    "Вартові Галактики Марвел" - це чудова екшн гра з цікавим сюжетом, красивою графікою та неперевершеним саундтреком.

    It is an ok game but sadly I didn't feel like playing it in the second half of the story.

    Guardians of the Galaxy is a game that builds on the stories presented in 2007’s comics series ‘Annihilation’ and ‘Annihilation: Conquest’ and 2008’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ team. This game is based on the characters and events from the comics, not the movie universe and that only serves to aid this game in every way. This is definitely for people who like story-games, if you’re lookingGuardians of the Galaxy is a game that builds on the stories presented in 2007’s comics series ‘Annihilation’ and ‘Annihilation: Conquest’ and 2008’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ team. This game is based on the characters and events from the comics, not the movie universe and that only serves to aid this game in every way. This is definitely for people who like story-games, if you’re looking for something that you can turn off your brain and just shoot, this is not for you. For this game is like a BioWare and Telltale game put together.

    The story is immersive and completely engaging. I felt every moment with the characters and loved each time I got to interact with them or when we got to hear their backstory. I truly felt that the growth the Guardians went through was earned. There were moments where you got to make a choice, in dialogue, in character events, and like Telltale games the characters would remember it and have an effect down the line. And like a BioWare game, the way you interacted with your team could help rally them together or set them against each other. Everyone was well voice-acted and there were so many moments where I was just laughing because the comedy was gold. To say too much about the story though would spoil it, but it’s like a well-written book.

    The gameplay is super fun. You play specifically as Star-Lord but you have complete control over the rest of the team’s actions in a fight, as you unlock everyone’s abilities as you progress. I loved being able to pair the different abilities together and learning what would work best in a particular fight. The special abilities pair together for combos that are what you’re working for. Each ability on its own isn’t too powerful, but together you can destroy enemies. There’s a minimal skill tree that actually makes sense as it’s paired with the story, you earn things as the characters grow.

    Just as the creators promised, there are no microtransactions or DLC. They focused completely on story and characters. The collectibles (costumes, things for your companions) were all located in game, in easy to find places if you just looked. And the collectibles for your team would actually enable a conversation with them that gave more history to the characters.

    My only problem with the game was once I got to Chapter 8 and fighting on the ship begins in earnest, bugs begin to appear. Throughout the next few chapters I had odd happenings of we’d defeat all the enemies but the fight wouldn’t end, I’d be trapped and couldn’t continue to the next scene. The game thought that the last enemy killed was still alive, in fact the first time it happened the enemy was invisible but I found his health bar floating. We managed to trigger a finisher but nothing happened, it still acted as though he was alive. I couldn’t even jump off the ledge to fix it; I had to reload the last checkpoint. This happened a few other times. There was also an instance where I went down the path but no companions followed and I couldn’t get back to them. Once again I had to reload the last checkpoint. One of Drax’s collectibles was bugged where after speaking to him, I was frozen in spot and couldn’t do anything but reload. And nearer to the end a few times, Groot should have been speaking but no sound occurred. It’s very odd especially since when I popped the game in, it had an update. I’m not sure what the update involved but clearly it didn’t do anything to solve what should be easy to fix bugs. But while frustrating, it didn’t ruin the game experience for me.

    I would absolutely recommend this game for comic fans and any fan of great story games. I’m so glad I got it. I even found that this game has a prequel book that involves the time of the war that is constantly referenced to in this game, along with just before the game!    … Expand

    If you like Guardians of the Galaxy movie type humor, you'll enjoy the dialogue of this game. It's a fun action RPG with a lot of fun dialogue. Wish there were more varied bosses but the overall game was fun.

    Єдине що тримало в цій грі до кінця це сюжет який як на мене досить цікавий, а от бойова система дуже занудна і цікава кілька годин. Система прокачки команди теж не найкраща. По факту користувався однією, або двома здібностями у кожного ( всього 4 здібності на кожного члена команди ).Розмови між персонажами цікаві, і взага персонажі вийшли хорошими та цікавими.Єдине що тримало в цій грі до кінця це сюжет який як на мене досить цікавий, а от бойова система дуже занудна і цікава кілька годин.

