    É muito bom mas não foi bem visto por causa do Marvel vingadores e vale muito a pena

    Holy **** an actual NON open world, but just a great, linear, story focussed game with actually good gameplay and fun characters, and isnt BLOATED with open world trash? 69/10

    I’m surprised by how good this game is. The performances are top notch. At no point did I feel like comparing the characters to the movie and I’m in love with all the characters all over again. Great work by the devs.

    This game deserve the 10, not Elden Ring.
    The combat might feel a little chunky compared to the graphic and the story but these last 2 are an absolute BLAST!
    A games that surely deserve MORE .
    One of the best games of the last decade.

    The OST it's amazing and the Guardians of the Galaxy Vibes are incredible.

    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.

    Pros:
    - Graphics
    - Great characters, banter, humor and decent story
    - liked the telltale style dialogue system/ sporadic choice system

    So-So:
    - 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.

    Excellent game, with great general and detailed story about the characters. The graphics are very beautiful. The gameplay is average, nothing special, but fun enough. It's not a 10, because I found several bugs, but nothing that spoils the experience.

    I played it on game pass and it was amazing. Fun characters and good story. But the gameplay is very repetitive at the end.

And i hate the fact, that you are not able to buy the original movie characters with the voice actors. I mean, we got so used to them, i cant get over the fact that i am playing with some other dudes. It just doesnt work for me. I lockily got it on Xbox GamePass and its not even that fun for that money.… Expand

    The best Marvel game to date by far. It is a very entertaining and fun game, the mechanics are wonderful and the story is up there with the best MCU movies. A great job, congratulations.

    The dissonance of the characters not being 1-to-1 with their movie versions is the first hurdle to overcome. Then there are a few technical issues. But if you can overcome these (very easy to do) then the game is really, REALLY, good. The story is expertly crafted and just as deftly acted and rigged.

I laughed and cried more in this game than I have at any Marvel movie and I can't recommend it enough. I have to IMPLORE anyone who plays it though, to finish it. The game itself is pretty great, but the ending alone would be enough to make this game get a recommendation from me.    … Expand

The bugs weren't game-breaking, but they were enough to break the immersion. The combat was fun 70% of the time, however, there were a lot of buttons to push and abilities to remember which is hard to do when in the middle of a big battle. Overall it was great and I highly recommend it.… 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.

    Good fun game especially because of the beautiful graphics and nice story with so many funny moments. I wish they had a different voice cast, I really had difficulty in realizing whether its Rocket or Star Lord speaking at many times in team conversation - Only the subtitles helped me for that issue.

    Spectacular story telling, awesome badass moments, fun and engaging combat, insanely nostalgic and great music, and some of the best graphics i’ve ever seen. I almost didn’t get this because of how they butchered the avengers game, but I can 100% say they’ve redeemed themselves!

    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]
