    Completely underrated. Game was so much fun to play. Groot was a little annoying at first but it got much better.

    Really solid Marvel game with a surprisingly great story that dives deep into each characters. The game starts slow but really ramps up after the first act with tons of secrets to explore. The combat I felt was basic but still fun if you can get into it. Overall it was a solid experience and I hope to have a sequel its way better than their previous title Marvels Avengers.

    Just completed the game and damn was that a hell of a ride. 18-20 hours of story/ gameplay inc. outfit and collectables hunting. Brilliant story, great combat, awesome acting. Deep comic cuts keeping you on your toes. Very humorous and excellent Score + 80's soundtrack...8/10

    GAMEPLAY : The gameplay is ok once you level up but some animations are sloppy which makes combat unsatisfying.

    Tons and Tons of forced walking and talking sections, that are very painful to get through

    Puzzles are way too simple

    You can't skip cutscenes.

    MUSIC: I love the 80's soundtrack but i honestly don't think they took advantage of those licensed tracks. There is barely a quite moment in the game so you can barely hear the music. At one point i just muted the VO.

    GRAPHIC: Stunning, Beautiful, thats where the budget went. The biggest take away for me is that the male characters looks handsome and great and even have curves to them but the women don't. Every women is shaped like a brick, with very ugly haircuts. Hellbender look like she has Drax body but Cassandra's face from Assassins creed. Makes no sense and it feels like a double standard.

    VO: Its not as endearing as the creators think it is. There is barely a quite moment for you to take in the sights or just digest what happened. Just talking talking talking.

    CHARACTERS: DRAX, PETER, ROCKET, GROOT, LIPLESS all fantastic. I did not care about anyone else. The females in this game especially i found annoying and unlikeable, like most western AAA games.

    STORY: I did not care for the story at all. Star Lords daughter? why? I hate that this annoying little girl was the whole focus for this game. Why could it not be a space romp of random adventure with the guardians similar to a season of cowboy bebop. I did not care for this kid from the start, found her painful to listen to. Also why are most of the major characters females? Did you have to hit a quota?

    The overrated Last of Us influence continues to plague AAA single player games to this day. As expected this is yet another walky talkie game, a movie-game, a game that much rather be a movie than a game. The cutscenes are rendered and animated to perfection, everything is photo mode ready because thats important right? Does that mean the GAMEPLAY received the same level of attention? No of course not. GAMEPLAY IN A VIDEO GAME takes a back seat to cinematic. This game broke me, i can't do this anymore. Western corp have ruined gaming, every other day is a multiplayer, coop lazy garbage game announced, and when we finally get a single player game, that isnt a lazy FPS or a big for nothing ubisoft open world game, we get this Sony style overrated movie game that barely has gameplay. I can't win.    … Expand

    Well another "film" instead of a game. Linear, boring, always talking characters... No open world.
    No gameplay at all for me.. With games like Horizon, RDR2, God of War, Elden Ring how can people be seduced by trash like this ones.. in comparison it's 0 against 10. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good FILM, but it's not a GAME, where u can live in a world.

    Looks great but the handholding utterly ruins it. at times it pretty much plays itself and it's littered with QTE's. The space battles are pitiful, it's almost on rails and it's like 'babies first space game'. GotG is great but this game is a mammoth disappointment indeed.

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *** No real spoilers but may seem like there are***

    Ultimately, I think this game will end up being around a 7. At the time of writing this I'm about to start chapter 3 so take that for what it's worth. I just have to get some stuff off my chest about this game at this moment. The initial impression was very very good and I will say that this is NOT a bad game at all. But I'd be lying if I said it was without many flaws. It was all going nice until the end of chapter 1. It ends with you flying your ship (or you think your flying your ship). The game literally has an intense scene and all you do is watch it play out. The second I realized I wasn't actually controlling anything, I started to have the doubts creep in. I did overlook it until chapter 2. My F-in oath. I did F all for 35 minutes. It was essentially a 35 min interactive cutscene where all you have to do is press a button every 15-20 seconds and the game will do the rest for you. Oh you do a little walking .. that was the extent of the "gameplay" in chapter 2. I'm going to play the game through and just enjoy it for what it is, a great story driven game with good characters. That's it. if your looking for an immersive experience, this game will not do any of that for you. If your looking for a silly, solid story driven game where you can just sit back and watch the movie then buy it. I'm sure it will get a little better once more skills are unlocked and more upgrades become available but, when you really really look at this game and get past all the great music, graphics, etc. you will realize that it is very flawed. It IS better than Avengers I will give it that but buyer beware here. You will not feel like your Star lord because the game doesn't allow that. It constantly takes control away from you breaking any immersion that there could have been. I would not recommend this game at full price, wait until it's around the $30 mark or so. Has a lot of potential but overall, not very good.

