    Best writing in a game in years, not a difficult game, just a lot of fun . Graphics are next gen and the characters are almost better than the ones in the movies. This game really surprised me

Todo el juego tiene referencias cintinuas al Universo Marvel, y está cuidado hasta el mínimo detalle. A nivel gráfico, sonido y doblaje al español, es perfecto. A nivel técnico cumple sin problemas. La duración es correcta, un juego corto pero completo, en las casi 20 horas que puede durar si vas parándote en cada detalle y referencia. El combate es sencillo pero entretenido, e incluye nuevas opciones y modificaciones durante toda la historia. Sin lugar a dudas, lo mejor es el desarrollo y las conversaciones de los personajes. Totalmente recomendable, se podría resumir como participar en un cómic de los Guardianes de la Galaxia.… Expand

    Jogo muito bom.
    Para quem gosta de histórias, o enredo é empolgante com diálogos divertidos.
    Nem era fã de guardiões da galáxia, só agora irei ver os filmes.

    A trilha sonora é genial.

    O maior problema é que ao avançar com o o personagem em meio a um dialogo, ele pode começar outro e deixar a fala anterior em aberto.
    Com o tempo vc pega o jeito e acaba evitando isso.

    During all their adventure it was nonstop laughing from my side. Really interesting story and characters.
    Gameplay is simple, but it won't make you bored.

    A blast to play over the weekend
    Pros
    1. Long and meaty original story
    2. Combat is well balanced and chaotic
    3. Soundtrack blends in very well
    4. A dream game for fans of the MCU
    5. The GOTG silly humour is on full display here
    Cons
    1. Could have been optimised better on PS5. A balanced 1440p/1620p @60hz mode would have been much appreciated.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is probably my second favorite modern Marvel game behind Spider-Man and slightly ahead of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on Switch.

GOTG gets a lot of things right and shows the value of having an old school, narrative driven, linear story that doesn't try to concern itself with live services or being a game that wants you to keep playing forever (*cough*Avengers*cough*). The story isn't quite on par with the James Gunn Guardians of the Galaxy movies but it comes close. Damn close in many spots. Graphically I found the game fantastic: Each location is visually distinct and really sells the illusion of being in space and visiting fantastical worlds while the character modeling, mocap, and lip sync is surprisingly well done for a multiplatform title. The level of detail is akin to Sony and Microsoft first party games. The soundtrack is a banger and the voice acting is superb.

    However, as much as I'd love to give the game a 9, I have to knock it down to an 8 for a few reasons:

    1) The constant banter gets old, very fast. You will hear the same line repeated multiple times, especially during prolonged fights and boss encounters. When exploring, the group is constantly talking and making quips or just outright holding your hand telling you where to go next. While a lot of the dialog is funny, the constant, never ending banter becomes grating, particularly when exploring to find collectibles. I started calling them the "Guardians of Never Shutting The Flork Up" because a moment of silence is rare indeed.

    2) The game is pretty easy. Playing on normal ("You got this... probably."), I never once felt like I was going to die. I never felt the need to use the huddle mechanic because everything died so quickly. Early boss fights were trivial. I switched to hard difficulty and it wasn't that much harder -- it just made certain enemies more bullet spongy.The only challenges on hard difficulty were the end stage bosses. I used the huddle mechanic maybe five times across the whole game and two of those times were on the chapter 14 boss.

    3) Performance was great until chapter 14. Rooms full of enemies, gold textures with fog, gold smoke, and god rays all over the place, plus all the particle effects from combat turned the game into a slideshow on several occasions. At a few points it became so bad that the only resolution was to pause, manually save, close the game and restart it. This would solve the problem for a room or two, but then it would return. This was the only problematic chapter. The game ran solidly before, and after, this point. Hopefully they can iron this out with future patches.

    Here are a few things that didn't bother me too much but might give others pause:

    The choices system is definitely not classic Biowarian -- so if you're expecting these choices to have any meaningful impact that will make repeat playthroughs significantly different, a la Mass Effect, you will be disappointed. Some choices will have game changing effects but nothing that fundamentally alters the structure of the story. It just changes the frequency or difficulty of some events or fights.

    There is a New Game Plus mode but there's little reason to play the game more than twice. Since the choices don't make any significant impact and the story always reaches the same conclusion regardless, the only reason to play a second time is to mop up any missed collectibles and make different decisions solely to hear the different dialog. If you don't care about either, this is a game you could play through once and be done with for good. Personally, I'm fine with that but your mileage may vary.

