    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.

    Super fun single player game. It's an linear straight forward experience but is super good. The story is awesome, you don't need to be a marvel fan to enjoy it fully. If you are a marvel fan IT'S A MUST PLAY no doubt

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

    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.

    Нет ни одного негативного замечания, которое хотелось бы предъявить игре. Кроме ужасной рекламной кампании. Тем не менее, это идеальная игра для меня — веселая, не скучная, с отличным сюжетом и нормальными пострелушками.Нет ни одного негативного замечания, которое хотелось бы предъявить игре.

    Cool interactive adventure in the campaign of the most idiotic weirdos in all the galaxy, the main thing to praise the game for is the interaction and chemistry of the characters, the same gameplay needs to be improved in terms of improved shooting and animations.

    First time I tried this game it had unskippable dialogue scenes and didn't play it further. Its trying to lure you into one of its finest aspects which is the characters and their interactions such as dialogue. Once you get past the first 5-10 minutes of the game it becomes better and better. The gameplay is simple but fun and gets better as you go along.

The sound track is amazing as well and the story is a 10/10 for me. Didn't expect this for a video game tbh. The fight mechanics are impressive and simple. Not the most refined but good enough for this kind of game. I think if they got a sequel they would do it better. A really great game don't give up on it if the first 5 -10 minutes is all dialogue… 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.
