This game doesn't really crush any expectations. It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect it to be. It's an average MCU movie plot with combat that involves holding down both triggers and boring environmental puzzles while the Guardians never stop talking. That being said, the story is well written, it won't knock your socks off but it's never particularly boring or poorly paced (except near the end.) I also really enjoy the way that party combat works in this game, each party member's moves are accessible with a specific sequence of button presses. It's something I'd like to see doven into more deeply, and certainly what makes the combat feel good. Overall, if you don't already love the Guardians of the Galaxy, this game isn't something that can really do that for you. I have a hard time recommending this to anyone who isn't a fan of the IP already, but if you are, get it on sale.
