    Fighting is amazing, visuals are awesome, gameplay is stellar. Combos are dope as well as the easy battle system. Was very surprised this would be a good game. However Disney continues to pander to the female antagonists and don’t ever use men anymore. Seems sexist.

    there was nothing for the game. but the amazing dialogs, good gameplay and plot made me forget about the technical problems (potentially the game had its release well in advance). no doubt it would be a potential goty winner if it weren't for that.

    По порядку - драчки максимально пресные, без глубины, тактики, интересных механик и прочего. Даже с учетом особенностей дуалсенса не ощущалась стрельба, удары, взрывы и т д, будто 20ч месишь тряпичные марли - удовольствие ниже среднего, бегаешь и прожимаешь абилки команды, местами прям ну супер уныло было. Разнообразие противников так же оставляет желать лучшего - кучка рескинов. Битвы с боссами такие же скучные, как и с рядовыми противниками.
    Головоломок и загадок нет, весь геймплей сводится к беганию между комнатками, и просмотром кинца, или слушанию трындежа (хотя трындеж порой годный), и пострелушками.
    Некоторые локации затянуты, битвы так же затянуты, куча устаревших геймдизайнерских решений, вроде БЕСКОНЕЧНЫХ узких проходов, покатых крыш, вентиляций и прочих непотребностей.
    Как ни странно, но даже с учетом всех минусов - один из претендентов на игру года, но опять же, с учетом общей тухлости 2021 на крутые релизы, а так же за отсутствие в проекте современных болячек ААА-индустрии, в виде лутбоксов, сервисных помоек, донатных скинов, ускорителей прокачки и всякого другого мусора.    … Expand

    Fun game with some of the best dialogue I’ve heard from a video game in a verrrry long time. I hope SE uses this as the benchmark for all their future superhero games because this is significantly better than Avengers by about 15 and a half country miles.

    The graphics are outstanding. All of the environments are well done and seeing the characters move through them each with individual animations is great. The facial animation is absolutely top notch and made me realize how much harder the emotional moments hit when you can see tears welling in someone's eyes. Impressive.

    The combat is pretty cool as well, it definitely pushes you toward using the other Guardians abilities which gets to be really fun without being overly complicated (four abilities each is perfect). I wasn't really a fan of the way they implemented the "huddle" feature because it grinds the combat to a halt when you start it. Once the music kicks in and everyone is boosted that is awesome, but maybe cut out the talking and decision making bit.

    Excellent music with some songs that really surprised me and fit perfectly with the Guardians vibe from the movies. The voice acting was mostly great-Star Lord's voice was really irritating for about three quarters of the game, but it grew on me by the end. For some reason he kept reminding me of Bill from Bill & Ted.

    The story was good, with lots of Guardians characters showing up and some real funny moments. The decision system does make me want to play through it again and I think It does help that the characters talk almost non stop while on every mission, even if it does lead to some cheesy lines and jokes that fall flat. It's a constant reminder that these are actual characters that you are traveling with and not just extra guns to have around.

    It should also be said that the game felt incredibly long. Every level seemed to stretch on forever without much narrative reason. I was really ready for the game to be over about half way through. It does have quite a few high points paced well throughout, but there are definitely bits that drag.

    The only other real quick PSA: I didn't like the character design for Gamora or Drax, there were times when it really brought the game down for me. But, in the early chapters (3&4) you can pick up their 2014 Movie outfits that are way better.    … Expand

    The game does everything real well. Music and dialogue are exceptional. The areas/levels were diverse and well planed out. The only Knock is the gameplay left more, I think I needed more skills or more customization of what I wanted my party members to do. The balance in the amount of combat to navigation was a little light on the combat side.

    Definitely a solid purchase with no regrets,    The game does everything real well. Music and dialogue are exceptional. The areas/levels were diverse and well planed out.

    Positives first, the game is just plain FUN. This game could’ve been made in the PS2 era & it would’ve fit right in, which I’m using as a compliment! Just a straightforward single player video game that feels so rare nowadays. The combat is hectic in a very satisfying way too! Some people complained about only being able to play as Star-Lord but that would’ve made things wayyy too messy with this combat system, if there is ever a sequel that goes completely over the top I could see it happening though. The graphics are great & the soundtrack goes hard too. All of the Guardians’ actors gave a great performance despite me being so used to the movie actors for them. I also really liked the choice & dialogue systems, I love replay-ability options like these.
    The complaints I do have are more minor, nothing in this game aggravated me to the point of dinging the score lower but I wasn’t hooked by the story as much as I wanted to be. At times it truly shined, ESPECIALLY the parts with Peter & his mother which really tugged at my homesick heartstrings. I get how the bickering between the Guardians makes sense in-universe & is how they usually are, but there’s SO much dialogue in this game even if it’s idle talking. Sometimes it just got a bit too much for me even if I liked all of the characters & their performances. The most glaring problem is the weird optimization that still hasn’t been patched on PS5 almost 2 years later. There are strange large frame drops often & a lot of bugs. Some of the bugs were really funny like when enemies would die & randomly have their bodies do a 180 twist before ragdolling across the room. Other bugs were annoying clipping issues & I would get stuck in the environments at least once per chapter, making me have to reload an auto save which thankfully never cost me a lot of progress, One part during a mid-game combat gauntlet a large mini boss enemy got caught in the ground and died instantly, leading to the rest of the combat encounter’s arena not opening up and allowing me to proceed. I had to sit through the dialogue all over again though.
    Overall I had a lot of fun with the Guardians & I hope one day a sequel gets greenlit, there’s so much potential for future titles!    … Expand

A big concern from the trailers was the comedy. it came off as incredibly corny and seemed as if it was going to be forced throughout the game. Im happy to say i was wrong there as well. The banter between the characters is very natural and feels as if they really are having conversations with each other. Drax may have some of my favorite lines in the game. The story itself is very good, has some real moments with heart, and kept a good pace throughout. The gameplay is pretty fun but is also my only real complaint with the game. While the combat system works fine, it can be really repetitive at times, and i feel it needs more refining in certain areas. Ultimately the game won me over very early on and i am happy i gave it a chance because the trailers did not do this game justice. In fact the trailers seemed to have hurt the game.

