    Awesome graphics, funny and smart dialogues, good enough story, just pure fun. This game came out of nowhere for me and it was a refreshing experience. I can easily say that it is one of the best games of PS5. Also the lenght of the game is just perfect. 15-20h lineer campaign with good amount of collectibles and progression system. Plus perfectly balanced platinum trophy. Just perfect.

    Phenomenal game. Filled to the brim with banter, and I was invested with every character. Great story, gameplay, and graphics. Exactly what I'd want out of a Guardians game. Do yourself a favor and play this gem!!!

    Near perfect! I was super excited to play, and darn the anticipation was worth it. I experienced some bugs but not game breaking...like the slide towards the end...but I only dinged it a point for some plot convenience. Some things just happened to push the story...but still darn good. Wish I could keep playing for the first time...but it is over. Hope there is a sequel

    К сожалению, игра далеко не идеальна - ТУХЛАЯ боевка, репитативность, некоторая затянутость за знаком минус.
    По порядку - драчки максимально пресные, без глубины, тактики, интересных механик и прочего. Даже с учетом особенностей дуалсенса не ощущалась стрельба, удары, взрывы и т д, будто 20ч месишь тряпичные марли - удовольствие ниже среднего, бегаешь и прожимаешь абилки команды, местами прям ну супер уныло было. Разнообразие противников так же оставляет желать лучшего - кучка рескинов. Битвы с боссами такие же скучные, как и с рядовыми противниками.
    Головоломок и загадок нет, весь геймплей сводится к беганию между комнатками, и просмотром кинца, или слушанию трындежа (хотя трындеж порой годный), и пострелушками.
    Некоторые локации затянуты, битвы так же затянуты, куча устаревших геймдизайнерских решений, вроде БЕСКОНЕЧНЫХ узких проходов, покатых крыш, вентиляций и прочих непотребностей.
    Как ни странно, но даже с учетом всех минусов - один из претендентов на игру года, но опять же, с учетом общей тухлости 2021 на крутые релизы, а так же за отсутствие в проекте современных болячек ААА-индустрии, в виде лутбоксов, сервисных помоек, донатных скинов, ускорителей прокачки и всякого другого мусора.

    It is a good single-player adventure with relaxed gameplay, nice characters, beautiful locations and finished plot. Took about 20 hours to complete and it was the most interesting AAA game that has been released released this year.

    I really wish they would make more games like this. I did have some qualms, but it definitely seems like the developers really loved the comics/movies and threw everything they could in to make the game cooler.

    The graphics are outstanding. All of the environments are well done and seeing the characters move through them each with individual animations is great. The facial animation is absolutely top notch and made me realize how much harder the emotional moments hit when you can see tears welling in someone's eyes. Impressive.

    The combat is pretty cool as well, it definitely pushes you toward using the other Guardians abilities which gets to be really fun without being overly complicated (four abilities each is perfect). I wasn't really a fan of the way they implemented the "huddle" feature because it grinds the combat to a halt when you start it. Once the music kicks in and everyone is boosted that is awesome, but maybe cut out the talking and decision making bit.

    Excellent music with some songs that really surprised me and fit perfectly with the Guardians vibe from the movies. The voice acting was mostly great-Star Lord's voice was really irritating for about three quarters of the game, but it grew on me by the end. For some reason he kept reminding me of Bill from Bill & Ted.

    The story was good, with lots of Guardians characters showing up and some real funny moments. The decision system does make me want to play through it again and I think It does help that the characters talk almost non stop while on every mission, even if it does lead to some cheesy lines and jokes that fall flat. It's a constant reminder that these are actual characters that you are traveling with and not just extra guns to have around.

    It should also be said that the game felt incredibly long. Every level seemed to stretch on forever without much narrative reason. I was really ready for the game to be over about half way through. It does have quite a few high points paced well throughout, but there are definitely bits that drag.

    The only other real quick PSA: I didn't like the character design for Gamora or Drax, there were times when it really brought the game down for me. But, in the early chapters (3&4) you can pick up their 2014 Movie outfits that are way better.