    EDIT: Came around to love this game! Turned out to be one of my fav games from last year, not saying a lot but it was quite a good game.    … Expand

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

Even the preview build couldn't sell many audiences about how intricate the combat system and most importantly, how fleshed out the characters in this game are. Not only the 5 guardians, but also a great variety of supporting characters and villains. The 1980s soundtrack (a list of more than 50 songs) just kicks in at the right moment, during gameplay and scripted sequences. The dualsense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, imitating the exact feel of StarLord's repulsors, just heighten the all senses to an absolute peak level. The performance mode on PS5 is super smooth, although I would recommend testing the quality mode from time to time as well (during exploration sequences), to really get a sense of how much detail has been put into these characters and environment. With the Ray Tracing update on it's way to next-gen consoles, this game is a definite must play right now, and must be replayed for alternative dialogue options that pop-up in almost any situation/action. This game is beautifully crafted from start to finish and is miles ahead of both the movies that portray the guardians of the galaxy. Every next-gen console and pc owner must experience this game first hand, and if you can get your hands on the PlayStation 5 system, then definitely don't play this without the haptics and the triggers enabled, alongside the controller speaker. Besides Arkane Studio's Deathloop, this game is clearly a game of the year contender for me.… Expand

    All the other reviews assured me that this would be a fantastic game but when you get your hands on it its a different story.

    -Gameplay
    First off the combat looked boring when I first witnessed it and playing it didn't change my mind. Its slow, heavy, and clunky. You can't have shortcuts for special attacks, you must always go through a sub menu to command your team. The ps5 has a touch pad and doesn't utilize it which would have been great for shortcuts. (swipe up, down, left, right)
    It also doesn't help that you can't change the buttons on the controller. Locking on is buggy and not worth using, so I'd rather change that top button to dash/dodge if I could.
    I also wish Star Lord had better attacks. Most of time I forget he has specials. In battle, he's much less of a commanding leader and more of a cheerleader since it's your team that will do the heavy lifting.

    -Story
    The story seems fine. I think it takes too long to get to it though. The first 2 hour level is filled with so much padding that was clearly unnecessary. Remember in GoG2 when the guardians were introduced during a huge monster fight, that would have been great in a video game format to learn the gameplay and characters but no, we get a long drawn out tutorial to do the same puzzles over and over again.
    The dialog in the game is great. The team banters and jokes like you expect they would. Here's the problem though, they talk way more than you would want them to. You may think this is fine but if you plan on listening to everything they say, you better expect to stop every minute to hear 2 minutes of dialog. And don't you dare pick up an item because then they will interrupt each other for new dialog. This is the prime example of the dog going "SQUIRREL!"
    I like story and dialog in games and I never thought I'd say this in a story based game, but damn they need to shut up every once in a while.

    Overall, It's not a bad game. It's a fine movie. With the amount of work they put into the world, environment, and characters, I wish they would have concentrated on a better combat system and better upgrade system. I think they put more work in their accessibility menu than their rpg elements.

    one more thing, why is Gamora screaming all the time? Calm down, I'm right next to you.    … Expand

    Near perfect! I was super excited to play, and darn the anticipation was worth it. I experienced some bugs but not game breaking...like the slide towards the end...but I only dinged it a point for some plot convenience. Some things just happened to push the story...but still darn good. Wish I could keep playing for the first time...but it is over. Hope there is a sequel

