    It was a long time since I had the pleasure to listen to some truly well-written and funny dialogue. Drax is hands down the best character, the movie version can't even compete. The well-done mocap is quickly noticeable, especially on Gamorra and Ko-rel. Amazing voice cast that fit very well with the writing.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy was unfairly missed by me in 2021. Once after Marvel's Avengers, there was no desire to play Guardians of the Galaxy at all.

    I'm incredibly excited to see where this story goes in sequels. I'd love to see an ability to freely visit any planets you've already gone to - as long as you don't leave the planet guns blazing, more space dogfights with a better variety of combat options, and some type of side-quest system so you can earn credits (I get the guardians aren't supposed to be rich, but I really wanted to buy all of the items at the Collector's Emporium and it's literally impossible to make enough credits in this game).

    On a aussi un raton-laveur qui parle… et qui ne la ferme jamais ; un gros balèze con comme ses pieds et bien entendu le chef de la bande, un parfait trou du cul, accessoirement roi des cons. Seule la fort jolie et sexy Gamora tire son épingle du jeu… car tout le reste, y compris cette « galaxie » tombe régulièrement dans l’humour potache très bas de gamme et un côté bling-bling fort désagréable.

    Le mode performance est sujet à quelques à-coups hélas… mais rien d’alarmant. Ce qui s’avère très alarmant par contre, c’est ce système de combat confus et merdique tout droit tiré d’une fiente d’un Final Fientasy moderne : c’est chiant, répétitif, alambiqué… et chiant.

    L’espèce d’histoire se montre rapidement bien débile en tout cas et a raison de notre patience un peu trop vite… mais on ne pouvait pas espérer grand-chose d’une marvellerie de ce genre, forcément !

    If you are a fan of story driven single player games then this is a must play! No micro transactions, no political agenda, just great fun! Oh yeah, and a killer sound track!

    I enjoyed this game so much, and I wanted to support it in hopes to see a sequel that I also bought it for my PS5.

    The only flaws are minor: there were some audio bugs that occurred on both platforms; sometimes you are pulled out of the action a little too long; and sometimes you miss out the funny banter between the characters if you happen to interact with something while they are talking,

    Well done developers and thank you for this gem!

    Ses défauts:
    - pas mal de bugs (perso bloqué dans des décors, bande son qui déconne, ...)
    - synchro labiale aux fraises
    - peu de combats spatiaux, et ceux existants sont courts et bof
    - j'aurais aimé plus de libertés (choix des destinations, planètes, ...)

    Guardians of the Galaxy was put together really well. Upon watching tidbits of gameplay I could see potential in it, but didn't think I would like it as much as I did, despite its shortcomings.

    The name of the game here is: fun.

    Square Enix did an incredible job with story, dialogue and character development. Every major piece in this game feels very well fleshed out and the writing constantly evolves throughout the 16 chapter journey, making you care not only about Peter Quill and his teammates, but also about secondary characters to the plot.
    It's not easy to do that, but they manage to do it with charm. I laughed out loud on most of the chapters, during the myriad conversations the Guardians have on their missions. Well-written characters and dialogues and the game's amazing pace were honestly the main reason to keep me there 'til the end. It just works and it is funny and interesting as hell to see things unfold.

    On top of that, GotG has a very stylish and smooth combat. It might get repetitive after a while, but it does its job well. Characters have their own unique traits, powers and outfits, their fighting style is varied enough to give room to creativity and just moving Quill and shooting around aliens feels good enough. I also love how the game doesn't overstay its welcome, making it easy to get all power-ups, collectables and secrets. It's a blast, honestly.
    Not to mention how beautiful the game looks. From facial animations to how beautiful each planet is, this game excels on modern consoles, which helps to improve immersion even further.

    But I have to say, it actually took me the first 2 chapters to start enjoying the game and understand its pacing. It's not a huge slow start, but it's definitely a slow burner, to the point that it put me to sleep right on the 1st chapter. Yes, it gets better really fast around the 3rd mission (which is insane, btw), but it took me a little while.
    I also found very annoying that dialogues tend to overlap each other and you can even miss entire chunks of well-written jokes/story moments just by walking in the wrong place at the wrong time. Highly annoying. Just as annoying as the many unskippable cutscenes you have to go through whether you've seen them or not. Or maybe as annoying as Rocket Racoon, which, close to most other characters in the game, just seems a bit off.

