    Great story, gameplay, characters, world. I hope they make more games like these (20 hour story campaign without multiplayer and microtransactions)

    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.    … Expand

    Лучшая игра по лицензии марвел. Персонажи, визуал, и юмор, которого хватит на несколько экранизаций.

    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. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy reads a good plot, well-written characters (thanks to the original sources, of course) and a good game play.

    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).    … 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

    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!    … 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.
