    What a fantastic game. Had so much fun with it. The characters were really well done, the story fantastic, the gameplay clever and enjoyable. Over all just a fun adventure. The only down fall is it isn't longer.

    For anyone not playing it because The Avengers game was a let down, well you're letting down yourself

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy ist ein klassisches Third-Person Action-Adventure. Die Geschichte ist dabei so spannend erzählt und das Gameplay geht so gut von der Hand, dass man sich eher wie in einem interaktiven Action-Film fühlt. Die Grafik ist detailreich und bunt und der Soundtrack ist der Hammer. Gerade für Personen, die in den 80er Jahren aufgewachsen oder Fan dieser Musik sind, werden begeistert sein. Das Gameplay an sich ist eher konventionell. Dieses stört aber zu keiner Zeit, denn die Erzählweise und der Humor im Spiel sind wirklich fesselnd. Insgesamt ein unterhaltsamer, wilder Ritt durchs Weltall und ein echtes Must-Play!

    Good game. Fun, exciting, intense. Unfortunately, it cannot be called a masterpiece, but it's definitely worthy of praise and to be tried.

    Nice game. Loading slow but nice graph and history. The best trick in this game is the guardians dialog.

    What a pleasure to play in a lively environment, a perfectly mastered narration and really endearing characters, it's teeming with details, the humor is present without being heavy.

    The French dubs are excellent and a super quality soundtrack, too bad for headphone audio, the sound is a bit weak and the 3d sound is a bit average, even trying to fine-tune the audio settings.

    The gameplay is simple but effective, graphics level, I love the artistic direction, it's very fluid on ps5, very few bugs.

    The dialogues between the characters reveal a lot of very interesting information about this universe and for the older ones, a lot of nods to the 80s and 90s.

    The very correct lifespan (finished in ~23h without rushing me, searching everywhere), the chapters follow one another well, we don't see the time passing.
    Difficulty level, the normal mode is really too simple, the difficult mode is recommended to put a little challenge.

    Not at all disappointed, it's a good big surprise for a game I wasn't expecting, it's really fun.    … Expand

    I dont understand those ultimative postive reviews...

    Its a solid and good game, yes. And the dialoges are written really well.

    BUT, it just feels like the spiderman game for the ps4.
    What i am trying to say is: overall its good, but not revolutionary...

    Full of corny jokes and amazing songs, Guardians of the Galaxy may be called a pleasant experience. Although it's not a masterpiece I spent a couple of enjoyable evenings with it. Unfortunately, sometimes I had a feeling that the game was way too repetitive

    The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack was excellent!

    I, like so many others, really enjoyed the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack and have downloaded a lot of the songs. What I really loved about it was that they were great songs that were not that well known (or forgotten at this point, maybe) until GotG put them in the film.

    Amazing!Amazing!Amazing! This game is awesome and you will have so much fun playing it. I guess I never had this amount of fun in a game.every dialogue is funny and the relationship between the guardians is hilarious.
    The gameplay is also very good.
    If this game was built by rockstar or naughty dog it definitely would have been the game of the year.

    Worth playing. I've read a lot of reviews about this and finally decided to give it a try since it was on PSPlus. The story is fun and it's a nice kind of origin story to a version of the Guardians. I never read the comics but I did enjoy this take on their backstory.

I never read the comics but I did enjoy this take on their backstory. I'm not sure what difference in game decisions make as I played through it once but I'd play it again if there were some DLC.

    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

    It was a mediocre action game but overall story was okay. I couldn’t wait to see the end of the game so I am done with it and move on. Overall it was a cheap action game that I won’t play again. I don’t think I will ever play marvel game series again.

    An exciting, funny and thoroughly enjoyable summer blockbuster video game that has clearly been overlooked since its release. This is single-player gaming at its near finest.

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

    Amazing experience, story is very good, its on pair with the newer movies. Gameplay is kinda lackluster as you can play only with starlord. But nothing too bad, the main stuff here is absolutely the story, humour and interaction between characters.

    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]