    And then we get to my biggest issues with the game. Two things that can drag the experience down.
    1 - The puzzles
    Guardians of the Galaxy insists on making you complete the same puzzles OVER and OVER again. And yes, it's great when you get a new gadget or discover some new team work skill. But only the first time. Then it just slows you down.
    2 - Glitches/Crashes
    I really don't understand how a game can ship like this. I CONSTANTLY got stuck into places, had my game freeze out of nowhere, experienced minor crashes or just had characters/story not progressing as they should. It was more than annoying, it really pissed me off! And it's a shame, because this game is actually really good!

    I didn't think I'd enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy as much as I did, but I'm glad I got to experience such an entertaining and well-told game. If you like super heroes or just a good story, this game's for you.
    I just wish that more super hero games were as good as this one.

    Youll be going forward through these linear sections, dealing with obstacles in the way and uing the other guradians to progress such as groot making a bridge or drax tipping things over or breaking walls.. and then there will be a fight, enemies will swarm you and you use your abilities and command the other 4 guardians for them to do teir special moves, and youll be able to fill up a meter to huddle up for some extra damage and listen to some classic 80s tunes while you kick alien butt.. at first this is all really fun, but eventually it just becomes tiresome, combat is so repetitive and a slog to get though due to how spongy enemies are, it just never feels satisfying and was my least favorite part of the game.. I enjoyed the traversing and problem solving, dealing with waves of bullet sponges, not so much…
    That’s being said, marvels guardians of the galaxy is a crazy goofy adevnute, there are great action pieces here.. the world is fun to get around, the writing is hilarious at times, and I loved the incorporation of 80s music,

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Different Developers, sale publisher. So YES the game is different. Compare it to Mass Effect. Play as one character and control others thru commands. Simple right? Somewhat.

    Mechanics are alright. Moderate Auto Aim, overheating on blasters, quick reflexes and of course which character to use for what enemy. Now all of them have a weakness which the tutorial will show you how. Downside was the jet boots. Only got for short jumps? Lame.

    Graphics... HOLY S*it!!! PS4/PS5/XBox... who cares?! Take a minute and just admire how much damn work these people put in to make this ascetically pleasing, visually captivating. Granted it's no Marvel movie but you get a moment to really enjoy the work. The detail is pretty massive.

    The characters themselves are all motion capture which you'll notice, nothing spectacular but what you do notice is the dialogue between all the characters. Just the normal back and forth between traveling. Especially Drax. He's more witty and somewhat intelligent.

    Soundtrack. It's GoTG. Do I need to say more?

    Just know the runthrough is anywhere between 18-25 hrs. Yes the decisions affect some parts of the game so choose wisely. But overall. It's comedic, upbeat, just single player fun. No BS. Just fun.

Für Fortgeschrittene Spieler empfehle ich den schweren Schwierigkeitsgrad, da sogar der sehr leicht ist. Für wen es wichtig ist, es sind nicht die Filmcharaktere!

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. Expand

    This is a no brainer, funny, great story, amazing graphics and you can see and feel a lot of love has been put into it in general but especially the music/situational properties of this game... This game is a grand ole time, absolutely loving it! This is what the Avengers should have been, but GOTG makes up and then some for the disappointment Avengers has been.

    Cons:
    Combat gets stale about halfway through the game. Enemies can become very ‘bullet spongey’. Increasing the damage to ‘very high’ does not fix this issue. As a result, combat can feel old.
    Game lasts maybe one or two chapters too long.

    Guardians of the Galaxy is a much better game than Avengers. With that being said, it’s not a 10/10 game and does have some issues, mostly with combat becoming stale at about the halfway point and the enemies feeling more of a chore then an exciting challenge. If you’re a Marvel fan and want to play a game that captures the feeling of the source material, check it out. If you want an action game and are okay with the combat becoming a little stale halfway through it, check it out. It may not be the 10/10 game Marvel fans might’ve wanted but it’s not a bad game, not at all and it is enjoyable, and it makes up for the mistakes Avengers made. If their next game takes the constructive feedback about the combat getting a little too stale, then I can see their next game being a masterpiece.

