor, a sense of purpose, a script that James Gunn would not be ashamed of. Great adventure! Did I mention great music? :)

    The real star here is the story and the TEAM itself. The constant banter between the members never fails to be fun and funny. The voice acting is top notch (even without the Hollywood talent) and each character stands on its own.

    The graphics too are really great - lots of color - lots of locales - and the textures all just pop really well. Its not "realistic" but that is to be expected in a sci-fi space adventure.

    As for the bugs that most other reviews are noting - I ran into zero crashes and only a few minor camera and sound bugs that never kept me from playing - simply a temporary annoyance.

    Marvel's Guardians of The Galaxy was under my radar for the whole time. I wasn't very interested in it and knowing it was from the same company that made the disappointing game Marvel's Avengers, I didn't have much hope. But to my surprise I found myself invested in the story, the world and especially the characters. Along with some solid gameplay and a kickass soundtrack. My previous worries quickly faded. This game offers a surprising amount of heart and some humor that was actually pretty funny. I loved the different conversations I'd listen to from all of the characters. There are 3 things that I didn't like. First off, I did experience a couple of bugs on the PS5 version and I would have to load a previous save and or checkpoint. Another complaint was that you couldn't control the other heroes and it was kind of a missed opportunity. And sometimes the camera would be placed in very bad places during conversations with characters. Other than those issues this game exceeded my expectations and is one of the best games of the year and I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of The Guardians of The Galaxy and is a fan of the other marvel games such as Spiderman. Overall a 9/10.

    Игра чисто сюжетная и линейная. Никакого дроча аванпостов и гринда. Несёшmся вперед и кайфуешь.
    Периодически основа сменяется общением на корабле или боями в космосе.
    Есть простые боссы.
    Это не шутер и в основном используешь лок на цели.
    Управляешь только Старлордом, с возможностью отдавать приказы напарникам. У него и у напарников по 4 скилла.
    Есть 4 стихии под разные ситуации или врагов.
    Старлорд стрелок, но есть и ближний бой. Рекомендую его активно использовать.
    Есть добивания, как у гг так и у напарников.
    Есть ульта. Во время неё надо воодушевить команду, потом включается музыка и тебя баффает.
    Можно летать и доджить на реактивных сапогах.
    Есть минимальная прокачка. Открываешь скиллы команды и апаешь статы Старлорда.
    Есть простейшее исследование. Ищешь ресы для прокачки и костюмы.

    Плюсы:
    + Нет опенворлд дроча.
    + Нет гринда шмоток и прочего. Тока чутка ресурсов и костюмов.
    + Шикарная музыка.
    + Прекрасная картинка.
    + Оптимизация. (Люди жалуются, но на моем ведре с 1060 шло нормально на ультрах.)
    + Хорошая озвучка.
    + Рокнрольная стилистика.
    + Лицевые анимации отличные.
    + Анимации в целом тоже очень хороши.
    + Местами хороший юмор.
    + Хороший сюжет.
    + Отличные персонажи и их развитие по сюжету.
    + Крутые катсцены.
    + Красивые женщины. (Внезапно! О_о)
    + Нет мерзотной повесточки. (2к21 ты ли это...)
    + Нет микротранзакций. (Даже сизонпасса. О_О)
    + Зрелищная боёвка с акробатикой и комбами напарников.
    + Крутой фоторедактор.
    Минусы:
    - Игра забагована сильно. Скрипты глючат, вылеты, текстуры глючат. Всё лечится рестартом с чекпоинта. Мне лично мешали только вылеты. Чекпоинтов много и рестарт меня не парил.

The game would have been better if you could switch characters to get all kinds of playstyle that the other characters already possess. The storyline is very linear and RPG elements of how you deal with other characters have very little impact on the endgame since the game has a single definitive ending. The game does hold some strong character and team-building moments which I loved. Overall its a great game and definitely deserved the GOTY for the Best Narrative at The Game Awards. Expand

    While the movement can be slightly clunky and there are a couple of bugs, they are minuscule compared to the story, characters, and world this game creates. All the characters fell alive and it feels lime you really are the leader of a team rather than a playable character with a bunch of lifeless NPCs occasionally talking.

