I did not expect this game to be as good as it was. And I think only making Star-Lord playable was a very good choice.

TURN UP THE RADIOOOOOO

I WANNA FEEL IT

GIVE ME SOME MOREEEEEEEE

this game rocks dont let anyone convince you otherwise

really wish more people played / talked about this game

Забавная пострелушка-адвентура. Юмор присутствует, хорошая музыка присутствует, не скучная боёвка так же имеется. Чилл.


Sin duda lo mejor son los personajes, además tiene el mejor doblaje latino que he escuchado en un videojuego. Es muy entretenido también, solo le quito una media estrella porque siento que en algunas partes se hace muy largo, pero nada que arruine la experiencia.

O melhor jogo de super herói já feito.

great art direction and pretty standard gameplay loop thats elevated cause the game essentially has a built-in 17 hour interactive podcast running as you play

Guardians of the Galaxy has to be one of the most dynamic and awesome IP's in the Marvel catalog, but something's been nagging me about the franchise:
Both the movies and this game have jam-tastic 80's music that ties the atmosphere together, but how does that translate to comic form? Are we supposed to imagine 80's music when reading the comics, or are the comics entirely different than the animated mediums? This question was brought to you by a guy who's never read a comic before.

Anyway, this game is pretty great! It took a while to get accustomed and effective to the combat system, but it eventually reaches a point of perfectly balanced difficulty. The music was perfect, obviously, and the story really surprised me as well! I always enjoy these characters, and they are very well acted this time around, and have some truly hilarious banter. We probably could've used some more character development for Gamora and Groot, but considering that anyone who's played this game has also probably seen the movie trilogy (tetralogy?), you can have so much fun with these characters without the need of extensive background info. Also, I think it would be really nice to leave this game without any sort of sequel or tie-in. It's a really good experience that shouldn't be tainted by a larger story.

Você consegue sentir o carinho dos desenvolvedores nesse jogo. A história é boa dms e o gameplay é divertido. De uma chance, vale muito a pena.

Wasn't too crazy about this game during the early stages of this game, but it really started to grow on me. I don' exactly love the gameplay, but I really enjoyed the story and I feel like that's this story's greatest strength.

A little rant about the gameplay though, I really wish we could've played as other Guardians apart from just Star-Lord. While it was fun to play as him, I feel like it would've been cool to also play as others, but nah. Star-Lord is able to control the Guardians to an extent (if you consider upgrading and commanding them to attack enemies as "controlling") which I still felt was fun. Some cool costumes customizations you can choose from for some of the characters which I thought was kind of cool too.

Какие же они ГЕРОИ

With how derivative the mainstream Marvel movies and TV shows have become in the last few years, I had low expectations for this game. Imagine my surprise when this game turned out to have not only one of my favorite Marvel storylines in a good while, but one of my favorite game campaigns period. While adapting some cues from the James Gunn movies (such as the obsession with 70s music), the game also goes out of it's way to separate itself into a completely different timeline from the MCU. As a result, the game's story expertly ties every character emotionally into a high-stakes intergalactic plotline that simply would not be possible if the game had to be concerned about being canonically consistent with 30 other movies and shows.

The game easily features the best versions of the Guardians and explores them in different but still familiar avenues to it's cinematic counterparts. It really is admirable how much love and care was put into this game's writing and world. This version of Star-Lord is easily my favorite, a complete reversal from my initial feelings on him from the initial reveal. The game's quality elevates the game from a simple recommendation to comic book or MCU fans to my honest belief that any player should give this game a shot. Even if the gameplay isn't the greatest, the game's charm and heart more than makes up for it.

História e personagens parecem bem legais, mas não o suficiente para me segurar por toda sua gameplay repetitiva, chata e desinteressante. O combate é confuso, sem profundidade e bem entediante e a exploração dos ambientes monotona e pouco recompensadora. A ideia de cada membro dos guardiões terem uma função é interessante, mas a execução não creio ter sido das melhores. Os puzzles também acredito não terem sido bem pensados, muitos necessitando da análise do visor sem razão alguma, mesmo sendo algo que já foi feita antes. Tive muitos bugs gráficos e a movimentação pelo mapa é bem travada, nunca passando uma impressão real de fluidez. A impressão é que o jogo é uma ótima porta de entrada para pessoas que não jogam. Espero que uma possível sequência ou jogo do estúdio seja melhor, pois apesar dos pontos negativos previamente citados, o humor me agradou bastante e houve muitas ideias interessantes em relação a narrativa.