    All and all this developer has learned from their mistakes and I personally did enjoy this game much more then I thought I would’ve.

    I don't like Marvel much, don't like GotG much but what a great game. It's real good, light hearted fun. Enjoying it a lot. Very linear, which I like 'cos I don't have 60 hours to plod around an open world. A bit of light humour and a good balance of story, action and environments.

    Very nerdy game but really glad I got it.

    You can clearly tell that this wasn´t just rushed out to exploit the license. It´s the exact opposite when it comes to quality and polish. That makes it all the more shocking how the actual combat can be so astonishingly bad. it´s like it´s done by different people. people that had no idea what they were doing and didn´t care either. it feels tacked on, like a tedious mini game rather than the backbone of the game. they might as well just have cutscenes there. if you don´t care about actual gameplay and like interactive movies this might actual perfect for you. but if you like a good combat system and think gameplay is king this is pretty bad. the writing in itself, as to the overall story arc, is pretty boring as well. but what keeps me going, when it comes to writing, are the dialogues itself, the interactions between the characters. they seem like real characters. i usually wanna hear what they have to say and not just read it and then skip or skip the everything outright to get to the gameplay. altough that might also be because, like i said, there isn´t much actual gameplay. you also don´t have any freedoms at all your path is set and stone you can´t deviate from that at all. the levels are straight forward tubes, no sidepaths, no exploration, no freedom. it´s a rather classic and more remniscent of level design from 20 years ago which isn´t neccesrily a bad thing, and i´d say is rather a good fit for the game, but a bit more freedom would´ve been nice to compensate for the fact that this is so light on gameplay and the terrible combat system. overall it´s hard to give this a number. in another terrible game, a terrible combat system wouldn´t stand out much. but because everything else is done so well here, it sticks out like a nail, you have to put up with that unengaging mindless combat system if you wanna keep playing, which is what you want to do because all of it´s other strengths.

    This game encompasses everything enjoyable about the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. The presentation, production values, banter between the crew, and world building are all top-notch.

Honestly, the banter approaches legendary status and sets the bar for party-based games going forward. Drax and Mantis are particular standouts.

    As for gameplay, I was sold when I found out you only control Peter and direct the other Guardians, rather than it being a co-op experience. Everyone has a unique move set and they are all useful. Outside of combat, there is platforming, minor exploration, and numerous action scenes reminiscent of the Uncharted series. Also, you will make choices that affect certain scenes. Early on, you sell a “monster” to a collector and what you choose drastically affects what happens.

    The game isn’t perfect though. The story gets a little too weird for my taste and it drags on towards the end. I also encountered small glitches that forced me to reload checkpoints. Nevertheless, if you have an affinity for the movies, playing this game is a no brainer.

    So the graphics in this game are good and this goes along with all the different type of styles that they are going for in the sci fi genre. You got big planets that all look very different and alienlike, the best thing about these are that you always feel uninvited and like the planet was not made for you. To capture this feeling they make you feel really small and weak in comperison with everything that is going on. like for instance a planet where constant rocks as big as buildings fall from the sky or just plants that super massive. besides the big planets there are also big ships that do the exact same thing so this whole game you feel way smaller than you actually are. This is a strong point of the game and suits the group of hero's very well.

    Story, characters and writing: 8/10
    For the story its kind of all over the place and a big mess. I know this sounds wrong but thats actually everything what the guardians of the galaxy should represent. Not to forget that the heroes in this game are very well written and all go for a different type of character and if all are together make for a constant conversation where you can actually slide in have a few lines too. This is the biggest plus point the game gets as it sets the characters exactly like you know them from the movies and it really feels you are on this adventure with them while still staying important as yourself. One thing that was not so good about this was that you could have different things to say but with almost no consequences. Yes you could send groot instead of rocket or you could approve more with gamora than drax but I believe these all have the same outcomes but just a different line.

