    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.

    Maravilhoso Os gráficos estão muito bonitos no Séries S A história é muito boa A jogabilidade E a melhor coisa é o fato de estar dublado e legendado, isso deixa o jogo muito imersivo.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Amazing game. Best characters that I have seen in a game for a long time. They are very authentic, funny and you feel with them. Great visuals, too. The game even has a replay potential for me, which is very rare.

    GoTG is a solid party-based action RPG with plenty of the crew banter you've come to know and love. If you like the movies, this is a must-buy. The gameplay reminds me most of Mass Effect 2 with its fun, albeit linear, mission-based exploration and story-telling. The developers nailed the atmosphere and dialog. It really feels like being in one of the movies.

    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.    … Expand

    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. 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.

    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.
