    Incredible story, very good graphics, but average combat, I never really liked "cinematic" games but this one in particular really got to me, its story is extremely moving and forced me to keep playing, its only weakness, in my opinion, is its combat.

    В диком восторге от игры! Да, линейная, но зато какой сюжет, шутки, графика, атмосфера! Мир кажется живым, насыщенным. Если вы ещё и фанат фильма, то просто обязательна к прохождению! Проходил дважды. Первый раз на ПК, второй на XSX.В диком восторге от игры! Да, линейная, но зато какой сюжет, шутки, графика, атмосфера! Мир кажется живым, насыщенным.

    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.

    처음으로 플레이한 마블 IP의 게임. 영화 기반 게임에 대한 편견을 완전히 깨뜨렸다. 게임은 선형적인 구조로, 각 스테이지를 클리어 하는 느낌으로 스토리가 진행된다. 아쉬운 점은 맵 곳곳에 코스튬 아이템이 흩뿌려져 있으나 당시 발견하지 못하고 넘어가게 되면, 다시 맵을 클리어 해야 한다는 번거로운 점이 있었다. 또한 다른 캐릭터를 직접 플레이 하지 못하는 점이 아쉬웠으나, 스타로드만을 플레이하며 나름의 재미를 느낄 수 있어 오히려 좋았다.처음으로 플레이한 마블 IP의 게임. 영화 기반 게임에 대한 편견을 완전히 깨뜨렸다. 게임은 선형적인 구조로, 각 스테이지를 클리어 하는 느낌으로 스토리가 진행된다. 아쉬운 점은 맵 곳곳에 코스튬 아이템이 흩뿌려져 있으나 당시 발견하지 못하고 넘어가게 되면, 다시 맵을 클리어 해야 한다는 번거로운 점이 있었다. 또한 다른 캐릭터를 직접 플레이 하지 못하는 점이 아쉬웠으나, 스타로드만을 플레이하며 나름의 재미를 느낄 수 있어 오히려 좋았다.

    El juego tiene una excelente historia y mecánicas, banda sonora, todo esta muy bien, pero tiene muchos bugs, en ocasiones se queda el menú pegado en la pantalla y no se va, entre otros, quitando esos problemas el juego esta perfecto.

    Marvel knows how to tell a story and they outdid themselves with this. The voice acting is superb, the graphics, music and level design is top notch. The story writing and dialogue are terrific. The combat is fun with Mass Effect style team cooperation. Really excellent game that I never would have played if it hadn’t been scheduled for departure from Xbox Game Pass.

    This game blew me away! I am honestly really sad that it did poorly financially because that means we probably will never get a sequel.
    Here are the positives:
    - The graphics are truly next-gen. The game looks incredible.
    - The story is super fun with lots of twists and turns. It is incredibly well paced. Expect 15-20 hours.
    - Great achievement design. You can get them all in one play through if you are intentional with collectibles (which are not excessive).
    - The combat is very fun. You play as Star Lord but command the whole team with special abilities and group combos. It is very satisfying and fun. Ability progression is perfectly balanced throughout the game. Love the combat!
    - Movement feels great.
    - The villain is awesome and very comic book accurate!
    - The cast is easily the best part. You will love this version of the guardians. There is a ton of heart and growth amongst each member throughout the game and their ability progression is tied to them overcoming past struggles. Really well done in the character department.
    - This game is also hilarious. I love funny games (Sunset Overdrive and High on Life for example). I consistently laughed through the whole game. Great writing.

    Negatives
    - The end drags on for a laugh or two and it hurts the pacing of a otherwise great final fight.
    - The puzzle design is just fine.    … Expand

    Must-have game for Marvel fanboys. You are a lord although through commands you can make your companions launch attacks. perhaps it could have been improved by choosing a character, being able to switch between them or with specific missions. But if you liked the movies, the game sure did too.

    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.

    Sehr gute Grafik, witzige Charaktere und gute Story. Spiel legt sowieso mehr wert auf Story, also viel Text, etwa 65% Story/Gelaber - 35% Kampf. Spielt sich sehr casual, stört aber nicht. Für Fortgeschrittene Spieler empfehle ich den schweren Schwierigkeitsgrad, da sogar der sehr leicht ist. Für wen es wichtig ist, es sind nicht die Filmcharaktere! Ganz andere Handlung, störte mich aber nicht

    Good game for what it is. Plus it’s free on gamepass, so what’s not to dislike. The Raccoon character is annoying but never watched the movie so not sure if that just how he is.

    A very enjoyable game, with impressive graphics, and also very good voice-acting (even though none of the original voices from the movies were used). Positive difference between the movies and the game, is that "Starlord" in the game is much more likeable than the one in the movie.

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! It is rare that a game makes me want to collect and complete 100% of the game it's really that enjoyable, give this a try it is very much worth your time and money.

    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.    … Expand

    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,

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    Pros:

    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.

    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.