This game is an absolute love letter to the Marvel Universe and I absolutely cannot wait to experience what is next in this series.

    Good day to everyone. Its your super hero behind the mask and under the helmet RedRangerRobin

    Today I take you on an adventure with a review of Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy, developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix.

    You play as Star Lord through out the galaxy and adventure that embark on with your team. You are tied to just playing as star lord but can command the other guardians to do certain actions in and out of combat, now I never thought this concept would work to its full potential, but it does work better then any other game I could think of with this type of game play especially in battle. In combat you feel like a general on a battle field commanding your soldiers to unleash a devastating attack while you are distracting them with your blasters which unfortunately in this game feel like the weakest weapon in the game unless you are unloading a special attack, but none the less they do work. Combat at times can feel a little chaotic but its a good thing that works in this game. Each combat scenario you do will give you a grade at the end with points that allows you to unlock more abilities for each guardian. One very unique thing in combat that I never got tired was the huddle system where if you were losing a battle you could do a football huddle with the other guardians and boost morale in the battle, then an amazing 80’s song would play which amped you the player and your team up to win the battle

    While you are not in combat you are on your ship the Milano talking with the guardians finding out back stories, upgrading Star Lord Specific abilities from currency or tech pieces that you find from the places and planets you visit. When you are on planets and not in combat the games feels very familiar I would easily compare it to Naughty Dogs Uncharted from the exploration, collecting costumes and logs to sliding down a mountain side and having to jump at the last minute to make it to the next cliff before plummeting to your ultimate death.

    The Soundtrack is one thing I want to talk about in this game it is by far one of the best licensed soundtracks when it comes to video games for myself I would easily put this soundtrack right up there with Mafia 3. When it battle there is nothing greater then listening to the final countdown by Europe or I need a hero by Bonnie Tyler which I always associate with the movie Footloose. The game is filled with lots of 80’s rock and pop hits which is very cool and nice to see because what would Guardians Of The Galaxy be without the awesome licensed music.

    Each Guardian is just like how they are portrayed in the movies, Star Lord is his comical witty self, Gamora is quiet but deadly, Drax is funny but on a path of revenge, Groot can only say one sentence and yup you guess it “ I am Groot”, Rocket is the furious potty mouth raccoon every one knows and loves & I would not have them any other way.

    Guardians Of The Galaxy is way more than I expected I went into this game blind and with no expectations but I loved every moment and I highly recommend for everyone to pick this game up at some point or another. I give Guardians of the Galaxy a 9/10.

    Great job Eidos Montreal and Square Enix

    Of the minuses, only bugs. Sometimes you had to reload the checkpoint due to the fact that your partner was stuck and he was not sent, in battle he was not, it was not possible to use his abilities.

    -Эти персонажи вам западут больше,чем киношные, и не потому что вы больше времени с ними проводите,а потому что они не сделаны карикатурными,как тот же Драгс Батисты или Несуразный Квил,который в моменты какой-то отсталый

    -Арт тут просто прекрасен.Столько разных планет и мест придётся посетить и всё просто мякотка для глаз

    -Небольшая разветлённость в диалогах.Мелочь,а приятно для вариативности

    -Боёвка на любителя.И да первые часов 5 скучновата.Но потом с большим открытием способностей,даже по кайфу пытаться красиво поубивать на локации ребят.Да и бои короткие,которые потом переходят опять в кат-сцены,так что не успеваешь заскучать.

    I was pretty skeptical of this game at first. Knowing how Marvels Avengers was, I did not have high hopes for this game. Man am I glad I was wrong!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly best game I’ve played in a while, if you’re into Marvel I totally recommend this game. The game capture the banter of all the Guardians flawlessly, and puts in a good laugh. The story also was very unique and allowed the player to have control of what happened in the game. Great game, definitely will play this again Expand

    So good. Great story-driven game with exceptionally good writing. Plays like a lightweight Uncharted type adventure, with combat somewhere between Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy 7 remake. Had some strange difficulty spikes here and there, but nothing insurmountable, and the combat doesn't really open up until the second half when you unlock more of the team's abilities.