    Gameplay 2/10
    The gameplay this is where the game falls flat on its face. To simply put it the gameplay is horrible, tedious and a complete insult to people that actually play it. For the combat you dont even have to aim and its just hold LT, press RT and jump/dash around like an idiot. You could also send out one of your teammates to execute a move by pressing a button combination in a tedious type menu that slows down time. While you could shoot you actually do little to no damage at all and most damage comes from your teammates so what you end up doing is just go into that menu let all your team mates execute a move and watch how they do it. Do you see what is wrong with this? You literally just do nothing and stand there like an idiot while the game is playing itself. Besides the combat you also have to be doing puzzles made for 5 yr olds. The puzzles are all like can you move this to there or smash this wall, these are not really puzzles these are just to make the game longer and longer while being tedious to get through. And to make the game even longer they put a crawl through that hole or walk over that beam around every single corner. The worse part of this is that you cant even fall off the beam or fall down a ravine. The game just requires zero skill or even any brain activity this could simply not be a game for this matter and makes this whole experience just not fun to playthrough but to watch through.

    Final verdict: 5/10
    While the graphics and story are good and enjoyable the game lacks in a serious type of gameplay. The gameplay makes this game tedious and unenjoyable experience that just lets you want to see the next cutscene the game has to offer but you need to suffer first. Because this is a game first I will give this a 5/10 and the game itself is not enjoyable but the cutscenes are. So lets just make this an interactive show on disney+ and scrap all the gameplay out of it so this could be an enjoyable story to watch with well written characters overall.

    On the downside, there are quite a few annoying QTE events and boring flashback sequences with mawkish cutscenes that drag down the game like giant speedbumps. GoTG is also unacceptably buggy. There were a dozen times that I got stuck in the world, or my main character was stuck in an endless animation loop or couldn't move after an ingame cutscene. A number of these required me to restart a checkpoint. One of the story-based achievements is also bugged, and wouldn't unlock even after I replayed the chapter. The various bugs and some ill-advised indulgent game design bring the game from an 8/10 to a 7.

The story is driven from the comic books I believe so you will notice very quickly that it's different from the movies but this does not mean its bad, in fact this story is so much better and the characters really made me feel like I care about what they are saying, the dialogue is great and can be very funny however, it can be cut short very often if you try to progress too fast so it is highly advise to take things slow and stop to smell the roses so you can get the most out of the narrative, the game does rewards and opens new (hilarious) dialogue for you exploring the secret areas, unlock cool cosmetics and obtain scraps to use for upgrades and some have better impact to the mechanics, way better than marvel avengers game, sadly the disliking of Avengers game made this one unpopular to buy and I agree that The Avengers video game really was a let down and made me steer clear from this game when it came out, hence why they put it on xbox game pass hoping to get enough people to like it so we can have a sequel!

    Finally a good superhero multiplatform title, after a long time. An exceptional and fluid gameplay mechanism completed with an excellent scenario that contains a solid dose of quality humor, modeled after the film titles from the same series. I must also mention the beautiful graphics part of the game. Square Enix has done a really good job, especially after the flop with the Avengers game. It's a pity that there are no more games like this today: pure single player game with 20+ hours duration, without cashgrab add-ons.

    SRB:
    Konačno jedan dobar superhero multiplatform naslov, posle duže vremena. Izuzetan i fluidan gameplay mehanizam upotpunjen sa odličnim scenarijom koji sadrži solidnu dozu kvalitetnog humora, po uzoru na filmske naslove iz istog serijala. Moram pomenuti i prelep grafički deo igre. Square Enix je odradio zaista dobar posao, pogotovo nakon promašaja sa Avengers igrom. Šteta što ovakvih igara danas nema više: čista single player igra sa 20+h trajanjem, bez cashgrab dodataka.

    Goty for sure the most surprising game I’ve played this year and it’s almost perfect. A little janky in its gameplay sometimes but a great game nonetheless

    It is a Square Enix game, what could go wrong, right?
    Well, not this time I guess.
    I've never been a fan of Super Hero worlds, so I wanted to play this game to enjoy the gameplay and not focus on the story, but surprisingly I enjoyed the plot more than the gameplay. The plot is not that creative, but the narrative was amazing and the characters keep talking and roasting each other

    I've never been a fan of Super Hero worlds, so I wanted to play this game to enjoy the gameplay and not focus on the story, but surprisingly I enjoyed the plot more than the gameplay.

