    Faz anos que não me divirto com um jogo. E isso é um jogo de verdade. Mesmo sendo curto me prendeu, diálogo entre os personagens a todo o instante com um belo trabalho de dublagem e localização, espero que venha dlcs

    Game deserves a 10 if we watch back to other games the last 2 years. I did not thing this game could surprise me with anything.
    Great grafi, very good synchronisation (in german), great gameplay and sounds. only a few bugs where u have to restart the game or characters starts flying. A few voices are sometimes Interruping someone else. But overall, a great game with great story.

    Good game for what it is. Plus it’s free on gamepass, so what’s not to dislike. The Raccoon character is annoying but never watched the movie so not sure if that just how he is.

    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

    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

    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

    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.