They really topped the movie in this regard. The voice acting is superb and I actually prefer the game’s actors to some of the movie actors. Most of the performances provide so much depth to the characters and give you the ‘feels’ or make you laugh when intended. The pacing of the story and variety of the gameplay is top notch. They strike the perfect balance between gameplay and story moments. One moment, you’re competing with Rocket to see who can blast the most space worms and the next you’re flying the Milano in a daring escape sequence. All of this is accompanied by hilarious banter from your team. You get to make meaningful decisions throughout the game giving it great replay value. It is cool to feel like you have some agency in the way the story progresses and these story sequences feel very Mass Effect in their execution. I can’t think of much higher praise for a game’s narrative than that. The combat is enjoyable and challenging if you have the difficulty on we can do this or above. They do have an easy setting which you have to appreciate in a game that has a focus on it’s story. This would be perfect for inexperienced gamers or someone who is just there for the story. All of the the soundtracks are phenomenal. There is an orchestral OST, a mix of 70s and 80s rock, synth wave, and disco, and they even formed a band called Star Lord with an entire album full of Iron Maiden-esque tracks just for this game. You get to select what you want to listen to while on the Milano which really makes your time there more enjoyable.
    I feel like this game got slept on, which is a shame. It is well worth the asking price and should be on your radar, especially if you have a high powered PC. It is well worth full price even if you only use it for benchmarking or showing off your new setup to friends and family. It will certainly justify that shiny new graphics card that you paid a small fortune for. My wife and I played through on PC and I will admit, you do need a monster system to turn on all the graphical bells and whistles. I can’t speak to the graphics quality on consoles so your mileage may vary there. We encountered very few bugs aside from some mild texture weirdness here and there. Nothing game breaking and zero crashes. We played primarily on my wife’s laptop. It has a 5900HX and an RTX 3070 which I believe is the higher power version. At 1440P, it stayed above 60 FPS most of the time. The lowest I saw was 45 and average was about 75. No weird hitching or stutters. We had the newest drivers installed. If you like the comics, or the movies, this is a must buy. If you are a Mass Effect fan, this is a must buy. This is not some cheap license cash in or micro transaction laden game as a service. It is a game that was obviously lovingly crafted and a stellar single player experience.

I was pleasantly surprised how interesting the plotline was. It’s good enough to be its own movie! I was also pleasantly surprised by the personalities, excellent dialogue, the voice acting, and the character modeling was. There are even optional dialogs where you can go into each character’s personal stories. The storyline even had “heart”, where I found myself tearing up after characters were sharing deep issues like suicide or loss. I was laughing a lot when Rocket was making rants, Starlord making jokes, and lots of funny little incidents throughout my playthrough. There is a TON of dialogs in this game. As you move with your group of friends in the level, every 10-15 seconds they talked to each other with something interesting. They even gave the character that I controlled a chance to weigh in on my opinion. By the end of the game, I fell in love with ALL the characters and really cared for them.

    The graphics are very good. I was mesmerized by all the cool background landscapes of the first levels. It’s full of VERY imaginative levels.

    I was actually surprised how much configurations you can do in the settings. You can adjusts so many things in the sounds settings. The display settings has a ton of features. There’s even accessibility settings to adjust the difficulty of quick time events, game hints, and much more.

    There are a few game breaking bugs that forced me to restart the last checkpoint. For example, sometimes my character would be stuck on a piece of geometry and i'm stuck in it forever. A quick load from the last checkpoint fixed this. There was another issue where nothing was selectable and the character voices just stopped, forcing a restart.

    Sometimes the sounds would skip a little for awhile when I restarted the game. The game also never saves your brightness settings after you close it so everytime you restart the game you have to change the brightness settings again.
    The gameplay was not great, but still very good. There is a really simple set of skills where you can pick which skill you’d like to get. I like the stagger mechanic, where you fill this meter up by doing stagger abilities so the enemy will take more damage and stay stunned for a while. I wish the skill tree had more skills in the game. Also, I found the fighting part of the game is a little bit too easy towards the end of the game. I just do the same overpowered abilities and the enemies go down very easily. This was on normal difficulty. Luckily these fights don’t last too long.

