    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

    One of the best Ps5 game I have played in a long time. Actions are really good, storyline is perfect and the dialogues are so funny. It was a rollercoaster ride

    I can't find the words to express my general delight in this game! Everything about it is great, from the Guardians themselves and their humor to the great music, and a special kudos to the folks at Eidos Montreal for creating the Star-Lord Band! Love you and your game!

    Guardians of the Galaxy is a great game. It captures the essense of the franchise so perfectly and the character depictions are amazing. The graphics are marvelous and the gameplay is fresh with combo options up to you. Where the game is less than stellar is the repetitive enemies sometimes wave after wave. It can get old after 3 - 4 hours but the chemistry between the characters andGuardians of the Galaxy is a great game.

I would give it a 9 but like I said the repetitive and generic enemies keep it an 8.… Expand

    El juego es una locura, 100% recomendado, a pesar que tenga el nombre de square enix…los desarrolladores son diferentes a los de Avengers
    El juego es un siguiente paso a Square Enix y muy bien logrado, el juego tiene a veces sus fallos pero nada que no te impida seguir disfrutándolo

    Was a little sceptical playing this with all new actors, but surprisingly impressed. Awesome story, unexpected turns. Combat not great, but ability and upgrades handy.

    It features a great story and genuinely funny characters, but the game is held back by run of the mill combat and repetitive elements.

    a fun game with a good story and great character interaction. one of the best of 2021. the boss fights can be tediously annoying and some of the battles seem to bite of more than they can chew , trying to control all 4 characters, but still great. i'd suggest playing on a ps5 though, even on ps4 pro the load times are horrid.

    An absolute blast from start to finish, a lot of fun, brilliant characters, lots of laughs, great gameplay and really lives up to Guardians of the Galaxy. A brilliant take and one that you should definitely try.

    Довольно слабая игра несмотря на большой хайп. Вероятно в 21 году просто было слишком мало достойных адвенчур и через пару лет о ней все забудут. Сюжет игры можно уместить в 1 предложение и его никак не назовешь оригинальным. Из достоинств - визуально неплохо проработанный мир и забавные диалоги между персонажами, постоянно комментирующими все происходящее.Довольно слабая игра несмотря на большой хайп.

    Words cannot describe what an amazing game Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy was. Square Enix really went all out on delivering an incredible journey I loved even more than Insomniac's Spider-Man.

While IWords cannot describe what an amazing game Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy was. Square Enix really went all out on delivering an incredible journey I loved even more than Insomniac's Spider-Man. Telling an amazing and compelling story where all your choices matter, this game was just as much fun to watch as it was to play as I went on so many adventures with this lovable cast. While I only 'liked' them after seeing their first movie in 2014, I 'LOVE' them after going on this journey with them in 2022. This game felt more like a sequel than the second movie did by really expanding on each Guardian and growing their characters, occasionally making me super emotional and always increading my love for each one of them. And while I dare not spoil the plot, I will say the journey this game takes you on comes with many twists and turns you never expect and always makes you excited to play more.

    Gameplay may be secondary to the story, but it definitely has no shortcomings. The combat is a blast, the world always charming to explore, and the music a constant intense and fantastic. Doing combos with your characters and leading your team into battle always feels so satisfying, and while you technically only control Star-Lord, you really do feel like you're always playing as a team. There are a good amount of glitches, and perhaps a crash here or there, but even so it's always easy to work around or catch yourself back up with each setback.

    Had I played this game last year, there's no doubt in my mind it would have made my Top 10 list for 2021. This game is a true masterpiece and a work of love and passion, and singlehandedly made me love the Guardians even more than I already did. I can't recommend this masterpiece enough and I hope more of my friends out there experience it. It really is flarking amazing.    … Expand

    I was initially turned off by this game due to the disaster that was Marvel's Avengers, but I finally decided to give Guardians of the Galaxy a chance. And I'm glad I did. This is a narrative master, with great characters, fun game play, great dialog and unlocks, very good graphics, and no microtransactions! I give this a 8.5/10

This studio definitely doesn’t know what they are doing and don’t care about quality control and it’s a shame that Marvel let them do this game and ruin it. If it wasn’t for a fun story telling I would have given this 1, but the story is where this game shines. I think they should have probably just made a movie and it would be very successful. As a game, objectively this is a terrible game. Yea it’s massive, but in terms of variety it’s worse than the games from the 90s. The main gameloop is just terrible. The piloting game loop is bad too. I disagree with the reviews completely and feel like this was a waste of my time and money as I trusted the reviews when buying this game. I can’t believe such a terrible game received such high reviews! I think most other reviewers simply rate it high because it’s guardians of the galaxy and they overlook the fact that the gameplay is bad and buggy. I completed the game in January 2022 and all these bugs that ruin the experience are all still there! No updates to fix it! Unbelievable! This ain’t Sekiro folks, that’s for sure! But it surely has the ratings of Sekiro for some weird reason.… Expand

    Story Review without spoilers

    I will rate only the story, since it is for me the most important aspect on games.

    It is a nice story however it’s often times goofy and nowhere near „stunning story“ as it is praised. You can have a good time with it, but please don’t expect witcher 3 or mass effect level of greatness.

    Very surprised with the overall quality of the game. Towards the end, combat can get repetitive but the story is very good and the characters are well developed, with their little quirks adding elements of comedy throughout the game. Really think the developers did an amazing job on this !

    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]
