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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The story is fantastic, with interesting choices that made me one time restart the game and check a guide to see how they actually affect the game and damn these are some serious decisions you have to make. However, its kinda lame that with these choices the game wont let you save before, i mean the whole manual save stuff and save slots are useless cuz the game saves automatically all the time and if you have done some progress and saved manually and load that file you will be restored to the last autosave on the same slot you initially saved manually, kind of odd but ok it didn't ruin for me. Combat is extremely engaging and fun! Graphics OMFG on a high-end pc with rtx and dlss, that's a sweet kiss, the game is optimized extremely well on pc! with a 2080ti max settings and balanced rtx i get an average of 100-143fps on 3440x1440p (yet is also depends on the ram and cpu you use but hey even on a 1080 you can rock this game).
    Story wise (i noticed i mentioned that twice but hey here me out), let's put it this way, Ever been to salt baes steak house and had a nice meal with the family or friends? you remember how good that meal was and how you can't stop thinking about it because it is so memorable and excellent? yeah that's the same feeling you would get with marvels guardians of the galaxy, which i am a fan of the movies as well, but damn the game is AMAZING!!!
    Overall to make it short and top it all off, the game is excellent! it falls short due to the lack of polish which the game truly needs. But other than that, you are looking on one hell of an experience! Truly remarkable and I hope eidos Montreal makes a sequel with their new publisher, because if you do the best ending, you will see how open the game ended even after the credits. A game made by fans for fans.    … Expand

    Great adventure! Got so much joy from this game. The gameplay seems too basic and simple sometimes, but all the mechanics are perfectly bonded with story and atmosphere. At some point you just let go all the criticism and start having a pure fun.
    The people who made this game are obviously in love with Guardians lore. Thank you for this journey!

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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Game Pass for PC is available..

    Fine. As a matter of fact, the mechanics of the game are getting close to perfection, especially in the last 4 chapters. The conversations between the characters are also quite sincere.
    I think it deserves $30. You should definitely try it, especially if you have XBOX Game Pass.

    I fell in love with this one, it gets the good things about the movies and makes it even better, they decided just to take the superficial aspect of the movies and make a way different story and characters. The only "bad thing" that i can tell about this game its maybe the final hour and that the combat system makes the action slow.

    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.    … Expand

    The characters and the story are top notch. It really comes close to the GOTG movies surpassing even in some areas. BUT the battle system and rpg elements are really basic. not bad just really really basic. Even on hard difficulty you dont really need to use every tool in your bag.

    A very well written storyline up to par with the quality of the Marvel franchise. At first it’s a little hard to get on board with the voice acting but when it’s explained as a different multi verse version of the guardian’s, then it becomes easier to get into and the subtle character differences become fun.

    The graphics were fine. Nothing state-of-the-art but certainly not bad by modern standards. Throughout the game you can make certain dialog choices, even-though it's not clear what real impact they have on the rest of the game. The combat is satisfying although i wouldn't have minded a advanced skill tree or more weapon choices. The upgrades made very little impact.

    My biggest regret is that the game was extremely linear, i would've liked more freedom and options.

    Original review: This game is an easy 8 to me as I love 80s music. Oddly enough I dislike the dev and publisher due to the awful avengers game and i hate Disney because... I can read but this game despite my scepticism...is good! Buy with confidence if you like cinematic games.

    But to be good you must accept that it's not some action adventure as much as a telltale story game or like that quantum break tv game hybrid or like become human etc. It's an interactive movie and when you accept that fact...the often linear limited janky gameplay becomes acceptable.

    The voice acting is superb as is the lip synching. The new guardian look and lore is absolutely fine and you'll quickly love them and want a sequel or dlc.

    The story is excellent for a video game though as a film it could be better. But i was always engaged.

    The music is amazing. Beyond technical issues if you have a 5.1 or 7.1 set up the licenced rock and pop tunes sound fantastic and really sell the game and brand.

