    This episode has a good flow and tempo, with lots of visually appealing cutscenes and action to break up the story, and while it reaches the end without feeling rushed, the cliffhanger feels a bit out of place.

    Telltale's second episode of Guardians of the Galaxy tells a more personal story, while giving the main characters some more depth. The episode is not as action-packed as the last one, but overall it’s a nice addition to the season.

    Under Pressure takes a more serious tone than Tangled Up In Blue and it has far less jokey dialogue options. The Rocket backstory alone makes this episode stand out over the first and the mystery of the Eternity Forge now has me hooked. Couple the improved storytelling with some refreshing cameos and Under Pressure really does a great job of setting the table for the rest of this Telltale adventure. I could use a bit more Groot (who doesn’t love Groot?) but besides that I’m satisfied with Under Pressure and eager to see where they go with Episode 3.

    Much better than the first, episode two features better pacing and more time being given to the supporting characters. I'm now excited to see where things go for the series.

    I dunno. This one felt stale. Like none of my choices actually matter. Also, the story feels dragging instead of moving forward. Yeah, RocketI dunno. This one felt stale.

    Incredibly bland and boring. The humor is bad and cringey, every joke falls flat on its ass. The animations are probably the worst TelltaleIncredibly bland and boring. The humor is bad and cringey, every joke falls flat on its ass. The animations are probably the worst Telltale has done to date and the graphics look straight out of a PS2 game. The villain isn't even interesting and the voice actress makes me take the villain even less serious.… Full Review »
