    O jogo é excelente em questão de historia, a gameplay também é boa mas tem seus erros, por exemplo: na hora de vc trocar de elemento e meio difícil, pois é no dpad que troca e isso atrapalha um pouco na hora de trocar o elemento, mas o jogo e legal do início ao fim, e as conversas dos personagens durante a gameplay são ótimas, e o design dos personagens estão perfeitos, só não dei nota 10O jogo é excelente em questão de historia, a gameplay também é boa mas tem seus erros, por exemplo: na hora de vc trocar de elemento e meio difícil, pois é no dpad que troca e isso atrapalha um pouco na hora de trocar o elemento, mas o jogo e legal do início ao fim, e as conversas dos personagens durante a gameplay são ótimas, e o design dos personagens estão perfeitos, só não dei nota 10 porquê a troca de elementos é meio ruim, mas esse foi o único defeito que eu achei no jogo, minhas expectativas eram baixas mas quando eu joguei o jogo eu amei e zerei sem nem perceber, então joguem sem medo porque esse jogo é maravilhoso.… 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.

    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,
    The game does overstay its welcome for somone not really a fan of the IP, but this is still a great game to run through

    Fantastic music choice. Great use of the license feels authentic to the source material. Voice acting is mostly great. Lengthy adventure that has a variety of different environments. 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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

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.

    Tried this thanks to Gamepass and what a surprise! Really fun and engaging singleplayer adventure experience, love the dynamic between the characters and lots of good humour. The only less positive aspect is the combat that gets a bit repetitive by the end of the game! Besides that the game is perfect, definitely recommended.

    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.

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.

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.

    Guardians of the Galaxy was an intresting game with a gripping story and entraining dialogue along side fun combat but said combat does get old quickly and there isn't enough added in later on to imporve the quality of said combat.

    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 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.    … Expand

    Story is long and conveluted to extremes, soundtrack is awesome but isn't given enough shining lughts, and combat feels repetitive with obvious bis combos...there is a good game under all of it, but some changes would have brought it to whole new heights

    Guardians of the galaxy
    If you like the Marvel universe, specifically Guardians of the galaxy, you will love this game. It has made each member of the Guardians team a meaningful, cinema-like character with his own problems, development, and story arc. These amazing stories are accompanied by a big pack of crazy music and bright, interesting surrounding worlds.
    Gameplay 5/10 + The    Guardians of the galaxy
    If you like the Marvel universe, specifically Guardians of the galaxy, you will love this game. It has made each member of the Guardians team a meaningful, cinema-like character with his own problems, development, and story arc. These amazing stories are accompanied by a big pack of crazy music and bright, interesting surrounding worlds.

    Gameplay 5/10
    + The main game-line of the game is teamwork and collaboration between the members of your team, utilizing their individual strengths. All your actions, including the discovery part and fights, are based on using the abilities of your teammates.
    + The roleplaying part and your moves have a real impact on the world and the development of relationships between team members.
    + Researching the world helps to uncover the team's history and traits.
    – Researching the world can be quite boring, as the situations are very limited, and they start to repeat early on. For instance, if you have to overcome a breakage, your only option is to ask Groot to grow through it. This becomes repetitive quickly.
    – Fighting and enemies are some of the weakest parts of the game. Fights are very similar and interactions are minimal. You just push all the buttons and wait until all the enemies die.
    – Enemies are nondescript and uninteresting such as slugs, cubs, and worms.
    – The looting and crafting systems are disappointing and could have been omitted.

    Story and plot 7/10
    + Each team member is an interesting, deep and slowly developing character with their own story, fears, motivations, and conflicts.
    + The game develops and opens up the characters better than two films.
    + By the end of the game, you love all your team members like they are your own team.
    – The ending is typical of a Marvel story.
    – The creators of the game wanted to appeal to a younger audience, so there isn’t any profanity in the game. You will hear “fluck” and “fitch” frequently, which can be annoying.

    Visualization 6/10
    + The graphics are bright, the world is beautiful and colorful.
    + Each mission is set in a different atmosphere, nature, colors, making the world interesting.
    – The enemies are dull and mostly gray.
    – There is no blood in the game.

    Sound 10/10
    + The music selection is excellent.
    + The music is really crazy, especially during bright moments like activating team huddle up.
    + The Music highlights the mood of the scenes.
    + The character voiceover is cool.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

Some gameplay hiccups here and there make the game feel like it could have used a few more months in development but nothing that makes the game unplayable.

    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

    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 !    … Expand

    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.