    All in all, I don't regret the purchase despite my reservations with past, recent Square-Enix titles. It's a fun romp that lives up to the crazy Guardians of the Galaxy branding.

I only picked it up after seeing a couple of reviewers I typically agree with say how pleased they were with the game, and I have to say, I have been pleasantly surprised.

    If you are expecting some revolutionary gameplay, Guardians will disappoint. The combat is relatively basic "use element A against enemy X" type stuff. Exploration is fun but with very few surprises. Yet I found myself looking forward to both the combat and the exploration, partly due to the incredible banter the team provides, and partly due to wanting to see what came next. The story is more based on the comic Guardians rather than those in the big Marvel movies, though if your experience is limited to the MCU, you'll know enough to catch on easily.

    Character development is where this game shines. It's like binge-watching your favorite Netflix show in video game form. It's loaded with dialogue, so much so that if you run/walk full speed between areas, you will often miss whole chunks of discussion between the team. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the jokes, and there are plenty of those to be had.

    On the downside, the game suffers from technical issues, even after the latest patch. There are some texture issues, pop-in in some scenes, and a few odd bugs, ranging from button prompts stuck on the screen to missing dialogue (I know Groot is just saying "I am Groot" each time, but I still want to hear it!). Another tick in the negative column is replayability. As I said before, the base gameplay is not super compelling, and even though you are given a multitude of choices during the game, they typically don't have far-reaching consequences. Once you experience the story, you might want another playthrough for kicks, but there's not enough here to justify more than 2 or 3 playthroughs.

    Still, it's a great single-player story-driven game and well worth your time.    … Expand

    Square definitely redeemed themselves after the travesty that was the Avengers game last year. It all starts with the characters and the story here.

I was very impressed with how funny it actually was at the end of the day. The story alone makes it an easy recommend for me.
    Unfortunately not everything comes together here as the combat and gameplay is at best boring and lame. There's very few upgrades to pick up throughout the game and alot of enemies, especially toward the end of the game, have huge health bars that make things grind to a slowdown. Also the massive amount of bugs that I ran into here involving character animations and clipping would fill at 30 min video. There were easily dozens of them every chapter and I have no idea what caused any of them to occur. I didnt have any crashes but the sheer amount of them really took me out of some scenes.
    Even still this is an easy recommendation for me. Especially for anyone who only knows these characters from the MCU as this is definitely much more focused on alot of comic book storylines and really can show the range that some of these characters can have. The story and characters here are definitely worth the price of admission, even if the combat and bugs tried to slow it down.    … Expand

    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.

    One of the highlights this year.

    This game not only looks good, it plays well and has a great story. Only the bugs spoil the joy. Chapter 12 was the worst so far with the bugs.

    Really really fun. Heavy on story over gameplay (even for someone who loves story heavy games). Seriously felt like 80% story to 20% gameplay. The 3rd act drags a fair bit as well, so I was a little tired out when all was said and done. Regardless of that, it's clearly a game that has surprised everyone. Myself included.

    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

    Seems word of mouth has spread fast - GOTG really is as well put together as the positive reviews suggest. Ultimately everything comes together to tell a great comic book story in an fun interactive way.

    In many ways it follows the success of other action adventure comic book games like spiderman and arkham and although at times comes close to those, it is not a perfect gameplay experience.

    In my opinion the combat gameplay is the weak link here but it is functional enough so as not to break pacing too much and at times can be quite challenging.    … Expand

    Youll be going forward through these linear sections, dealing with obstacles in the way and uing the other guradians to progress such as groot making a bridge or drax tipping things over or breaking walls.. and then there will be a fight, enemies will swarm you and you use your abilities and command the other 4 guardians for them to do teir special moves, and youll be able to fill up a meter to huddle up for some extra damage and listen to some classic 80s tunes while you kick alien butt.. at first this is all really fun, but eventually it just becomes tiresome, combat is so repetitive and a slog to get though due to how spongy enemies are, it just never feels satisfying and was my least favorite part of the game.. I enjoyed the traversing and problem solving, dealing with waves of bullet sponges, not so much…
    That’s being said, marvels guardians of the galaxy is a crazy goofy adevnute, there are great action pieces here.. the world is fun to get around, the writing is hilarious at times, and I loved the incorporation of 80s music,

    The game is set up exactly like the MCU GotG movies. There is tons of humor, lots of banter between the squad members, and a great space adventure to be experienced. It's nice that the voice actors and the graphics artists are not trying to emulate the looks of the MCU versions of Star-Lord et al., and each hero is a unique reinterpretation of the originals from the comic books.

