    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? :)

    I didn't like the predecessor Marvel's Avengers. So, I didn't put any effort into finding out how this game is. Lately found its way to MS GamePass and I thought: Give it a try. What should I say ? What a BLAST !!! This Game is literally a playable movie. so many details. Such a gorgeous music. What a lovely story. What....OK I see you got it.

    I haven't been this happy with a game in years. It's clearly inspired by the Mass Effect series and yet adds to it in design quality. The ship and missions feel lively at all times, as there is constant conversation and banter going on. When it was over, I missed this found family immediately. Even as a GotG fan, this is by far my favorite Marvel content ever made, including the movies,I haven't been this happy with a game in years.

    Definitely better than expected, the Guardians game I had hoped for from my first viewing of the 2014 film.

    Great plot, amazing characters, various beautiful locations. Minus one - gameplay for an amateur. But in the present dominance of looter shooters, grind and online, this game is like a breath of fresh air and therefore it is simply impossible to scold it.

    Just an amazing single player adventure. We don't get those too often.
    Surprisedly, it satisfies the Mass Effect itch.
    Oh, and of course, hands down, it has the best soundtrack (talking not only about licenced tracks).

    Well-crafted combat, great acting, decent story, enjoyable level design and fresh environments per chapter, good chemistry and character development, acceptable cinematics, interesting gameplay and progression -- Square Enix' take on the Guardians of the Galaxy has it all, game-wise and story-wise.

    There are some minor bugs here and there, but this is still one of the best single player

    This game is a masterpiece in my opinion. Story, Characters and Gameplay are very well rounded and i had a **** of fun in the first playthrough in about 19h playtime.

    The story is well rounded and the characters are a solid part of the story - the jokes work most of the times and it´s written with a special kind of soul (you feel it if you play it) The soundtrack is beyond great -

    The soundtrack is beyond great - its so fun to play your heart out to motley crue and blast off waves after waves of enemies with the fun group mechanics of the characters.

    For all who want to know what i think went wrong are just minor bugs and 2 crashes. The enemies are sometimes a bit spongy but thats very subjective for what kind of games you like. Its definitely no mass hack n slay in god of war manner.

    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)

    Best game of 2021 for those who love 'old-school' adventure/narrative type of games like me.
    The characters are very well written: light, positive, fun, like the story that has a lot of twists.
    Fans of the 80s will feel nostalgic playing as a young Peter (fan of Hair Metal, on earth in the 80s. Besides that this game is full of hits from the 80s. Big respect for Eidos Montreal for using

    I'm not Marvel's fan. I enjoyed GofG movies but I wasn't sure if this game is for me. Now I know that this is the best game from 2021 that I played. I hope for a sequel made by the same studio.

    This is one of the best single player experiences I've ever had the pleasure of playing. The characters are fleshed out. The story is awesome. The environments are truly alienlike. The gameplay is really like you're starlord, the teamleader. Everything you want from guardians of the galaxy is here.

    Lots of settings for difficulty as I never seen in any other game. I felt like tha game was modded. You can adjust the cooldown of team abilities, dmg output, respawn and a lot more.
    Great story, funny characters, not that bad but at the same time not a usual combat. Highly recommend it. 10/10.

    Как игра стражи довольно средняя, но как интерактивное приключение просто пушка. Весь кайф от диалогов и ситуаций в которые гг попадают. Берите, вообще не пожалеете. Проходится за 20-25 часов и можно потом перепройти с другими решениями.Как игра стражи довольно средняя, но как интерактивное приключение просто пушка.

    Очень даже не плохая игра, респект скверам что в этот раз вместо дро4ильны мы получили сюжетную игру и обидно за то что как минимум на пк у нее дела обстоять так себе, народ жалуется на дро4ильны и онлайн а покупать сингл игру с не плохим сюжетом не спешат, а потом жалуются а почему сингл игры особо не хотят делать..

    Оптимизация лично у меня норм, хз скок фпс но на ультрах идет плавно

    Оптимизация лично у меня норм, хз скок фпс но на ультрах идет плавно rx5700 в 2к, главный косяк заключается в том что тригери мешают слушать полностью диалоги и частенько обрываются не закончившись, что обидно т.к слушать интересно, ну и боевка просто играбельная. В целом к покупке советую как минимум по скидону если конечно вам такое нравится.

    The game is a great ride, like a comic come to life. I get if you dont like comics/the guardians this might not be for you. But if you are a fan or maybe just a fan of the movies, you should give this a try

    I was expecting it to be bad, like Avengers, but I was wrong, it is a very good game, and extremely FUNNY!!! One of the best games I played recently! It's better than the James Gun movies hahaha! I hope the studio makes a new story to continue this fun game!

    Cool interactive adventure in the campaign of the most idiotic weirdos in all the galaxy, the main thing to praise the game for is the interaction and chemistry of the characters, the same gameplay needs to be improved in terms of improved shooting and animations.

    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.