Really some stunning bosses and set pieces. Was not expecting to like this as much as I did, but super happy with the way it came out. Expand

A big concern from the trailers was the comedy. it came off as incredibly corny and seemed as if it was going to be forced throughout the game. Im happy to say i was wrong there as well. The banter between the characters is very natural and feels as if they really are having conversations with each other. Drax may have some of my favorite lines in the game. The story itself is very good, has some real moments with heart, and kept a good pace throughout. The gameplay is pretty fun but is also my only real complaint with the game. While the combat system works fine, it can be really repetitive at times, and i feel it needs more refining in certain areas. Ultimately the game won me over very early on and i am happy i gave it a chance because the trailers did not do this game justice. In fact the trailers seemed to have hurt the game. So it's good to see the word of mouth is getting it the recognition it deserves. Expand

    I went into this game with really low expectations after Avengers, but boy was I in for a pleasant surprise. This game is a blast!

This game is a blast! The combat can be a bit overwhelming at first because a big part of it involves directing your fellow Guardians while you play as Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord). But there’s such a wide variety of enemies that you’re forced to change it up and try new things, so it never gets boring or too repetitive. Despite not being an open-world game, GotG provides so much action, adventure, & exploration that I found myself not caring too much. I’m happy to report that it is not a short game, at least, not as short as I’d feared. The story is comprised of 16 chapters that each took me about 1-2 hours to complete (give or take). If you’re someone like me who likes to find collectibles & outfits, then it will probably run you about 20-25 hours of gameplay.

    By far, the best thing about this game (besides the 80s music!) is the characters. They may not look like their movie counterparts, but they talk & act just like them and I didn’t realize how much it mattered to me until now. Rocket is still Rocket, Drax still takes everything literally (and has that hilarious laugh). Their familiarity & chemistry is what makes this game great. I was also surprised at how many other familiar characters are featured (or mentioned) in the game. There’s so many references to Marvel lore that fans are going to have a field day. As with any game, there is always room for improvement and GotG is no exception. At multiple points while playing, I found myself thinking of ways this game could’ve been so much better (like being able to switch between characters). Despite those moments when it left me wanting, I enjoyed the heck out of it nevertheless. So for that reason I’m giving it an 8 out of 10. Definitely worth the $60 price.

    Truly next generation, a perfect 10. I would not have ever played this game if it hadn't been part of PS Extra, and it was an eye opening experience.

    The game stood out immediately due to it's graphical quality on ps5, with extreme detail and lovingly designed sets rendered in perfect 4k. I later found out I was running in performance mode instead of quality or raytracing. The score is marvelous and cinematic, and if you grew up in the 80ies there will never be a better game soundtrack.

    But the true distinction in this game is in the writing. It's written at a level of a Marvel blockbuster, with constant meaningful dialog by the characters, but stretching over the week or so that it'll take you to complete the game. On a deeper level, the story is meaningful and interesting.

    This makes this game a novel work of art. I can't stress enough how big of a step this is - this is the game where the family gets together to watch the player complete just for the sake of getting the story.

    A special shout out to the actors and voice actors in this game. For licensing reasons, the games feature character models different from the cinematic actors, which to me has been offputting in the past. In this game, the actors and writers did such a phenomenal job that the dissonance (which is explained away by alternate timelines) disappeared and I fully bought into their portrayal.

    At 10/10, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is still criminally underrated.

    - the combat lacked any challenge or depth. Kind of felt mindless spray and pray, and wait for cooldowns and then spam special abilities without really caring which is most effective.

    In the end, the gameplay just could not carry the game to greater heights. I think I died once early game in combat, and died maybe 5 times because I failed a qte in this game. i did enjoyed the characters and banter. This is also a surprisingly beefy game, considering its linear design, clocking me over 15-20 hours.

    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.