    GotG is a squad-based light RPG in the style of Mass Effect. You control Star-Lord and give commands to the AI controlled party members. The game is single player and very linear, which is a good thing for story-based games, in a world where every game tries to be a 60-hours-long open world epic, or even worse, a live service game (Avengers, I'm looking at you).

    The graphics are great to look at, but the game's optimization is sub-par. On PS5 you can choose between a Quality mode (4K at 30 fps) and a Performance 60 fps mode that drops resolution lower than expected, down to just 1080p, along with lower quality settings. Animation is OK even though nothing extraordinary, but it's still a big improvement compared with the E3 2021 trailer where animation quality was utter junk. There are still patches coming to fix streaming issues and little visual bugs, but I don't expect developers to improve this game as much as they'd have to. There is a clear lack of budget and time to polish the game well enough.

    What this game lacks in technical deficiency makes up for it with an excellent soundtrack. There are lots of licensed songs from the '80s, as well an an original heavy metal album with songs written by the fictitious Star-Lord band. You can even read the in-game CD album's lyrics sheet, like everyone used to in the past, at the game's intro. And if you are a streamer, you can select to feature only the original album in the background in order to avoid music labels taking down your streams.

    Overall, GotG is a must play game for everyone. It has some technical deficiencies, but it also has a lot of heart inside. I'd rate it higher if it was more polished, but it's still a great game.    … Expand

    one of the biggest surprises of 2021 in my opinion.
    guardians of the galaxy is single player action adventure with heavy dialog and tale tale type choices that uses the movies as its bible for the humor and interaction and the comics for character origins and powers
    story: you are playing as starlord the leader of the guardians of the galaxy mercenaries for hire after you got a job to    one of the biggest surprises of 2021 in my opinion.
    guardians of the galaxy is single player action adventure with heavy dialog and tale tale type choices that uses the movies as its bible for the humor and interaction and the comics for character origins and powers

    story: you are playing as starlord the leader of the guardians of the galaxy mercenaries for hire after you got a job to make easy money you make your way into the quarantine zone there you will find something that quickly sets in motion a series of catastrophic events that threaten the peace of the fragile universe unless the team takes responsibility for their actions and eradicates the threat

    pros:

    - the game runs smooth and is very pc friendly

    - the game looks very good

    - of course the 80s music makes everything in the game so much better

    - the amount of funny dialog between the characters ,makes the whole game so real and as if you are watching the movie

    - the enemies have a cool very guardians of the galaxy feel to them

    - the huddle up mechanic which is basically a clutch button that you press for everyone to regroup on you and motivate everyone with 80s music is just so cool i sometimes used it for no reason just for the cool factor and of course to get rick rolled by the game

    - the space battles with your ship are a bit clunky but a surprisingly warm welcome i was seriously surprised they added them at all

    - the amount of times i laughed out loud because the jokes and humor were on point the whole game just try's to have fun with you and ease up very serious situations with humor and funny moments

    - the tale tale choices mechanic were also a warm welcome and they actually change the story the whole thing was very minor making you choose between 2 answers but still cool nonetheless

    cons:

    - no depth what so ever on the upgrade bench

    - no depth what so ever in the skills you choose for the guardians

    - combat is a little clunky and i switched to easy mode because all the enemies are basically bullet sponges plus its really disappointing you cant take over the other characters your just stuck with starlord giving orders to everyone

    - a lot of bugs and glitches found myself reloading the checkpoint a lot just because a wall didn't break or something didn't render or the game just straight up glitched out

    - the story felt a bit stretched at the end and isn't the strongest part of the game

    - Near the end they just started to recycle enemies and it felt like at some point Im fighting the same 4 types over and over again

    - sometimes the game will bug and everyone will just repeat their voice lines in battle like 3 or 4 times they have to fix it quick it really annoyed me and took off the whole immersion

    in conclusion the guardians of the galaxy surprised me a lot, a single player game with no microtransaction and actually done good this time unlike the avengers game ? now that's something very rare.

    i strongly recommend this game for marvel fans but only after a month or 2 because they got to fix the bugs and glitches which brings me to my final score a 8 out of 10    … Expand

    The voice acting is really good and I really enjoy how they made the characters different from the movie but better. They finally did Mantis justice too. I actually really liked all of the characters in this one, I feel like they got it right. The interactions and conversations are entertaining and learning more about things is optional.