The enemies are literally the most generic "Alien#1 looking creatures I've ever seen. No imagination went into their creation. All combat also takes place in a box, similar to that last Tomb Raider entry. The combat mechanics also aren't any good, they're a throwback to the PS2 generation (and not in a good way). The game is also plagued with QTE's which have been tiresome since Shenmue on the Dreamcast. The game also has a tendency to try to let the soundtrack carry it's more pivotal moments, like the films did. This is no substitute for actual good storytelling. Overall this title is a decent summer rental but honestly nothing more. I wouldn't recommend it to any friends either. Marvel's Spiderman offered a way more compelling experience.… Expand

    It's okay, but it feels more like they wanted to make a movie more than a video game because there isn't much game to play. Too many cutscenes and QTEs instead. When there is combat, it feels too crowded. Enemies are just damage sponges. You're better off just playing on easy and enjoying the story.

Kinda reminds me of playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake in that respect.

    Graphics look real nice on my PS4 Pro, but the game has some pretty long load times and buggy. I actually got stuck in the wall and between objects a few times. Had to reload my last save!

    Didn't like how your other crew members just wouldn't shut the hell up! And it sounds like they're all shouting too. Over time I just tuned them out since they really said nothing of value anyway.    … Expand

    A Flarking Good Game.

    I can't believe I can like a superheroes game where most of them are sucks for me. Guardians of the Galaxy runs smoothly and looks great on PS4. FPS starts to struggle when you enter "Knowhere" but overall the performance is by far very decent for a big game. Only Playstation Studios can achieve this so far and I'm glad you can achieve a great performance for    A Flarking Good Game.

    Story is quite engaging for a superheroes game where I'm not into the movie of GOTG. The only issues is the banter sometimes are just way too long and you cannot move your character and camera when you enter this state.

    Gameplay is fun and every mechanic in the combat system is well executed. I think this is the best game in terms of team fight but you are the one who control all of your team and its flarking great.

    The issues that I have is the game still has some game breaking bug. Sometimes I got knock away by enemies and Peter merged with the object in the environment which mean he's stuck and cannot move at all. Then, after I meet matriarch and beat all the "goons" I cannot proceed with the game. I reload the game and restart the fight and turns out there should be a platform for Peter and the gang to climb after that but it's not showing at all before I reload the game. The subtitles also bugging where sometimes the subtitles is not active. I need to pause the game and resume it to make it active again which is weird.

    Other unpleasant experience is the characters itself when they are not in the cutscene. The Voice Actor did a great job at delivering their lines and making the context of the story clear but the animation team (?) did a terrible job. The VA is quite expressive when delivering their lines but the in game characters face are way too flat, they look like robot.

    The game is flarking great but I don't think its worth a flarking 60$ so better wait for a sale for this game.    … Expand

    Guardian of the galaxy is 8/10 for me. Really fun to play, loved the script and direction of the game, it was like " I'm watching movie " type experience, Great implementation of GFX, very well highlighted stars, galaxies and different species that we interact with in the game. Good combat system. Great and fun dialogues

This game has zero microtransactions. Everything is unlockable (there is a couple of outfits extra in the deluxe edition, which I would say are worth getting the deluxe for but hardly essential.)

    But also this is just a really great game especially for fans of the GOTG, it's more in line with the comic books, than the movies story wise but even then has its own take own take on origins etc. The soundtrack is epic, you have a great selection of licensed 80's classics, a great new album made for the game by a band called Star Lord and a great original score.

    Some may get disappointed you can only directly control Star Lord but I think that makes sense gameplay wise, as you get to control when the other guardians use their special abilities,.

    In some ways it's a lot like Mass Effect but not really an RPG so not quite, just a real fun third person action adventure game in space. A bunch of amazing Marvel Easter eggs and even non Marvel references. Like a Chewbacca figure for example.