    As you progress throughout the game, there is a journal that is filled out in Star Lord’s perspective with cute drawings and stickers and his personal opinions on things. It was a nice touch and a good way to summarize the story so far.

    Being a story-driven game, it is really linear. I couldn't pick whatever next level i wanted. The game just rewards you sometimes when you pick a “correct” conversation dialog option in the form of a shortcut, more money, or a special bonus cutscene. Of course, if you picked the other choice you still get an alternate scene caused from a different outcome from your choice.

    There is a lot of replayability with this game. The new game plus keeps a lot of the stuff from the first playthrough like your levels, skills, and collectibles. It's an opportunity to collect items you missed or alternate dialog options.

    Overall, this game was fantastic despite a few minor flaws mentioned above. Kudos to the staff who wrote the story line script and the dialog. If there ever was a sequel to this game, I’d be very excited to play it.

    And my god it surprised me. I went in with absolutely no expectations and got out of it completely blown away. The story is great, character building is top notch, even made me emotional a few times thanks to some great performances by the VAs. It's also astounding from a visual standpoint, environments, facial animations, etc. The soundtrack is also great, both the OST and licensed songs, it accompanies the gameplay and story so well. Beating it took me around 17hours, which I think was the perfect duration for a linear single player story driven game.

    Last but not least, I really enjoyed the gameplay in general because it builds up from a pretty simple base, getting deeper as you upgrade Peter and buy new abilites for the Guardians, being able to do some sick team combos if you use the right abilities at the right time.

    And finally, this game has NO MICROTRANSACTIONS, everything can be unlocked through gameplay, which is a rare thing nowadays, and it shouldn't be. Lots of games should take note on how this game does it instead of putting every cosmetic item or collectible behind a paywall.

    Again, I got surprised by this game for all the good reasons. Even after playing it on Game Pass, I'll try to buy it on Steam asap, just to support the devs for giving me such a good time. We need more games like this.

It starts slow and accelerates like the console joysticks move and sometimes it snaps and works like a mouse should and then randomly the movement become like moving through a viscous slime again. The graphics are amazing and the environmental design is good but interacting with characters is incredibly immersion-breaking. You have to stand at a very specific spot and if you're not then your character will walk around the NPC awkwardly and completely breaks immersion. Same thing with a lot of the crouching elements in the environment and squeezing through gaps. You also need to stand at a specific spot and if you don't get it right your character will just keep on walking into the wall even though the gap is a few centimeters beside him. It completely breaks immersion and since the unusable camera movements hinder you from looking where you want, the combat becomes insufferably bad since its based on gun-play which requires the aiming system to work as a basis for any fun at all. so the combat and game-play are a complete 2-3/10 but the undeniable quality in graphics makes it so that a lower score is impossible to give. Also I encountered some weapon bugs where the characters had floating weapons, sometimes sticking through their body. Also quite immersion breaking. And don't make me mention the lighting glitches and hacky audio in some areas, I thought it was my drivers first but I updated them and the same problem has never happened to me in any other game. I do not understand at all how some people can give this game a 10 out of 10 as a serious review. A 10 out of 10 would mean that this game for them is a top 3 of all time which I can respect if they actually think that and if its their honest opinion but it feels like they throw out a 10 without thinking about it much at all. Also the story was hot garbage stinkier than lady hellbenders fart and I hated some of the central characters like Gomorrah, Ko-rel, Nikki, lady hellbender, fing fang foom and Adam warlock. That **** cliché trope where lady hellbender tames fing fang foom in 2 seconds by stretching out her hand that has been so overused in modern cinema made me want to drop the game right there and then. Also fing fang foom didnt have the purple pants. WHERE ARE MY PURPLE PANTS. In my obviously superior opinion to these 10/10ers, the story is one of the most laziest written pieces of game story I have witnessed since speaking for 10 hours to an Oblivion NPC. Ok maybe not that bad but the story was a solid 6/10 but the taming thing among others. brought it down to a 4/10. If the avengers game is cursed tier then this game is at most E tier. Expand

    What I could wish is at first being able to switch the characters you play to have some more fun with different skills. It would be great if there will be an new chapter of story enabled to play (i would definitely pay for this)

    A great, fun single player game.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a game that some people surely will miss this year, probably thinking it’s just another bad or poor Marvel game adaption riddled with MTX or skins to buy, but that is not the case here in GOTG.