    The plot is not that creative, but the narrative was amazing and the characters keep talking and roasting each other almost all the time of the game, which is about 15-20hrs to complete, I believe the sound acting was the best element in this game.

    In the contrary, the gameplay was a little disappointment to me, very repetitive after completing few chapters, no remarkable diversity in enemies and no huge differences in boss fights, and the main character has a very weak weapon that make you feel that shooting has no point, and make you focus more on using the companions abilities to win the battle, which is fine for the first 3 hours, but after that, it was annoying and made me cannot wait to end this game, therefore I did not care much by gaining the 1000 gamerscore, because if you are seeking that, prepare yourself for a multiple walkthroughs and some of very annoying and grinding achievements.

    Still, the game is a -must play- game at least once, thanks to Xbox for adding it to Gamepass, my advice if you want to enjoy it, don't play more than 2-3 chapters a time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly speaking
    Just play the game and it will be worth every second of your time when i first downloaded the game i was a bit skeptical coz the same publisher launched marvel avengers and we all know that game is not even good but man was i relieved after booting the game for the first time that this game is nothing like marvel avengers and it turned out to be a great game i liked everything about the game from story to upgrade system to combat and so on. And yes kudos to xbox game pass because if it was not on game pass i would never have played the game coz i was not willing to spend my money on the could be great/good game launched by the same publisher as marvel avengers. Just a minor spoiler though i did not like rocket complaining and disagreeing too much with peter it goes to a point where it becomes annoying. Rest of the game is great n everyone should play it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolute mess of a game. Everything is tedious. It's full of horrible plot holes, that make it seem as though they just slapped it together and said, good enough. The fighting consists of shooting and dodging. They try very hard to make you think your teammates are necessary, but you rarely actually need them to defeat enemies. The constant bickering chatter from your mates becomes annoying as hell after about 30 minutes. The way in which you interact with those conversations is so tedious that I found myself ignoring them more often than not. An example of the plot hole mess is, when you are going to sell Rocket or Groot to the monster buyer. On the way, you come across several monsters that you kill instead of selling them to her, in place of pretending your friend is a monster to fool her. There is even a monster that you find in a cage. Instead of taking it to her, Groot sets it free and you have to kill it. Once inside her fortress, Rocket suggests pulling off a heist when you come across her vault. Everyone shoots him down, as though it is a bad idea; yet that is exactly what you are doing. You are selling your friend to her, only to break in and steal him back later. Essentially pulling of a heist. This game has no soul. It is a rushed, irritating experience. If you are looking for a good Marvel game, I would suggest you play the Avengers instead. At least the fighting and main story are well fleshed out in that game. Also, why do I have to tell Gamora to cut down vines every time they are blocking our entrance? Shouldn't she know to cut them down? Same thing with all the characters. Like I said, this game is tedious. Expand

    Great writing, very funny and fun game. Game is set in a slightly different timeline than the films which make it feel new and more interesting. Could maybe had a more in depth customisation, levelling up system of the characters but overall very enjoyable.

    Awesome story line and fighting system with all characters. Running very well on Series X, sometimes there's frame drops, but nothing horrible. Everyone should try this game.

    This game is great! The story is funny, the gameplay is very fun and the devs knew how long the game should be to be satisfying. It's like 20h, it's a lot better then playing a 100h long boring rpg. The jokes are funny and the graphics are amazing! The music is on point too ! The only thing I would say is that it's gets repetitive like at the 3/4 of the game im glad that the game is onlyThis game is great!

    Even with a couple of technical shortcomings and the fact that the game needs a few patches to correct them, Eidos Montreal made a masterpiece with a lot of love and attention that will be remembered for all time. Marvel fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief and indulge in the new space adventures of Peter Quill’s gang.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the best Marvel games ever released. It has a deep original story that becomes personal with every choice you make , a combat system that may start slow but holds some of the best moments of teamwork and explosive action, and amazing graphics and soundtrack. If you’re a Marvel fan, this is a game you’ll enjoy.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy could’ve easily ended up being a lacklustre attempt at recreating what makes this group of oddballs so endearing to the Marvel community, but that’s not the case. The acting is top drawer, with a script in place that can make you laugh one minute and bring a tear to your eye the next.
