    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cloud Version presents an enjoyable and original story with excellent writing and vocal performances, adding up to a narrative that is both comedic and surprisingly heartfelt. A meaty but meaningfully varied campaign introduces fun locations and surprises for Marvel fans, and it’s backed up by a killer '80s soundtrack. Combat makes clever use of synergizing the team’s abilities as well. However, that combat doesn’t evolve enough throughout the story to maintain its appeal. And on Switch specifically, technical performance issues stemming from cloud streaming make this the worst version of the game to play.

    While there is a great game somewhere in here, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cloud Version has many, baffling issues seemingly exclusive to this version. On top of not being comparable to other console versions, it somehow performs even worse to the point of being almost unplayable most of the time. As usual, your results may vary depending on internet connection, but this version still needs a lot of work.

It´s incredible well written story really fits the template of the comics, including characters, atmosphere and humor - all served without any microtransactions! Yet, there´s a little too much idle in many moments of the gameplay to push the game in higher spheres. But if you´re in for a more than solid experience - no matter if you´re already familiar witht the franchise or not - then Marvel´s Guardians of the Galaxy is a really good choice.… Full Review »