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is Square Enix’s attempt to come back after the disaster that was Marvels Avengers. Well I’m glad to say this game is better in a few ways. Let’s get into it. The game is quite linear and there aren’t many paths to follow but the paths there are are few. You’ll have to keep an eye out for components that Rocket works on Peter Quill’s suit for upgrades.Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is Square Enix’s attempt to come back after the disaster that was Marvels Avengers. Well I’m glad to say this game is better in a few ways. Let’s get into it. The game is quite linear and there aren’t many paths to follow but the paths there are are few. You’ll have to keep an eye out for components that Rocket works on Peter Quill’s suit for upgrades. Being an RPG man myself I would have liked abilities to be unlocked via levels and natural progression rather than finding things in each level. For the special moves there are skill points earned in battles with enemies. You can only upgrade Star Lord’s (Peter Quill’s) suit via the found components. Not anyone else’s suit. The other character have 4 different special moves they can do like Star Lord. I didn’t realize this til later chapters though. Silly me. The suits are only cosmetic and give no in game effect. This being a square game and a somewhat of an RPG I expected the suits to actually do something in game since the price of the game was 70$ with those extra suits bought for the preorder. I was let down due to that. I’ve never been that into the GOTG but this was a nice Action RPG from Square so I wanted to show my support. The games story is okay I suppose. The crazy cultists bad guys always seem to be in media these days and it gets annoying. It especially gets annoying when they don’t know wether they are a cult or a church. They are two different things but the characters don’t seem to be educated enough to know the difference. I was surprised at the music that Star Lord liked in this particular game. It was much different than that of the GOTG movie. No Jackson 5, no Come and Get Your Love…. There were songs missing that could have made the game more enjoyable. The huddling mechanic where the team comes together to have a pep talk mid battle seemed a bit out of place and when fighting enemies mid battle you really wouldn’t even dream of doing that or you’d definitely die. Overall the game is a unique experience but it isn’t without flaws. The game had glitches in it multiple times. I can count them on one hand but they made me redo parts of the game which wasted precious time and I didn’t quite enjoy that. I feel Square has a long way to go to get this genre of game to be enjoyable as their classic JRPG works. It stated to fee repetitive and exhausting toward the end. They talk a lot!! I mean ALOT!! I wanted them to be quiet sometimes, but I’m an introverted person maybe that’s why. That made me not able to play this game all at once. The customizing options for the game was good however and it makes it accessible to anyone. That I was glad about. I didn’t want a Dark Souls or Sekiro title here every thought those have their place. I’m glad GOTG doesn’t play like that. So for the conclusion game is better than Avengers. No online. Single player, fun to a degree. The story isn’t very good. The music wasn’t all that. The voice acting was good. Glitches may throw you back a few hours. The game gets repetitive and looks beautiful but lacks something older Square Enix titles have. It didn’t feel all that special. The gameplay takes a backseat for the narrative which pushes you where it wants you to go rather than you having the freedom to choose. I give The Guardians of the Galaxy a 6 out of 10. I played may Square games over the years so maybe my expectations for this one was a bit high. I hope they get the formula for their superhero games down in the future. I’ll see y’all later. Hopefully this review makes you consider wether this title is for you or not. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!… Expand

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.

I did have some qualms, but it definitely seems like the developers really loved the comics/movies and threw everything they could in to make the game cooler.

    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

My experience with it was a mixed bag though. Here are the bullet points:

    - terrible save system, auto saves override manual saves
    - only 5 bosses: the 2nd boss is on a timer and doesn't require you to even fight, while the final boss is easily one of the worst designed boss fights I've ever played since it is basically a game of projectile spam, waves of minions, and quick time events
    - enemies are repetitive and for the most part not really that interesting
    - tiresome arguments between characters that never cease (they don't stop talking, ever)
    - the characters are great as per usual Marvel standards
    - choices do have some consequences, but most are inconsequential
    - streaming music mode puts large annoying distracting text at top of screen
    - exploration is scarce and mostly pointless (some nice skins, that's about it)
    - you can find way more upgrade materials than upgrades are available, negating need to explore for them
    - auto aim lock on system switches between enemies when many enemies are present preventing ability to aim properly, especially in the final boss fight, even when you have the option not to break lock on checked (I imagine this is a glitch, but I can't be sure)
    - lots of time wasting activities and conversations between actual interesting gameplay
    - extremely average puzzles that seem to exist to pad out game time
    - won't run at 60FPS/4K on PS5 (enjoy 1080p yay)
    - lots of bugs, many game breaking requiring restart. This happened every single chapter in the game (so more than a dozen). Most common bug was the menu for Guardian abilities not working when you need a Guardian ability to proceed, forcing a restart
    - Huddle mechanic is one of the worst mechanics in a game (interrupt fights to stop and chat like a football timeout, then pick one of 2 choices to get damage buff, and a lot of the time the right choice is impossible to determine)
    - photo mode is bound to L3/R3, but you must use those buttons for other actions, causing you to drop into photo mode accidentally frequently
    - phenomenal soundtrack (even with streaming mode turned on)
    - great voice acting
    - good graphics, harmed by lack of 60fps/4k but supported by 30fps 4k
    - many scenes can be skipped by mashing circle, but many can't be skipped
    - is linear, but for this style of game that's in its favour rather than a bad thing

