    Simply fantastic. Please buy and play. Help get a sequel green lit!! The dialogue is so amusing, the team building is perfect, you care for the characters by the end, the combat is fun, adds layers of complexity and a bit of strategy. It’s just so great. If you like sci fi adventure games in general or the guardians of the galaxy it’s a must play!

    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

    I confess that the trailer at E3 to the sound of "bad reputation" by Joan Jett and "Holding Out For a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler left me with instant hype. I didn't regret it, the game is amazing, graphics, storyline, gameplay, etc.

    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.

    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.

Its trying to lure you into one of its finest aspects which is the characters and their interactions such as dialogue.

    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,

    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

    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. But thanks to Xbox Game Pass, I tried perhaps one of the best games of 2021.

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. The reason why I didn't give it a 10 because the bugs ruined some of the moments for me but they are going to patch them so it's definitely still worth getting.… Expand

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).    … Expand

    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.

    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.