    The actual sound is far less impressive and a low point. This connects to the lack of polish.

    The graphics are good on pc but nothing mind blowing for 2021 and could have looked and ran alot better. The hdr is washed out but an update gives us ray tracing. The framerate is around 60fps at 1080 though there is still a lack of overall polish if you go to places not 100% on rails.

    Gotg is very much an onrail game but there are a few minor choices and seemingly endless alterntive scripts. There is a surprising amount of variety in such a rigid structure.

    And no microtransactions! And finding the outfits is rewarding and rhey look great.

    Well done devs! I hope you make another one as this game is awesome. So much better than that avengers rubbish (which I also play). To buy today :)    … Expand

    Świetnie napisane, charakterystyczne postacie.
    Każda ma swój własny, dobrze nakreślony charakter i przeszłość.
    Relacje miedzy nimi są naprawdę sensowne, a dialogi bywają naprawdę zabawne.
    Przed zagraniem byłem bardzo sceptycznie nastawiony do ich wyglądu, ale błyskawicznie się do nich przekonałem. Tak bardzo, że nawet nie zmieniałem odblokowanych skórek (a niektóre nawiązują do filmów).

    Bardzo dobra, przyjemna fabuła.
    Przebija nawet filmy. Zabawnie i wzruszająco - byłem zachwycony.
    Jest grzecznie - każdy bluzg to "flark", a seks często wspominany, ale w stylu filmów 12+.
    Masa dialogów z licznymi wyborami, które mają znaczenie - nie jakieś ogromne, ale zdecydowanie satysfakcjonujące i z odczuwalnymi konsekwencjami.
    Mimo całkowicie odwrotnych decyzji do wyboru, niemalże zawsze rewelacyjnie pasują do bohaterów.

    Bardzo ubogi, symboliczny gameplay.
    Gra jest po brzegi wypchana dialogami i przypomina bardziej Visual Novel niż grę akcji.
    Większość rzeczy samo się dzieje. Pozostały gameplay to od czasu do czasu takie sobie walki z niezbyt ciekawymi przeciwnikami. Często po prostu oglądamy cutscenki wciskając czasem jakiś 1 przycisk.

    Ciasno i liniowo, jesteśmy niemal cały czas prowadzeni za rączkę.
    Mimo tego, czasem da się utknąć, bo w kilku sytuacjach, to co mamy zrobić, nie jest do końca oczywiste w oskarpowanie nieprzyjemny sposób.

Oyun bunların etkilerini sonlara doğru gösteriyor da. Ne kadar etkili oluyor bilmiyorum, tersini görmediğim için.

    Oyunun en güzel yanı diyalogları. Hakikaten oynadığım en yoğun diyaloglu oyun. Ekibin üyeleri sürekli kendi arasında konuşuyor. Bir dakika sessizlik olmuyor oyunda. Üstelik çoğunlukla kaliteli, komik, evren hakkında bilgi veren, karakterlerin duygu ve düşüncelerini gösteren diyaloglar. Yazanlar kör olmuş hakikaten, saygı duydum.

    Hikaye de fena değil. Bir Marvel işine göre idare eder bence. Sondaki twist'i beklemiyordum, ha çok bi önemi var mı, yok. Ama bazı yerlerde fazla basite kaçmışlar, bazı şeyler çabucak halloluyor. Mantıksız çok nokta var. Uzay boşluğunda ejderha nasıl uçuyor mesela.

    Oyunun en en kötü yanı, bu kadar az ilgi çekmesinin nedeni, combat'ı. Ateş etme mekaniği düşmana kilitlenip tuşa basılı tutma üzerine kurulu. Sizin ve ekip üyelerinizin özel yeteneklerini dolduğu zaman kullanıyorsunuz. Onlar da dörder tane zaten. Yapınca da öyle uzaktan izliyorsunuz. Hepsini biraz kombinleyebiliyorsunuz ama çok kısıtlı. Çok sıkıcı. Düşmanlar desen çok yetersiz. Farklı farklı elementlere zaafları var ama onun dışında çok vasatlar. Sizle doğrudan dövüşmüyorlar zaten. Siz onlar yokmuş gibi tuşlara basıyorsunuz. Saçma. Bu işi FFVII Remake iyi kotarıyordu mesela.

