I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this game. Not because of the whole Avengers fiasco (different dev team) but I still can’t say I really care for marvel video games too much.
Spider-Man and Miles were great but it’s hard to comic book video games when everyone compares it to the movies.
You get a really weird mix of “why doesn’t this look like Chris Pratt?” vs “why didn’t they include this character”
Guardians of the Galaxy is actually a legitimately fun ass video game. It mixes really fluid combat with fantastic music and a story that actually kept me interested until the end. Though it’s very typical super hero plot, it actually ignores the origin story really perfectly and just assumes you know what the f a “Guardian of the Galaxy” is.
First off, the most important part that the movies really pushed for the series was having those really big tunes banging throughout the galaxy as the crew make their way through all adventures and they nailed it here.
From “White Wedding” to “Kickstart My Heart” to “Never Gonna Give You Up” the track list is incredible and really gives you a huge cinematic feeling.
Either in cutscenes or as your ultimate ability in combat, the music in this game is so solid and just makes everything fun
The story itself is pretty par for the course of a marvel story. It’s got your family drama mixed in with the galaxies at stake and with dumb luck and some skill, the heroes try to save the day.
I did actually enjoy the family stuff they push for with the game and some of the more compelling moments are absolutely with Star Lord and the character Nikki.
It’s nothing to write home about but if you like your super heroes, you’ll enjoy the plot.
Gameplay wise it’s a really fun third person arena shooter. You get enemies thrown at you in a small or large space, fight them in really fluid combat scenes and then make your way through the level.
The game has a perfect level of mixing its combat with the dialogue choices that will randomly pop up as you walk through the levels.
Which leads to my favourite part of the game. The dialogue choices. I had very good choices in mine that lead to really helpful moments later on
But my favourite choices are the random dialogue that happens as you walk. Being able to choose what to say really gives you a feeling of immersion. You choose how Star-Lord reacts to a range of topics.
Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy is a fine addition to the comic book video game landscape.
It deserves to be here and I really love that this game exists. If you’re looking for a fun 20 hour video game that you can sit back and have a laugh with.
Here is your cup of tea

Que maravilha de jogo, os gráficos, a ambientação, os personagens e os diálogos entre eles é surreal de engraçado.

A gameplay com os poderes é maravilhosa, e cada um desbloquear a uma habilidade ultimate depois de vencer um trauma é uma forma incrível de dar profundidade.

E a trilha, bom a trilha é simplesmente 50% do jogo pra mim, assim como no filme!

When this first came out I was surprised to hear it was actually really good since everyone thought it would be another Square Enix Avengers flop. I've been meaning to play this for a while now and I can finally report that I don't think it's nearly as good as the glowing reviews would have you believe.

Let me start with the good. The story and character work is top tier especially for a triple A comic book game. The guardians are a well fleshed out and realistic team that I really enjoyed getting to know. I think I can confidently say I enjoy this rendition of the guardians more than the MCUs version. The combat, while janky (I'll get back to this) is really interesting in concept and I really enjoyed the huddle up mechanic. It's technically a cheat but using a ton of 80's music over the combat sections was a nice touch. The graphics are very nice and the mocap and character models are some of the best I've seen. Rocket and peter specifically look amazing. All of that stuff is great but It's severely tarnished by a glaring level of unpolish.

There's nothing game breaking about the bugs/glitches I encountered but there were enough little things that made the whole thing feel like it needed more time in the oven. Little things like the subtitles not showing up for certain lines, audio being delayed for a second or so, flickering textures or just really poorly implemented animations kept popping up and never really went away. The way peter moves and feels is SUPER janky and never feels satisfying. His jump has no real animation so he just appears in air and his boost forward and up look awful. I know this isn't a platforming game but any time you try to jump from ledge to ledge or vault up to a higher platform it's a gamble if you'll actually make it because the controls are so imprecise.

I really am a fan of what they did with the combat in this despite but most of the enemies have FAR too much health and are repetitive with little to no skill involved. It's fun to use your teams super abilities but I never felt like I had to strategize even a little bit to win fights. The 3 bosses in the game are just bullet sponges that have basically no meaningful mechanics and take way too long. Though I did appreciate the first boss fights mechanics a little more.

Overall I did appreciate what this game was going for and really do mean that there is a good game in here but I cannot express enough how much this needed another pass or some kind of delay because man this feels like its about to fall apart at any moment. I'd say if you're interested watch some gameplay and decide if you're cool with all the jank before buying because I wish I knew before going in.

Guardians of the Galaxy makes up for all of it's jank, lack of polish, and the wet fart that is combat in the early hours of the game by being really, really, really damn endearing. Did I audibly sigh the 20th time Gomorrah said: "Having fun "praaaying" on the weak?" when referencing the gang of religious cultists you're fighting in battle? Absolutely. But then the awesome soundtrack kicks in or the likeable characters start bantering back and forth in a cutscene and you forget all of the minor annoyances the game comes with. Not to mention this game is totally unafraid to be weird as hell in it's environments, writing, and character designs and I can definitely respect that! It balances out to be a unique, fun experience with likeable characters, an engrossing story, and a terrific soundtrack despite how groan-inducing and janky it can be at times.

I love superhero games and Guardians of the galaxy is a great one. I love the gotg movies and I wasn't excited to play the game. I hadn't heard much about it and Marvels avengers sucked so I didn't have insanely high expectation but I ended up enjoying it way more than expected. The characters are amazing and I really like these versions of the guardians. The story is pretty good too. I liked the gameplay but it got very repetitive some times and it would've much much better if you could actually play as the other guardians (huge missed opportunity). Solid 8/10 fun game.
