    With its endearing characters and effective humor, Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the pleasant surprises of the end of the year, which is obviously aimed at a very large audience. Behind this careful writing, we feel a deep love on the part of the developers of Eidos Montreal for its marginalized space. And if the adventure is not as epic as we hoped, the journey is nonetheless pleasant with its moments of complicity and the many choices offered which reinforce the player's involvement. A truly attractive journey, in particular thanks to an efficient and fluid combat system which nevertheless shows its limits at the end of the game and against the bosses. Finally, it is more on its visual part that the title can divide. If we find on the one hand original environments and neat character models, we also note the presence of less convincing facial animations in places and sometimes less fine landscapes. It is nonetheless a gripping adventure alongside the galaxy's greatest magnificent losers that has plenty to please MCU fans.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a great game. I would like to give it top marks, but in spite of all the good design elements, cool soundtrack, and very good dialogue and voice acting, the Switch’s cloud version connection issues are a problem I can’t just overlook.

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 »
