    One of those few games that I'll happily give top marks. They had the deck stacked against them after the movies since it felt weird to accept new versions of those same characters. But I ended up finding the game versions even better than in the movies.

    افضل لعبة في طور القصة حرفياً حواراتها روعة جداً وايضاً ما يحتاج تختم اللعبة 20 مرة حتى تفتح كل المهارات بالعكس كل ما تلعب شوي تلقى روحك فاتح جميع المهارات و

    Highly recommend this.

    One of the most entertaining games and pieces of superhero media I have consumed ever. The story is well-crafted with solid emotional moments that flesh out each character, funny momments that make you laugh, and badas action sequences that make you exhilarated. Although I would have loved to play as the other members of the team, playing as Quill was still    Highly recommend this.

Although I would have loved to play as the other members of the team, playing as Quill was still incredibly fun and the variation in your guns and skill trees kept the combat fresh and exciting and commanding your allies really made you feel like a leader. Lots of comic references that are interesting to find in each mission as well.    … Expand

    Un juegaso lastima que halla sido un fracaso por el fracaso del juego de avengers pero sin duda este juego te hace sentir como si estuvieras viendo una pelicula de los personajes e incluso como si fueras parte del grupo

    A lot of people wrote this game off before it came out but I’m glad I was one of the few who saw the vision! I’m not as huge on the Guardians as some people but I enjoyed all of their movies so far & appreciate how they tend to go to some weird & wild places, so a game longer than all of their movies combined had the chance to do the same thing and it definitely accomplished that!A lot of people wrote this game off before it came out but I’m glad I was one of the few who saw the vision! I’m not as huge on the Guardians as some people but I enjoyed all of their movies so far & appreciate how they tend to go to some weird & wild places, so a game longer than all of their movies combined had the chance to do the same thing and it definitely accomplished that!
    Positives first, the game is just plain FUN. This game could’ve been made in the PS2 era & it would’ve fit right in, which I’m using as a compliment! Just a straightforward single player video game that feels so rare nowadays. The combat is hectic in a very satisfying way too! Some people complained about only being able to play as Star-Lord but that would’ve made things wayyy too messy with this combat system, if there is ever a sequel that goes completely over the top I could see it happening though. The graphics are great & the soundtrack goes hard too. All of the Guardians’ actors gave a great performance despite me being so used to the movie actors for them. I also really liked the choice & dialogue systems, I love replay-ability options like these.
    The complaints I do have are more minor, nothing in this game aggravated me to the point of dinging the score lower but I wasn’t hooked by the story as much as I wanted to be. At times it truly shined, ESPECIALLY the parts with Peter & his mother which really tugged at my homesick heartstrings. I get how the bickering between the Guardians makes sense in-universe & is how they usually are, but there’s SO much dialogue in this game even if it’s idle talking. Sometimes it just got a bit too much for me even if I liked all of the characters & their performances. The most glaring problem is the weird optimization that still hasn’t been patched on PS5 almost 2 years later. There are strange large frame drops often & a lot of bugs. Some of the bugs were really funny like when enemies would die & randomly have their bodies do a 180 twist before ragdolling across the room. Other bugs were annoying clipping issues & I would get stuck in the environments at least once per chapter, making me have to reload an auto save which thankfully never cost me a lot of progress, One part during a mid-game combat gauntlet a large mini boss enemy got caught in the ground and died instantly, leading to the rest of the combat encounter’s arena not opening up and allowing me to proceed. I had to sit through the dialogue all over again though.
    Overall I had a lot of fun with the Guardians & I hope one day a sequel gets greenlit, there’s so much potential for future titles!    … Expand

    Perfection... Fun gameplay, fun to use the skills, the story is quite nice and sometimes mindblowing... One of the best Super Heroes games ever made, if you never played it because the disaster of Avengers, give it a try, you will never regret.

    A fun single player story, a beautiful graphic even on PS4. One the best campaign i have played! The dub in Portuguese is the best I've ever seen! They used the same voice actors from the movies here, it was amazing!

    Doesn't reach GREAT GAME status for me, but since i got it with my subscription it was definitely a good game. My biggest complaint, believe it or not, is why are they always yelling?? LOL If you can get this with you PS subscription or used at GameStop, give it a whirl.

    Amazing music, great graphics and perfect story. I also really loved the combat system, so engaging and easy to learn. The game helps you to learn step by step, one of the easiest controls I've seen for a long time. This is a must play for everyone

    Great game! Really fun to play, good story and really fun characters and dialogues. Sometimes its fun to just take a short break from gaming and just listen to them fight/ discuss some random stuff. There are some bugs present, but nevertheless an awsome game!

    The game is an excellent piece of art, my rating is 9 for its amazing story and characters' personalities, the use of music in this game is magnificent. The story is very original, I didn't quite like the last chapters, but it's still an excellent game. See more reviews of this game on YouTube you will not regret it.

    Second best marvel game ever made behind spider-man! Great story and excellent characters. The worlds are so nice and vibrant! I almost beat it in one sitting! Some nice twists in the story too and decisions you have to make! Very underrated game

    One of the best games that I played in a long time, I wasn’t a big fan of the guardians of the galaxy but this game made me really like them, the gameplay is one of the best, it really gives you the feel like the old AAA+ games, and any gamer that play this game can feel that heart has been put in to the making of this game.

    Excelente experiência com este jogo. Não tinha grandes expectativas, mas a história e personagens surpreenderam muito pela positiva.
    Em termos de jogababilidade, torna-se, às vezes um, bocadinho confuso. No entanto esta lacuna é superada pele envolvência de todo o jogo.
    Não esquecer: a banda sonora foi das melhoras que já experienciei em videjogos.

    Sure this game relies heavily on the player being a fan of the superhero genre and Marvel, but even without there's enough to respect. They've created a well built game that plays very easily.

    Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy experiments with a surprisingly emotional but exciting story. Playing as only Star-Lord does diminish mechanics, however, with the world being so vast and having a quite extensive story line, the action does keep you entertained. The graphics are very comical and vibrant with strong colors that derive straight from the comics.

    El humor que manejan los personajes es muy muy MUY idéntico al de las películas, por lo que cualquier fan de el universo cinematográfico de Marvel se sentirá muy cómodo con las platicas que tengan entre ellos.

    La historia no va muy complicada, sabe lo que quiere mostrar y está genial, sin duda de los mejores videojuegos de superheroes

    If you like Guardians of the Galaxy then you will love and adore this game. It has everything that makes GotG great. Humour, quirkiness, action, humour again and fun. Gameplay is smooth and graphics are nice. Its great singe player story which acts itself as movie. Overall great game 9/10.

    Guardians of Galaxy are the real blast that Marvel fans needed after more than mediocre Avengers. The “worst” part of the game is a mere fact, that you are not able to enjoy every single comment in the background and enjoy very well written characters.

    The story is entertaining, and it features characters from the Marvel universe that haven't yet surfaced in the movies, such as Fin Fang Foom, Lady Hellbender and the Nova Corps. Add in the requisite humor and self-deprecation and an eclectic killer soundtrack, and you get one of the most enjoyable games of the year.

    Guardians keeps you strapped in for the ride, and while it does dip once too often, the emotional highs outweigh the patience-testing lows. [Issue#366, p.108]
