A perfect Guardians of the Galaxy game; feels like a "best of both worlds" scenario as it combines the dark wit, rock soundtracks, and emotional sincerity of the Gunn films while embracing more comic accurate roots in regards to characterization, art design, and general story. This is a treasure trove of references and deep cuts but also never forgets to tell it's own story, and said story explores death, grief, and alienation in a way that's refreshing and poignant.

It helps it's rock solid from a gameplay perspective too. Fluid as hell, and the other Guardians don't feel like added weight but instead have their own unique contributions (NONE of them are useless). Runs out of steam a little bit towards the end once you've unlocked everything (which is exceptionally easy) and combat becomes mostly perfunctory - the only real failing of the game - but otherwise this is a nigh-perfect superhero game. Adored this!