    The gameplay is decently good. I like some of the mechanics but there are some gripes about controls and jumping mechanics. I missed a lot of gaps and holes because of some weird bugs where I got to the next ledge but somehow instead of grabbing the ledge the character fell down a pit anyway. I've been trapped between objects, stuck on objects, or otherwise character locked so I had to reload from the checkpoint. I've had my team just stand there and do nothing for parts of a fight. That one was rare. There were also audio bugs where I saw subtitles but no audio at all. There was an entire section of the game where Groot just didn't have audio.

    I enjoyed the story and making selections on how to handle things. I'd replay to see what difference it makes but I have other things to play. The costumes and collectibles are neat but nothing I care about. The upgrades seem a little limited, I really expected more upgrades but you can get everything pretty quickly in the game.

    Overall I liked it. I enjoyed playing through it. Wasn't too long but about what I expected. It's mostly on rails, still has a few issues a year in and little annoyances but I thought it was better than the movies.    … Expand

    My advice is, play the game once, and you'll enjoy the majority of it all the way through, but more than once you'll notice the technical and fundamental mechanics aren't all up to snuff.

So expect no ray tracing etc. The game maintains a steady framerate but there is a lot of clunkyness    My advice is, play the game once, and you'll enjoy the majority of it all the way through, but more than once you'll notice the technical and fundamental mechanics aren't all up to snuff.

    Graphically the game looks okay, i mean it's not a PS5 game and it's just an enhanced PS4 version. So expect no ray tracing etc. The game maintains a steady framerate but there is a lot of clunkyness in the underbelly.

    Sound is probably the best the game has to offer, from the sword slices to the blasters but mostly from the dialogue. The game realises what the average marvel fan wants - their characters talking and it does it brilliantly.

    It's still pretty bugged all the way through though. It just needed a couple months to iron them out, so a lot of time you'll be "load last checkpoint" to fix them. Quality control in 2020-2021 has severally fallen. So star lord will get stuck in debris, icons or UI will get stuck on screen, some events (mist puzzle solution) may not work as intended and your left with no option to move forward than load last checkpoint. On the PS5 one collectable is impossible to get with the correct developer way. You move toward a ledge and are stuck in a forever move back and forward along the same ledge. You can't escape the loop.

    Don't go near the ledge to walk across at all or it'll bug out. Go to the far left and just jump boot across, the plants look as if you'll fall through them, but there's enough to just hop across without actually landing properly at the other side to collect it.

    Some trophies may also look a lot like RNG but there's a trick to them, and they're not as hard to pull of as you think. Drax and the inquisitor for example. don't overthink it. Don't use special powers, switch difficulty to easy. and just use blasters. Takes a little time still but on the second health bar out of nowhere the Triangle will show up. Honestly the game is full of little nuances that'll annoy you the more you play.

    The game also has more filler than you'll find in most games (you will do a lot of walking, where you are unable to run). Filler like the brain maze, or the drax mind maze... just to lengthen the game time (there is a lot of that, some of it isn't bad though, it's just more obvious the second time you play it).

    Also has more sliding down chute sections that would make tomb raider blush. It even has a part where it feels as if it was ripped out of Mass Effect 2, you'll know it when you see it. It involves a moving platform. Also none of the choices you make really matter; it's not a true interactive experience. Feels mostly as if they wanted to do more with it but time restraints just make it feel false and empty. You lose nothing, you gain nothing. Linear is there to stay. So just enjoy what choice you want; don't overthink it.

    Guardians of the Galaxy takes elements from many different games to create a very generic single player experience. Without the dialogue, the music, and character interactions. It'd be maybe a 5. hollow clunky repetitive with a few throwaway take control of the ship experience.

    But hey no microtransactions, and you don't have to pay for "new outfits" as they are back to being collectable things in the game. And there is a new game plus in case you missed anything. (you can't skip cutscenes, and can only skip some parts of the dialogue though).

    Overall it's a fun game, and it's good. It's not perfect, and certainly has its share of bugs. But it's a slightly better Marvel Avengers although the overall storyline is still on par with it. Again. no online item level mumbo jumbo and no microtransactions. (that cannot be mentioned enough).    … Expand

    Fun, straightforward single-player adventure shooter. Emphasis on story and characters. Combat is simple but effective. At some point, it starts to feel like the game repeats itself, but overall it doesn't overstay its welcome. There are some minor bugs too, nothing game-breaking. Performance mode is disappointing so I ended up playing with quality mode as it looks considerably better.

