Amazing game almost no notes! Action is fun and punchy, does a great job of balancing the power-fantasy between you and the other guardians making them feel really important to the fight while you're still the star of the show. The story is also really enjoyable, goes beyond Gunn's best work across his GoTG movies by giving a far better balanced spread of attention to the whole group, notably how important and well written Drax is to this game vs being little more than the butt of most jokes in the movie adaptions.

Only notes for improvement is sometimes Groot or Drax would get stuck somewhere while exploring and wouldn't be available for interactables needed for progression, or a combat sequence would get stuck unfinished despite clearing all enemies, though this only happened a couple times during my playthrough and a quick checkpoint reset would fix it.

Other than that sometimes dialogue would get cut-off from new scripted events happening and choosing one of Quill's dialogue options too soon which is a shame because the banter between the cast is very enjoyable!