    Ultimately the incredible visuals and music made this game as enjoyable as it was, though on PS5 those visuals are not the beautiful 4K visuals the PC version has unless you want a 30fps gameplay experience.

    The combat is pretty shallow all things considered, despite there being a few nice synergies between different Guardian's abilities.

    By the end of the game I was bored with the combat and tired of the banter. There is an NG+ that enables you to try some different options to see what very slightly different outcomes you might get, but I'm happy to have played it once and to leave it at that.

    This one is really for lovers of the comic. If you're on PC, it's also for lovers of virtual photography. But for lovers of deep and engaging gameplay, not so much.    … Expand

This game is one of the most unfun, uninteresting things I've played in ages. The gameplay boils down to holding the trigger and pressing a button when an ability is ready.

    The one thing I will give this game is that it looks incredible, and the writing can be genuinely good at times. The conversations amongst the guardians during missions is some of the most natural dialogue I've heard in a game. But this is completely ruined and wasted by almost all dialogue being cut off by: entering a new scene, accidentally interacting with another object or walking to far.

    A lot of the meaningful moments are also not earned by this game. If this was a stand-alone game and we didn't already know the characters, it would seem like some of the most half-arsed story telling, but it just about scrapes by because we all know who the Guardians are by now.

    Another major issue with the game is its animations, which is a big deal when your dfealing with what is essentially an interactive story game. The dead eyes during conversations, and weird faux-realism face twitches, it reminds me of Until Dawn, which while good for its time don't get me wrong, was years ago. Even just jumping, your characteer literally appears to teleport into the air and fall, rather than jump. Little things like this throughout the game really ruin any sense of presence in the world while you're controlling star lord.

    Last thing I'll mention, the puzzles. The non-combat parts of gameplay are essentially a LEGO game. And again, I love the old LEGO games but come on, they really couldn't have thought of anything more interesting? It's basically a matter of 'shoot the thing with the right bullet' or 'Tap the right character on same thing you've done 20 other times'. There's no gameplay, no skill, no solving, nothing interesting whatsoever.

    Honestly haven't stopped playing a game before finishing in a long time due to such utter boredom and I can't understand the overly high praise.    … Expand

    Good day to everyone. Its your super hero behind the mask and under the helmet RedRangerRobin

    Today I take you on an adventure with a review of Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy, developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix. You play as Star Lord through out the galaxy and adventure that embark on with your team. You are tied to just playing as star lord but can command the    Good day to everyone. Its your super hero behind the mask and under the helmet RedRangerRobin

    Today I take you on an adventure with a review of Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy, developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix.

    You play as Star Lord through out the galaxy and adventure that embark on with your team. You are tied to just playing as star lord but can command the other guardians to do certain actions in and out of combat, now I never thought this concept would work to its full potential, but it does work better then any other game I could think of with this type of game play especially in battle. In combat you feel like a general on a battle field commanding your soldiers to unleash a devastating attack while you are distracting them with your blasters which unfortunately in this game feel like the weakest weapon in the game unless you are unloading a special attack, but none the less they do work. Combat at times can feel a little chaotic but its a good thing that works in this game. Each combat scenario you do will give you a grade at the end with points that allows you to unlock more abilities for each guardian. One very unique thing in combat that I never got tired was the huddle system where if you were losing a battle you could do a football huddle with the other guardians and boost morale in the battle, then an amazing 80’s song would play which amped you the player and your team up to win the battle

    While you are not in combat you are on your ship the Milano talking with the guardians finding out back stories, upgrading Star Lord Specific abilities from currency or tech pieces that you find from the places and planets you visit. When you are on planets and not in combat the games feels very familiar I would easily compare it to Naughty Dogs Uncharted from the exploration, collecting costumes and logs to sliding down a mountain side and having to jump at the last minute to make it to the next cliff before plummeting to your ultimate death.