    Very good game but there are some issues for me that keep it from being amazing. The combat still feels a little bit clunky at times, the animations and flow just aren't as smooth for example as Spider Man 2018 or Miles.

The one thing that really annoyed me throughout the play through is the "huddle up" mechanic. It was dumb, jarring in combat, and just seemed unnecessary.… Expand

    I genuinely enjoyed the game. The humor was good, the writing and story was enjoyable, and overall, I had a good time. However, the gameplay was often a bit too simplistic more my liking. I would recommend this game to people looking for a fun, easy, game with a good story, but more hardcore gamers may feel a bit disappointed with it.

    Fantastic story, and fun game which merits an 8. The reasons for not giving 9 or 10 are combat is a bit clunky. I had a few graphical issues clipping and pop in. Upgrading was too easy I had about 2k components at the end and nothing to spend on as I'd already bought all perks.

    It’s such a good game with such an embarrassing promo campaign:((
    Everything about this game is amazing. Except for maybe a gameplay itself. Sometimes it’s boring. But never the less. I really miss Deus Ex, but this game made me feel like Eidos can still do something amazing.
    Anyway…Just fking buy it! This game is really good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *** No real spoilers but may seem like there are***

    Ultimately, I think this game will end up being around a 7. At the time of writing this I'm about to start chapter 3 so take that for what it's worth. I just have to get some stuff off my chest about this game at this moment. The initial impression was very very good and I will say that this is NOT a bad game at all. But I'd be lying if I said it was without many flaws. It was all going nice until the end of chapter 1. It ends with you flying your ship (or you think your flying your ship). The game literally has an intense scene and all you do is watch it play out. The second I realized I wasn't actually controlling anything, I started to have the doubts creep in. I did overlook it until chapter 2. My F-in oath. I did F all for 35 minutes. It was essentially a 35 min interactive cutscene where all you have to do is press a button every 15-20 seconds and the game will do the rest for you. Oh you do a little walking .. that was the extent of the "gameplay" in chapter 2. I'm going to play the game through and just enjoy it for what it is, a great story driven game with good characters. That's it. if your looking for an immersive experience, this game will not do any of that for you. If your looking for a silly, solid story driven game where you can just sit back and watch the movie then buy it. I'm sure it will get a little better once more skills are unlocked and more upgrades become available but, when you really really look at this game and get past all the great music, graphics, etc. you will realize that it is very flawed. It IS better than Avengers I will give it that but buyer beware here. You will not feel like your Star lord because the game doesn't allow that. It constantly takes control away from you breaking any immersion that there could have been. I would not recommend this game at full price, wait until it's around the $30 mark or so. Has a lot of potential but overall, not very good.

    EDIT: Came around to love this game! Turned out to be one of my fav games from last year, not saying a lot but it was quite a good game.    … Expand

    Surprisingly good! I could nitpick this to death, but a straightforward, single-player story with combat that is fun enough to stay engaging is a nice find nowadays. This 80s kid rocked hard to every beat and was reminded exactly why I play video games.

    A fun, lighthearted and warm title. The plot is more complex than it might seem at first. Very cool characters, very well acted, written and designed.
    Gameplay is a bit repetitive, but enjoyable. Overall, the game design, world building and concepts are stunning. The environment design in this game is amazing. One of the best contemporary sci-fi games. Recommended.

    This game is really good! The story is great and you just can't stop laughing at all the interactions the Guardians do all along the way. However, this game lacks of difficulty challenge and the gameplay can get a little boring cause of it's lack of depht. I hope we get a sequel with a better gameplay!

Геймплей без глубины, довольно прост - мотаемся по арене, стреляем во врагов и применяем скиллы, свои и союзников, иногда врубая групповую ульту. Пофанится можно. Также есть несколько моментов с загадками, тоже несложными, ориентированными на внимательность. Напарники не умолкают ни на секунду, постоянно обсуждают происходящее вокруг, и от их болтовни иногда устаешь, шутки в основном безобидные и наивные чтоли, хотя проскакивали и хорошие. Музыки очень много, причем часто это известные треки, которые звучат в подходящий момент, это круто. Вообще, игру приятно проходить, она не душная, легкая, задорная. Мне понравилась.… Expand

The game's songs are another extremely strong point in the game, they are excellent! As negative points I can point out repetitive and boring parts and also the facial expressions, which for a 2021 game are horrible. I think the game took a little longer... if it had 2/3 hours less, it would be ideal!… Expand

    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]