    I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    Честно говоря после фекальных Marvel’s Avengersов, такого не ожидал! И так Guardians of the Galaxy получилась на удивление отличной игрой.
    Начну с того, что игра ничего общего с фильмом, кроме имён героев, не имеет. Это самобытная история, и история очень достойная. Если бы третьи стражи вышли с таким вот сюжетом я был бы очень рад.
    Графика в игре похожа на оную в Spider-Man 2018 года.    Честно говоря после фекальных Marvel’s Avengersов, такого не ожидал! И так Guardians of the Galaxy получилась на удивление отличной игрой.

    Графика в игре похожа на оную в Spider-Man 2018 года. Очень красивая. На PS4 ничего не лагает.
    Мир не открытый, игра линейна. И это замечательно. Честное слово, открытый мир игру испортил бы.
    Герои прописаны замечательно. Характеры и отношения членов команды, особенно Дракса и Ракеты, на протяжении игры меняются, видно что они живые, а не тупые нпс, им сопереживаешь. Некоторые озвучены, как мне показалось, актёрами озвучившими фильм. Класс! Мантис просто великолепна! Думаю одна из лучших героинь второго плана вообще в играх. Шутки переданы отлично, иногда даже смешно. В игре вообще очень много персонажей комикса "Стражи галактики".
    Кстати теперь вы управляете не всеми героями по очереди как в Avengers, а только Звёздным лордом. Все остальные члены команды управляются вами, но вы им отдаёте приказы во время боя. Герои улучшаются, а ваш протагонист ещё и прокачивается.
    Боссы великолепные и их много. Но полноценных, так сказать, всего два. Остальных ты либо не успеваешь победить, либо они самоубиваются практически без нашего участия.
    Да, ещё в игре лицензионная музыка 80х - 90х годов. Я просто офигел когда перед битвой с финальным боссом заиграла «The Final Countdown»!!!
    Но самое главное это невероятная атмосфера. С героями банально грустно расставаться в конце игры.
    Есть и недостатки. Например в игре всего три сейва! Почему так мало? Ведь игра с обследованием уровней и если что то пропустил, всё баста, начинай игру сначала.
    Прокачка тоже странная. Я прокачался на 100% примерно на 10ой главе, а в игре их 16. Запчасти было не на что тратить.
    Но всё это мелочи. Игра отличная, это такой аналог фильма с увлекательной историей. Жалко Йонду Удонта не показали, а так даже Танос есть. Игра имеет огромный задел для продолжения, может в нём и Йонду появится. Буду очень ждать.
    И ещё одна важная мелочь. В игре нет никаких ЛГБТшных сюжетов, нет никаких не к месту напиханных негров, нет не нужных феминистических акцентов. В наше время это просто счастье!!!
    Советую всем! А поклонникам Стражей, играть в обязательном порядке!    … Expand

The major sin the game makes is by not letting you play it all that much. There's always a cut scene and/or quicktime event -- the former go on and on and on and on. Seemed as though the team behind the game wished they were making a movie instead. Because the game has no real flow, and is constantly tripping over its own dick, for all its admirable qualities, cool aesthetic, and sparkly dialogue, it just isn't all that fun to play (given how little playing the player actually gets to do). As a side note, Guardians does NOT run well on the PS4. The frame rate is often atrocious, and loading screens can take upwards of 30 seconds (which gets real burdensome real fast when a sudden quicktime event requiring some button pushing or stick jockeying kills you, only to drop you prior to a two minute scene that you're forced to watch over again. Lather, rinse, repeat. After "playing" Guardians for nearly five hours, I'm guessing I got in around an hour of actual gameplay.

    I cannot recommend playing Marvel's Guardians enough for the experience it provides. Its decision to focus on story, characters, and ambiance instead of trying to throw in a bunch of content that pads the adventure results in an amazing game. It is right up there with the Arkham Trilogy and Marvel's Spider-Man as one of the best superhero video games of all time.