    When initially this game was released, with very little fanfare, I expected it to be just another piece of licensed movie-to-game junk that the publisher wasn't talking about because they were pretty confident in it's failure and it being absolute trash. Oh boy, was I wrong. While not perfect, mostly on the account of technical issues that haven't been fully patched even half a year afterWhen initially this game was released, with very little fanfare, I expected it to be just another piece of licensed movie-to-game junk that the publisher wasn't talking about because they were pretty confident in it's failure and it being absolute trash. Oh boy, was I wrong. While not perfect, mostly on the account of technical issues that haven't been fully patched even half a year after release, and the humor that stoops down into reddit tier cringefest way too often, but it's definitely a full fledged game that is more than capable of standing on its own and it definitely does its franchise justice.

    Well, for those who want more details, here you go:

    Technical stuff:
    - game is incredibly well optimized, at least on my hardware (stock 5900X, RX 6900 XT factory overclocked, 32GB DDR4 Ram, running out of pcie 3 nvme drive) easily butter smooth at native 4k with ray tracing - well, most of the time
    - the game does, however, appear to have an issue with loading in assets, loading takes way too much for running out of near empty, half a year old nvme SSD, the game also hitches on transitions, such as in cutscenes and such where "background" loading takes place

    Graphics:
    - game looks great, though it's at times very clear the level of optimization that was achieved wasn't by magic, but by carefully balancing performance and fidelity. If you require nothing but the absolute best from your games in regards to graphics, you'll be disappointed
    - there's a few, common nowadays, graphical glitches, such as misaligned textures, scenery objects floating, objects sticking into each other or into the ground/walls, some weirdness with clothing animations, etc.
    - speaking of animations, they can be pretty stiff at times, nothing too bad though
    - the game is however, very much capable of delivering movie like-spectacle, repeatedly. character design, location design - from graphics perspective, is damn near flawless
    - unfortunately, some assets get reused a bit too often, especially enemies later into the game, and there ain't that many different alien species either and what is there is kinda limited and very similar to each other, perhaps to save time or cost (or both)

    Sound:
    - great soundtrack, nothing else can be said
    - sound design and direction is great overall
    - unfortunately, speech cuts out randomly a lot - for example if you go "too fast" through the world and don't allow your companions to finish, they just cut out mid-sentence and switch to a different conversation. Feels very unnatural and could have been handled better.
    - voiceacting is very good, for the most part, but there are some terribly written dialogues where you can feel the awkwardness the actors are feeling just seep through

    Writing/story/characters:
    - it is a marvel superhero fantasy "sci"-fi, but its one of the better ones
    - the humor is often a bit too cringey, as a banter during gameplay its okay, but its unbearably unfunny and annoying in cutscenes, a lot of which you cannot skip - and don't want to because of plot elements
    - the plot is surprisingly competent, it ain't winning pulitzer's by any means, it's not terribly original either, but for a superhero game which is by theme and design aimed at teenagers and redditors (which is mentally about the same level), it's very good, has some nice spins and twists along the way, and surprisingly some pretty thoughtful moments, I liked it
    - main characters are pretty likeable for the most part, the side characters are also, and the writing was competent enough, overall, to actually make me care about most of them, though I'd prefer they spoke less because most of the dialogue is really bad, really really really bad