    I went into this game with really low expectations after Avengers, but boy was I in for a pleasant surprise. This game is a blast!

But there’s such a wide variety of enemies that you’re forced to change it up and try new things, so it never gets boring or too repetitive. Despite not being an open-world game, GotG provides so much action, adventure, & exploration that I found myself not caring too much. I’m happy to report that it is not a short game, at least, not as short as I’d feared. The story is comprised of 16 chapters that each took me about 1-2 hours to complete (give or take). If you’re someone like me who likes to find collectibles & outfits, then it will probably run you about 20-25 hours of gameplay.

    By far, the best thing about this game (besides the 80s music!) is the characters. They may not look like their movie counterparts, but they talk & act just like them and I didn’t realize how much it mattered to me until now. Rocket is still Rocket, Drax still takes everything literally (and has that hilarious laugh). Their familiarity & chemistry is what makes this game great. I was also surprised at how many other familiar characters are featured (or mentioned) in the game. There’s so many references to Marvel lore that fans are going to have a field day. As with any game, there is always room for improvement and GotG is no exception. At multiple points while playing, I found myself thinking of ways this game could’ve been so much better (like being able to switch between characters). Despite those moments when it left me wanting, I enjoyed the heck out of it nevertheless. So for that reason I’m giving it an 8 out of 10. Definitely worth the $60 price.    … Expand

    If you want a game to get your money's worth it's this game, on average it will take you about 24 hours ideally to finish it. What I mean by "ideally" means that there is replay value if you miss a skin or want to explore a different choice taken. Your choices matter but I highly recommend to stick by your choice because some choices unlock different trophies than others. Combat is nicely paced but you have to remember it's a companion RPG so you have to use the Guardians a lot to do significant damage. WARNING: Star-Lord is purposely weaker but in the next paragraph I will say how you will make him powerful so keep reading. NO MICROTRANSACTIONS need I say more? Humor some hits and some don't and the soundtrack is nice and expansive. There is minor issues that removes the immersion but the highlight word is "minor", so you will still have a good time.

    Things to know or missed:
    Throughout the game you will be given chances to pick up components that will allow you to unlock perks in workbenches where you ask Rocket to craft them, a thing to know is: It's okay if you miss a component there are many chances to get the components you need and you will have enough for the end of the game. If you are a streamer or youtuber there is a licensure music feature that will use different music in case if you are scared to be claimed or flag. YOU CAN MAKE STAR-LORD VERY STRONG and here's why: while lock on to enemies on your reticle that shows you the bars of your ELEMENTAL guns and that reticle would be mostly gray but depending on your distance it will switch to red meaning at that distance you will do a lot of damage and most of the time it's at a closer range making you vulnerable to be hit but you can dodge or have a Guardian to stun/root them. Another tip for Star-Lord while locking on again, next to the enemies health bar you will be given a symbol, that symbol either represents the 4 elements that you will get throughout the game or it can be regular blast or charged blast. Those symbols represents the enemy's weakness making the white bar to grow allowing a unique execution animation to be activated to do damage or to finish the enemy.

    Rev:
    This game came from the foundation of Final Fantasy 15 using your companions on the fly during combat but added to it using the unique talents of each companion to traverse the various worlds. The only thing that made the game barely a 8 out of 10 is because there is a lack of polish with audio, frame rates, and loose world structures where you would get stuck.

    Cons:
    I don't like the fact that the pacing of audio will overlap at times and most times cut off abruptly because you go to a new section of the level, the game has so much dialogue to learn more of the Guardians that the game can't pace it well. Unfortunately I had to stand still to let all the dialogue to finish then proceed because having the audio to cut off really removes me from the immersion. Frame rates was rare but when it happens, it happens hard and can be terrifying thinking you might crash. Most likely it will crash because it did to me like twice or sometimes the cut scenes freeze a bit then continues. The loose structures will sometimes blend Star-Lord to a structure (mostly metallic structures) making him stuck which leads to you to reload to the last checkpoint.

    Pros:
    The good parts of the game was the voice acting and the overall characters of the Guardians. A few of which I prefer have them in the movies than the ones we have in my opinion. Each character has their own backstory that you will learn overtime just by talking to them via artifacts or them standing alone pondering, resulting you as the leader to check on them and sympathize with them. The telltale aspect of the game is pretty interesting but the game is still linear which is quite compelling. You would make a choice at an earlier chapter and you will see the result later the game. Combat is like Final Fantasy 15 like I said earlier, but I like how they make Star-Lord a bit weaker than the others having you combine various abilities to take out the enemy. Fan service is huge if you explore deeply or even have the chance to experience it, or simply if you caught it. The worlds you explore, each world has it's own theme like the 2nd world is stormy therefore rich with plant life and Knowhere is this dark cyberpunk esthetic. The colors are so great from either in space or in the worlds you explore. Another pro is NO MICROTRANSACTION skins are unlock by finding them and a big soundtrack from streamers/ content creators and for the community.

    How to make this game 10 out of 10 (in my opinion):
    Do more polishing and make the pacing of the audio better either remove it , have more opportunities to talk to them, or expand the map so all the dialogue fits in it. I can see this game having multiplayer but for this to happen have each character play differently like mechanically different.    … 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]
