Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

The story is entertaining, and it features characters from the Marvel universe that haven't yet surfaced in the movies, such as Fin Fang Foom, Lady Hellbender and the Nova Corps. Add in the requisite humor and self-deprecation and an eclectic killer soundtrack, and you get one of the most enjoyable games of the year.

Eidos Montréal gives us one of the most interesting narrative games of recent times, always taking advantage of the medium's own tools to narrate. Knowledge and affection for the characters, entertaining combat, incessant surprises... one of the best of the year.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a spectacular, albeit lengthy adventure with enjoyable mechanics and a surprisingly deeper story than what is on the surface.

Guardians of the Galaxy shines when it focuses on the characters and the world around them. It might not be the most innovative game this year, but it excellently executes the tried-and-true linear action-adventure formula to deliver a great single-player experience.

I really didn't expect to enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy as much as I did. The game's marketing left me incredibly lukewarm, and I wasn't sure what to expect, even after the first couple of hours with the game. What I found, however, is one of the best stories of the entire year. There's definitely a bit of tedium packed into the overall experience, but Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is an adventure well worth taking, warts and all.

Guardians keeps you strapped in for the ride, and while it does dip once too often, the emotional highs outweigh the patience-testing lows. [Issue#366, p.108]

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a great portrayal of the space-faring heroes and a good game. We encountered some annoying bugs that are hopefully alleviated with patches, and it's pretty linear, but this is an interstellar romp that you can enjoy across a few evenings.

This is a really entertaining experience. Story is great and the chemistry between the main cast of characters is fantastic like the movies. Visuals are beautiful and obviously the music is top notch and perfectly timed with the combat segments. Combat is fairly easy to master and it's great to be able to see the interactions between the guardians while listening to the typical Marvel banter. Not going to spoil anything but the final boss is absolutely epic and I nearly jumped out of my seat when the music hit. As a Marvel fan and an avid gamer this checks all the boxes for me.

Good story; it was the normal post 2020 marvel cheesy and heartfelt. Combat was ok, it wasn't clunky but there was definitely some stuff that the enemies did that you couldn't counter immediately that made it kind of cheap. The characters were cool as the movies with a bit more depth. Overall, good game wasn't great, not every game has to be. The main reason I rated it the way I did was because its a marvel game, its copy/paste story with copy/paste combat nothing new and different and nothing super interesting.

Fun game that has a good story and very good characters. I haven't read any of the comics but believe this is a very food adaptation. The characters is so good, the conversations feels real and not scripted. The story is overall good and engageing and the pacing is very good. The biggest flaw is the combat. I played ut on hard and it wasn't really challenging. I love the concept but the execution still has some way to go. If it ever gets a sequel i think it will be an awsome game

This game goes on for far too long. By the time I've finally met the villain I'd been playing for 8 hours of non-stop bickering between 5 dudes who REFUSE to endear themselves to the player. You get into a combat encounter where everyone spouts the same 3 lines perpetually. Then you run through mostly empty corridors while everyone complains about each other. Rinse repeat until all you want is for everyone to shut up. They never will, by the way. They'll just talk and whine and bicker and complain about everything FOR HOURS. The little moments are great where you have nicely written dialogues getting to know the characters. Then you go right back to the endless bickering. I can't do it anymore. I WON'T do it anymore. This is a game that's technically fine but still uncomeatable to me. If I have to hear one more snide comment about literally anything I do I'm going to put a controller through my screen. I'm simply done.

Gorgeous graphics. Fantastic voice acting and writing. Terrible combat loop -- fighting blobs and regenerative jelly cubes. What a waste!