    This is a game from Eidos-Montréal, creators of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and this game is in fact a pure single player experience, with none of the micro-transaction crap and nonsense. It uses, in fact, the same Dawn Engine we saw in Mankind Divided or, at least, It is based on it.
    The PC port has been done in collaboration with d3t, which recently also did the Alan Wake Remaster, and I think they have done a decent job, considering this is not a very common engine to see out there.

    There are different costumes in the game, but you have to explore and find them, by playing the game of course. Yeah, you know, single player games? They exist, and many are in fact, good games, like GOTG here.

    Let’s now talk PC port and some tech numbers and specs: on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti this game performs quite well, way over 60 FPS even at 1620 DSR resolution. My native resolution is 1080p but, at that resolution, the game is quite CPU bound and, if you want to get over 100 FPS, you’re going to need a very fast CPU.
    For most people with CPUs similar to mine, increasing the resolution and, if supported, enabling Raytraced Reflections, will be a much better option to keep that GPU working as it should.
    In my case, 1620p DSR Downsampling, Ultra Settings and with RT set to Ultra (including Transparent Raytraced Reflections), the frame-rates are usually above 70, sometimes even 80-90’ish, depending on the area.

    The game does make good use of DLSS 2.3 to provide excellent temporal stabilization to the image and, even if you prefer gaming at lower resolutions, I suggest enabling DLSS at Quality mode at least, because it sure does look better than Temporal Anti-Aliasing in this game. Of course, at higher resolutions, DLSS is an invaluable tool to keep 60 FPS or more, and a nice looking image, without compromising much on Graphics Settings.

    Due to being quite CPU limited unless we play at high resolutions and with Raytracing, lowering graphics settings quite often does not provide enough scaling to gain big performance chunks on the FPS, so it’s best to choose the highest possible resolution and Settings that provide us with at least 60 FPS.

    Moving on, to the actual game, and its story: I think it’s great, it has quite a few surprises and twists, and the characters are so fun in this game, I mean...they’re the Gardeners of the Galaxy! Wait…yeah, they are : )

    If you only know the Guardians from the MCU movies…you’ll find something familiar in this game, but if you also know them from the comics and other media, yeah, there’s a lot here to enjoy as well. I think the actors did such a good job, so congratulations to all of them, I had a lot of fun with their banter and dialogue choices and all the craziness (I played in English).

    Gameplay is pretty straightforward, it feels a bit familiar if you’ve played Mass Effect games, in a way, but not quite, and to me the combat itself is the weakest aspect of the game, it’s not bad but also not the best I’ve seen in an action / adventure game; it can be fun, but I often felt it could’ve been a bit more.

    The visual design in this game is top notch, the different worlds and locations we visit feel pretty unique and indeed something I’d expect to see in anything related to the Guardians, and I often had to stop and activate the handy Photo Mode and take lots of pictures, sometimes even in combat.

    The soundtrack in this game is great, of course it’s full with some of the greatest hits of the 80’s and therefore, it’s copyrighted, but the game has a “Streamer Mode” that disables all those tracks and instead uses the, also amazing, regular game soundtrack.

    But of course, when you play the game with the full soundtrack it feels truly epic, like it couldn’t be otherwise.

    I really liked this game, and it left me wanting more, there’s potential for more, for sure. It’s not really a short game, just an average length, I probably played around 25-30 hours, but I spent a lot of time in Photo Mode and testing / doing benchmarks too, but if you take your time and look for all the collectibles and stuff, yeah, expect around 15-20 hours for sure.

    I hope we get more single player games like this, and more people give this game a chance, I think it deserves it.

    Good game overall, best RTX+DLSS performance on RTX2080 super. But have some lack of features like skip entire scene/dialogue.

    Pros for me: 1. Good graphics (all max out) 2. Very-very good performance. Other studios should learn this level of optimization when their lower-quality games have lower FPS and alot of stutters 3. Nice story so far 4. Great music in this game Cons: 1.

