    Every Marvel fan should play this game, simply to support games like this and the Insomniac Spider-man games, against games like Square-Enix's other Marvel game Avengers which was a microtransaction filled bore fest after the story . This game has zero microtransactions. Everything is unlockable (there is a couple of outfits extra in the deluxe edition, which I would say are    Spoiler free

    Every Marvel fan should play this game, simply to support games like this and the Insomniac Spider-man games, against games like Square-Enix's other Marvel game Avengers which was a microtransaction filled bore fest after the story . 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

    Just like the movie, i was surprised how good this was. I was nervous after the dumpster fire the Avengers game was. But obviously this game was done by completely different people and it shows. This game was a blast from beginning to end. No Virtue Signalling characters, No Politics just a good and fun story. Hope this will start a trend.

    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

    Игра интересная и весёлая. Персонажи постоянно друг с другом ведут диалоги и из за этого кажется, что это не игра, а какой-то фильм. Хорошая картинка и приятная музыка, ценителям классического и хард РОКА точно понравится. Много отсылок к комиксам Марвел присутствует в игре, для тех кто знаком с ними, будет возможно интересно, а тем кто не знаком, это не повлияет на сюжет... ИграИгра интересная и весёлая.

    For the first time in a long time, I am satisfied. The game is amazing and I don't want it to end. I advise everyone!

    P.S. If you hate comics and expect something serious. Then don't waste your time and nerves.

The only down part is that during my playthrough, in chapter 15, there were some heavy fps drops and even a crash, but I can overlook that because it happened only once and didn't pulled me out of the action.

    Я в восторге!
    Вот буквально час назад прошел игру, немного собрались мысли, уселись эмоции, ничего не поменялось. Я всё ещё в восторге. Потрясная игра! Да, развлекательная, без вот этого "12 из 10", "такая глубинааа", просто потрясная развлекательная игра!
    Отдельно отмечу отличную работу с загрузками. Они замечаются только когда умираешь. Но в остальном, как только загрузился уровень -    Я в восторге!

    Отдельно отмечу отличную работу с загрузками. Они замечаются только когда умираешь. Но в остальном, как только загрузился уровень - ты не замечаешь каких-то подгрузок. Да, они происходят либо во время кат-сцен, либо в каких-то маленьких интерактивных моментах, но всё выглядит так, будто игра "бесшовная" даже на PS4.

    В игре нет практически ничего лишнего, она не будет заставлять вас гриндить и сражать толпы безликих врагов. Сражений ровно столько, сколько нужно. Сюжета ровно столько, сколько нужно. И сюжет даже может заставить вас пустить скупую мужскую слезу даже в линии Дракса... ДРАКСА!!! Я серьезно.

    Боевая система - интересна. Не знаю что там с её критикой, мне было интересно с самого начала и со временем становилось только интереснее, ведь и боевая система углублялась, добавляя новые приемы всем членам команды.

    Лучше, что делалось по Marvel за последние несколько лет, включая фильмы (со времен игры про Человека Паука и последнего фильма про Мстителей). Я остался доволен и сюжетом, и геймплеем и вам советую.

    Ещё раз: Я в восторге!!!    … Expand

    If you are fan of Marvel's universe and Guardians of the galaxy in particular, this is a must play experience. The game itself is fun and enjoyable but what makes it special is the continuous interaction between the characters which gives you the feeling of being part of an a epic space adventure.

    I've never played a game let alone a MARVEL LICENSED Property, where I wanted to blast thru the action sequences so I could get to the next part of the story, or an interactive conversation to help patch up a friendship.

Does it have performance issues and bugs aplenty?... Oh yes. But it is one of the most entertaining and engrossing games I've experienced in years.

    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

    This game was surprisingly good ! The story, the universe, the characters, all of it is just amazing. I really went in not hoping much but it's just funny and cool and has an interesting story. Aside from a few technical issues on ps4 ( inconsistent frame rate, buggy sound...) the game really looks amazing. I am glad that they took the time to write a great single player narrative.

    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.