    The Soundtrack is one thing I want to talk about in this game it is by far one of the best licensed soundtracks when it comes to video games for myself I would easily put this soundtrack right up there with Mafia 3. When it battle there is nothing greater then listening to the final countdown by Europe or I need a hero by Bonnie Tyler which I always associate with the movie Footloose. The game is filled with lots of 80’s rock and pop hits which is very cool and nice to see because what would Guardians Of The Galaxy be without the awesome licensed music.

    Each Guardian is just like how they are portrayed in the movies, Star Lord is his comical witty self, Gamora is quiet but deadly, Drax is funny but on a path of revenge, Groot can only say one sentence and yup you guess it “ I am Groot”, Rocket is the furious potty mouth raccoon every one knows and loves & I would not have them any other way.

    Guardians Of The Galaxy is way more than I expected I went into this game blind and with no expectations but I loved every moment and I highly recommend for everyone to pick this game up at some point or another. I give Guardians of the Galaxy a 9/10.

    -ДА,это полностью сюжетная игра без лишней херни,где всё поставлено грамотно,киношно, с толком.

    -Эти персонажи вам западут больше,чем киношные, и не потому что вы больше времени с ними проводите,а потому что они не сделаны карикатурными,как тот же Драгс Батисты или Несуразный Квил,который в моменты какой-то отсталый

    -Арт тут просто прекрасен.Столько разных планет и мест придётся посетить и всё просто мякотка для глаз

    -Небольшая разветлённость в диалогах.Мелочь,а приятно для вариативности

    -Боёвка на любителя.И да первые часов 5 скучновата.Но потом с большим открытием способностей,даже по кайфу пытаться красиво поубивать на локации ребят.Да и бои короткие,которые потом переходят опять в кат-сцены,так что не успеваешь заскучать.

    Disgusting developers with their own scanning system. The scan with the r2 button does not work for me. The shooting works, the scanner does not. I can't get any further along the plot than the beginning of chapter 1! Everyone who faces this problem is advised to "wait for a fix". Was the game even tested before the release?!

    From the beginning till the end the game is pure fun. Despite some minor issues and specific combat system it's one of the greatest games of 2021. Decent graphics, awesome storytelling and characters, the game manages to capture your attention right from the start and does not overwhelm or bore you in the process. Totally recommended!

    Genuinely surprised and happy I chose to spend my $60 on this game. So far I’ve been blown away by the charm, passion, and polish that’s gone into this game. It’s actually funny and is extremely well presented, with a worth while story. Definitely a game of the year contender.

    This game us super fun! I have to admit I had no expectations on this game but I really liked it. Storytelling, characters and dialogues are really good.
    But I have to say combat is mediocre so some people will not like this one especially the ones who hate comic book stuff. But if you are a fan or you like games with funny and good dialogue you will probably like this one.

    This game was amazing. sure there are still a few kinks to work out but overall it was a very enjoyable experience. the combat was really fun and all of the conversations/voice lines were really funny. I don't think I have ever clipped a game as much as this one. i highly recommend you play this game. Square Enix really made up for the abomination avengers game. very well done.

    Literally created an account for the first time to say how underrated this game is. Great single player triple A experience which most studios wouldn't take a risk of making.

Hope this game sells well and there's a sequel. Levels and gameplay is immersive. I understand the wait for sale mentality but this is worth 60 dollars. Yet a poor open sandbox is considered worth 60 all the time because of meaningless hours spent. You can also replay this on new game plus with other dialogue choices, many costumes and collectibles, abilities upgrades etc.… Expand

The game capture the banter of all the Guardians flawlessly, and puts in a good laugh. The story also was very unique and allowed the player to have control of what happened in the game. Great game, definitely will play this again… Expand

    So good. Great story-driven game with exceptionally good writing. Plays like a lightweight Uncharted type adventure, with combat somewhere between Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy 7 remake. Had some strange difficulty spikes here and there, but nothing insurmountable, and the combat doesn't really open up until the second half when you unlock more of the team's abilities.

    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]