wow such a fun time! honestly i was a little unimpressed by the gameplay. its not very deep and honestly kinda dull but this is one of the very few games where the characters and story are able to carry the entire experience. the versions of these characters are definitely inspired by their mcu counterparts but they aren't exactly copy and pasted. gamora and drax especially feel mostly unique while still retaining what people love about them. rocket and groot are the ones who feel the lease unique but i'm okay with that. i think for some people the unengaging combat or those who dont care about stories in their games will be turned off but for anyone willing to push through i think you will get a rewarding experience especially if you already enjoy the guardians

This came out when I got my first kidney stone in college, and I was hyped but I held off so that I didn't permanently associate this with my painful kidney stone that failed me 2 classes and left me very distressed.
Then I got this for Christmas and I got punched in the face the same day. So now I just associate it with that and I haven't played it after the first day.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a criminally underrated title and if you are a comic book or superhero fan you should absolutely check it out. I'm hoping that this review can help bring a little more awareness to how awesome this game is.

I'll start off by saying that this game is really strong on nearly all fronts. No aspect was particularly weak, so overall this game feels pretty consistent, which is nice.

This is a fairly linear game, both in its story and level design. It's set up so that you're always working towards the main story, and the levels are designed so that you always know where you're supposed to go. However, I will say that there are a couple sections where you're allowed to roam free around a bigger area, which is nice. The other levels usually have a couple paths you can pursue in order to find collectibles and loot. I think that this design works great for the game and I didn't have a problem with it at all, if this game were open world or open zone (is that a thing), it wouldn't have worked out very well.

Now, let's get to the gameplay. The gameplay is pretty fun! Exploration and puzzle solving, while fairly easy, is still enjoyable due to how it incorporates both the player's abilities as well as the abilities of the other guardians. Each guardian has a unique "puzzle/exploration ability" that is utilized effectively. If there's a ledge you can't cross, Groot can grow a bridge. If there's vines you can't get through, Gamora can cut through them. If there's a small space you can't crawl into, Rocket can. If there's something heavy you need to lift, Drax is there for you. Often, you'll need to use multiple abilities in conjunction with each other (I think) to traverse an area.

The combat is fun as well. I disagree with the people who say that the game should have allowed you to play as all of the guardians, because it would have overly complicated things and honestly, Eidos-Montreal would have to create an entirely different kind of game. Solely playing as Star-Lord but being able to give orders to the other guardians both in exploration and in battle gives players the best of both worlds while not becoming overly complicated. Anyways, the combat is pretty fun. The gun play is nice, Star-Lord has a few gun forms that he can cycle through as well as his own set of abilities. The abilities for the guardians are also really fun, and comboing them with your own attacks or the attacks of other guardians is seamless. I appreciate the animations for the hand-to-hand combat as well. Not only does Star-Lord have a few unique melee combat animations, but he also has auto combo finishers with each guardian, and they're all cool to look at. While you're not actively using the abilities of the other guardians, they'll fight on their own, and there is a surprising amount of effort put into how they fight, even though the player won't always notice these details in a typical encounter. Additionally, you can also perform finishers on enemies when their stun bar is full and their health is low enough (to be honest I'm not sure of the exact criteria needed to perform a finisher, but it shows up pretty often). These finishers are really cool because each guardian will take turns attacking the enemy and the camera will temporarily go to slow-mo when the attack hits, it's just an awesome finisher. Finally, I want to mention the huddle up system because it is by far my favorite part of the combat. Star-Lord calls the guardians in and then the player has to choose between two dialogue options in order to give a successful motivational speech, and then a famous song from the 70s/80s will play while you're fighting, and that whole sequence feels very cinematic and really pumps you full of adrenaline. It's particularly effective when you're being overwhelmed and about to die, because it allows you to miraculously come back and win against all odds, it's just an awesome mechanic that is perfect for the Guardians of the Galaxy. If you play the game for extended periods of time, I can see how the combat may feel tiresome or repetitive, but I don't think it will happen for everyone. Overall, combat = fun.

Now, let's get into my favorite part of the game, its story and characters. I imagine that it was very tempting for the writers to just try to copy James Gunn's versions of these characters and just reskin the plots from one of the MCU movies. However, I was thoroughly surprised and impressed by how the story and the characters were handled. While the major characters are adapted from the Marvel comics, this is an entirely original story that feels like a distinct and fresh take on the Guardians of the Galaxy. Of course, their personalities are largely the same, but not in a way that feels like they're copying anything else. The guardians in this game will feel familiar to fans, but they also stand on their own as unique interpretations. I'm a big fan of James Gunn and adore the GOTG movies, but at times I liked this game's version more than the Gunn's, which is something I thought I'd never say. Their conversations feel genuine and are interesting to listen to, and the dialogue options for Peter are also creative. You really start to grow close to these characters as you play through the story and become invested in their bonds and the trials they go through.