    Gameplay:
    - is a bit of a mixed bag honestly
    - the game suffers from "cutscenis unnecessaris", especially towards the first half of the game, but it's not a terminal case fortunately, it still has a negative impact on pacing though
    - combat isn't terribly complex, but it is fun for the most part, especially when you unlock all of the abilities of your crew - there aren't all that many though, and honestly, the game would be better off without this rpg-lite crap
    - AI is dumb, really dumb, your friends will run into AoE attacks ang get knocked out repeatedly, enemies just dumbly rush you or stand in one place waiting to be killed, etc.
    - towards the end of the game, they get a bit too HP-bloated, especially the boss fights turn into test of patience rather than skill, and sometimes you get swarmed by way too many enemies turning the combat way too chaotic and a mess to manage - another pacing issue
    - overall though, it was still fun for me, really mostly for the spectacle and flashy stuff
    - the game is surprisingly substantial content wise, expected 5-6 hours, it's easily triple that
    - not really something I will be replaying anytime soon, though

    Last issue I encountered is disappearing or, doubled, or incorrect subtitles.    … Expand

You don't even have to aim since the game has auto aim, just hold down the shoot button until you overheat in 4 seconds and play a QTE to reload, that's every fight for 15+ hours.

    The game also has worthless QTEs scattered randomly around custscenes with zero warning that they're even a thing and kill you in 3 seconds if you can't react fast enough not even knowing which buttons will be used for them, then reload you with a lenghty loading screen and make you watch the whole unskippable custscene again.

    The story was good but it was really padded and ended up being a letdown. I got really tired of the prepare to fight the bad guy, fail, prepare again loop by the 3rd time they repeated it.
    I wouldn't say it's very replayable either, the entire game is either just a walking simulator or a boring arena fight, after you heard the story once you won't care to hear it again, but most of the talking parts are unskippable even on NG+, there's no point to explore anymore since the components become worthless (there's barely enything to spend them on) and the fights are boring. There are choices but the most they'll affect is how easy or hard some fights will be later on.    … Expand

    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.    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. 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    … Expand

    - 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.    … Expand

    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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolute mess of a game. Everything is tedious. It's full of horrible plot holes, that make it seem as though they just slapped it together and said, good enough. The fighting consists of shooting and dodging. They try very hard to make you think your teammates are necessary, but you rarely actually need them to defeat enemies. The constant bickering chatter from your mates becomes annoying as hell after about 30 minutes. The way in which you interact with those conversations is so tedious that I found myself ignoring them more often than not. An example of the plot hole mess is, when you are going to sell Rocket or Groot to the monster buyer. On the way, you come across several monsters that you kill instead of selling them to her, in place of pretending your friend is a monster to fool her. There is even a monster that you find in a cage. Instead of taking it to her, Groot sets it free and you have to kill it. Once inside her fortress, Rocket suggests pulling off a heist when you come across her vault. Everyone shoots him down, as though it is a bad idea; yet that is exactly what you are doing. You are selling your friend to her, only to break in and steal him back later. Essentially pulling of a heist. This game has no soul. It is a rushed, irritating experience. If you are looking for a good Marvel game, I would suggest you play the Avengers instead. At least the fighting and main story are well fleshed out in that game. Also, why do I have to tell Gamora to cut down vines every time they are blocking our entrance? Shouldn't she know to cut them down? Like I said, this game is tedious.… Expand

    The PC port is absolutely horrible and nigh unplayable. You immediately notice that this game was made for consoles with how insufferable the camera movement is.

The graphics are amazing and theThe PC port is absolutely horrible and nigh unplayable. You immediately notice that this game was made for consoles with how insufferable the camera movement is. 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

    Absolute snoozefest. You can only play as star lord, and his little pea shooters get old real fast. you do almost no damage. you are there only to create opportunities for your teammates to use their cooldown abilities.

    The sound constantly stutters, although the game itself runs fine. It is impossible to play with such sound. Tried all the settings, the problem remains.

    Game play is actually really quite fun! The reason for my low rating is the inexcusable bug that prevents my Xbox Core Wireless Controller from working in wireless Bluetooth mode. When connected via a USB-C cable it functions perfectly. I didn't pay $54+ dollars for a genuine Microsoft wireless controller to have it only work in wired mode! This is on the developers.

    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.