    Pros for me:
    1. Good graphics (all max out)
    2. Very-very good performance. Other studios should learn this level of optimization when their lower-quality games have lower FPS and alot of stutters
    3. Nice story so far
    4. Great music in this game

    Cons:
    1. Have a lot of bugs: sometimes enemy doesn't appear and you can't finish a fight and Peter being teleported out from next area
    2. Another bug is when you choose answer in a conversation - Peter might just not answer and it forces you to restart a game
    3. FPS drops. Not depends on any settings - RTX off or low settings it doesn't matter certain scenes and effects cause this anyway (very rare occasion)
    4. Strange gamepad control - takes too much time to use team skills with those double clicks
    5. No direct control over other characters, might be boring to play as one character for whole game
    6. As of pt.4 of Pros, music is good but why it so quiet? Forced to adjust sound settings to clearly hear music in fights and in Milano
    7. In a few fights game might crush, I guess could be patched someday

    So I'm giving this game 8/10 score because of a few bugs that I faced and they forcing to restart a game everitime.

    Edit: further you go more bugs... Nope, unntil this patched no more than a 5/10 because sometimes you can't even go anywhere

    Boring, very
    Repetitive gameplay and gun are way too weak to enjoy.
    The game should be shorter and no need to make it long with unreadable stuff.

    This is what Marvel's Avengers should have been! This game is amazing! Soundtrack is epic! Interaction with characters and lore are on point! You are going to enjoy a lot playing this game! No more words to describe it.

    - топорная боёвка, геймплей репитативный, скучные головоломки
    - интерфейс радужный, из-за чего он перегружен различными циферками, выпадающими предметами, порой не понятно, что вообще на экране происходит,
    - плохая производительность, анимация, много багов, есть критические баги, из-за которых приходилось перезапускать миссию.
    - нет химии между персонажами, нет ни секунды покоя, очень много воды, глупый юмор, диалоги неинтересные.

    Из игры явно была вырезана часть с монетизацией, так как провалились Мстители. На это указывает то, что в игре огромное количество ресурсов, но потратить их можно только на улучшение оружия. Причём, я не старался залезать в каждый уголок, но при этом прокачал весь арсенал и запчасти ещё остались.

    This game is a solid 8. It looks amazing. I personally haven't had any performance issues either. It runs just fine on my rig although I have a 3080.

    There are only small negatives with the game itself. I wish they could have allowed control of other characters during combat. Combat can be fun but can also get a little repetitive as you only control Quill. It would be fun to fire

    The story is engaging and the characters are well written and interesting. The set pieces are some of the best video game eye candy i have ever seen. Honestly this game is so gorgeous. Love the game. Hope there is a sequel sooner rather than later. Or another game in this same vein but with a different group of marvel heroes.

    Really good all around. Exceptional good story telling. Movement and combat is a little clunky. Everything else is really good

    На удивление классная игра, с цельным неплохим сюжетом, с полноценными интересными героями, с добротной боевкой, шикарной детализированной графикой, из минусов только ощущение затянутости некоторых миссий и просто куча багов, в том числе критических, когда просто сэйв удаляется и приходится заново целую главу проходить ( благо такое только однажды случилось)На удивление классная игра, с цельным неплохим сюжетом, с полноценными интересными героями, с добротной боевкой, шикарной детализированной графикой, из минусов только ощущение затянутости некоторых миссий и просто куча багов, в том числе критических, когда просто сэйв удаляется и приходится заново целую главу проходить ( благо такое только однажды случилось)

    Juegazo con gráficos impresionantes (rtx3090).
    Muy cuidado y entretenido. Con una narrativa de calidad.
    El punto débil por el que no le doy un 10 es el combate.

    Saves for users with cyrillic names don't work. 2 weeks after release and still no patch. Doesn't Square Enix don't have any QA-engineer r to find this minor issue and any programmer to fix it? Really?

    Guardians of Galaxy makes you laugh out loud, and that’s a rare feat. The story and production are so good that they offset its flawed gameplay, especially combat.

    Peter’s flashbacks deserve a special mention. Eidos Montreal went all-out on them, so instead of a cutscene, we get to explore a lovingly detailed place from Star-Lord’s past. [Issue#257, p.48]

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on PC performs very well. It is the best version on a purely aesthetic level. The work done by Eidos to recreate the galaxy, the planets and its protagonists is incredible.