This game is also pretty funny. Funny dialogue is one of the rarest occurrences in any video game, so this game deserves praise for sticking the landing on most of its humor. Not everything is a gut-buster, but it's good enough.

Besides the main guardians, the other characters are also well-written and fit well within the story. Most of the standouts don't show up until later into the story, so I won't spoil anything, but I think marvel fans will be pretty happy regarding which characters are included and how they're adapted. The new characters that they've added I thought were excellent as well. Lady Hellbender and Raker were two characters that I had never heard of before, but I very much enjoyed their presence within the story. I love that the game's villains were characters that most audiences have never heard of before, it made me more invested in the story because everything that was happening was something new.

Overall, the story is completely original and very compelling, and the characters are well-written and entertaining. Since the game is linear, the story and characters are always at the forefront of what's going on, so none of the impact or nuance is lost on the player.

I also could not accurately review this game if I did not acknowledge the absolutely incredible art direction on all fronts. The levels in this game are absolutely beautiful and are just brimming with creativity. Each area has a lot of vibrant colors on display that just make the game a joy to look at and explore. The art direction breathes a lot of life into the world and makes the game more memorable as a whole. I also am in love with the character design. Not only are their personalities unique, but they all have a new look to them Even though there are other outfits you can discover for each guardian, I want to acknowledge how full of personality Eidos-Montreal's original outfits for them are. The character design is just really good.

The soundtrack is also very memorable due to the several 70s/80s songs that they include.

I also want to say that this game has my absolute favorite version of the Milano (the guardian's ship). You're able to explore the interior of the ship several times throughout the game and I love the attention to detail and how lived in the ship feels. I love that they condition of the ship also reflects the state that the guardians are in. It's hilarious how they're locked out or unable to access a lot of the cooler functions of their ship because they're broke. I really like that you're able to explore each character's room as well.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Hey, you've only said good things about this game, why is it only four stars?" And that is a valid question. Well, I guess I would say that as much as I like the dialogue, it can be a bit much sometimes (the use of flark is a bit excessive and loses its luster early on in the game). I also wasn't the biggest fan of one of the later chapters where you're in a cave, that one dragged on way too long and the gimmick that the dialogue was based around got kind of old. There's also a couple characters that I wasn't a huge fan of, but they definitely had their moments at some point in the game. Also, there is a certain fan-favorite character in Gunn's movies that is absent from this game, though there is a good reason. My problem with this is that many fans will likely be unhappy with the reason for their absence, and I actually think that the reason is very interesting and has a lot of narrative potential, it's never expanded on and kind of left a bad taste in my mouth because it felt like a plot point that should have been resolved. Hopefully it does if this game gets a sequel. Regardless, these are more or less minor complaints. I'd like to rate this game higher but my I know in my heart that it's not higher than four stars, at least for me, but I still absolutely recommend this game and it deserves your attention.

Overall, this game is really fun and a blast to play, it's what Marvel's Avengers should have been. Even if you're not necessarily a Marvel fan, I'd still recommend you play this game because there is a lot to love.

é tão legal a dinamica dos personagens nesse jogo, a história, gameplay e trilha sonora, JOGO MT BOM

Really really great super-hero game!

very good at least for the part i played

I've played this game twice and still think it's one of the best modern superhero video games. The group chemistry is off the charts and the gameplay is dynamic but repetitive. I love the fact that the dialogue options affect the gameplay and story. It was generally made with care, especially with the fact that comic book creators were credited in the suit selection screen. I wish more superhero video games did the same thing. cough cough Insomniacs Spiderman

A história dele é perfeita, a interações dos personagens são perfeitas, o final é perfeito, os trajes são perfeitos o ÚNICO defeito desse jogo é que após um ponto o combate fica repetitivo mas não fica chato, só traz uma sensação de que você está fazendo a mesma coisa pela milésima vez


Quase perfeito se não fosse por mecânicas meio quebradas, mas ainda sim é muito bom.

7/10. Got it from EGS.
I really wanted to give this game a much higher score, since the story is actually good, but it has so many bugs in it.
Characters disappearing in a cutscene, characters following you in the ship when they are not supposed to do and breaking the cutscenes, restarting the game to fix a text overlapping to another one.
Some of these bugs are old and it's just sad being in a good game. It's just breaks the immersion.
2 Things annoyed me: controlling the ship with mouse is awful and should never be a thing in the first place, it's good to have the option with keyboard and the streaming music overlay telling you that is ON, why put an overlay in top middle of the screen, it's awful.

Gameplay is okish, history is average.
