    Amazing story and atmosphere! Bit bonkers that collectibles cannot be collected in chapter select if you want trophies

    Absolute gem these days, great single player experience. Tons of humor, great story, engaging gameplay. Still not finished, might swap to 10/10. Personal favorite for the game of the year !

    Very good game, nice history and dialogs. Pleasure to play a game without in game transactions... I know that the game has not much purchases and it is bad, because this game 200 times better than worst Marvel Avangers. I Hope developers understand that. 9/10 from me, just small problems with animations, another things in game are perfect.

    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. 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 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

    Pros
    - Amazing soundtrack
    - Well written characters which make you want to care about them
    - Graphics, game is gorgeous
    - Setting, you get to see plently of places across the marvel galaxy which are all very fun to explore and experience
    - Gameplay, fun and fluid like all games should be, small but great skill tree which adds a few abilities to you and your friends. All of which are fun to use.
    - Story, well written and enjoyable from start to end. Even emotional at times.
    - DRAX IS AMAZING AND SO FUNNY

    Cons
    - The game has pretty much no replay ability due to it being pretty linear. Most levels you will experience everyting without being able to explore.
    - Gameplay doesn't evolve enough, im the end you are still shooting bad guys with the same guns as you did in the beginning.
    - Ending could have done with a bit more fleshing out

    Overall I am very happy with this game and recommend it to anyone who likes marvel comics, movies, or games.    … Expand

    Lugar garantido ao lado do Last of Us e God Of War , jogo maravilhoso.

    Gráficos excelentes, excelente dublagem, dialógos muito bem elaborados e história fascinantes. O jogo só deixa a desejar na jogabilidade , visto que são poucos comandos de ataque, o que torna um pouco repetitivo as vezes, mas é um jogo obrigatório para todo fã da Marvel. Excelente jogo para todas as plataformas.

    Awesome game that seemed to come from knowhere. Great story, watching the team grow as you progress through the game is great fun. Combat is alot better than I expected after you get most of your abilities. The Writing is great throughout with a few laugh out loud moments. If you like the mcu Guardian's of the galaxy you should definitely play this game.

    Tho, story, the blabbering, the atmosphere and the music are insanly good. Oh and also it good a decent lenght of 15 hours with replayability cause of some intresting dialouge options

    A very pleasant surprise from Guardians of the Galaxy. Story is fantastic and the characters are just as loveable as their mcu counterparts. The gameplay is simple, but fun and exploring the different worlds was so much fun! The only downfall is the combat can be repetitive after playing for 20-25 hours. Would be a nice option in a sequel to switch the team leader in combat.

    Guardians of the Galaxy has an excellent story with strong character development accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack. The narrative is moving and filled with a masterful blend of seriousness and humor. There are several laugh out loud moments and several tear jerker moments. The combat is fun and plays smoothly. Overall, this exceeded expectations and is one of the best new titles of 2021.

    I was seriously surprised with how good this game was. I expected to enjoy it more than my little time with Marvel's Avengers but not this much.

Guardians of the Galaxy oozes with personality, sticking with that merry band of misfits well and creating amazing connections between all of them. All the team members are important in the writing, gameplay, and story. Nothing was lacking in these regards and they all synced well. The combat is a little simplistic as well as the upgrade system, but it really starts to pick up the more abilities you upgrade, and it was insanely fun to combine all of the Guardian's abilities, syncing them together with the correct items to do large amounts of damage to one heavy enemy of lay waste to a bunch of smaller enemies. The level design is excellent and the soundtrack, while horrendous for streamers with all the copyrighted music, has great choices. I think the biggest flaw of the game is that the mechanics of the game are really too simple, and there isn't a whole lot of depth despite the almost DMC-style of ranking system after every battle. You don't really get combos with melee or your guns, and the main way of showing style is how you combine and use your team's abilities. Overall you can tell this game had much more flavor and personality in comparison to Avengers, and doens't feel nearly as generic. It is fresh and fun, and I'm happy because there is probably going to be young kids playing this game and absolutely loving it. That, and no microtransactions plus a NG+ mode means I'll probably do another playthrough soon.… 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]
