Not quite on the level of Insomniac's Spider-Man but still a pretty fun time. The combat isn't exactly amazing but it's serviceable and gets pretty fun once you unlock more abilities, although the boss fights are mostly lame and very easy. The story probably won't blow you away but it's enough to keep your attention and it does land many of the emotional and comedic beats. It's a very gorgeous game, some of the shots, especially the ones in space were amazing to look at. The soundtrack was excellent, and the voice acting was also very good. My favorite part however, was the interaction between the cast. The bond they have is genuine and it develops in a way that actually makes sense, and their bantering and bickering never got old for me. There are some bugs unfortunately, and I've encountered bugs that had me stuck inside walls multiple times, but other than that, the performance was pretty great and smooth.

To sum it up, it's good, but not quite great, because a lot of the mechanics and the storyline lacks certain things that would make it stand out, but they absolutely nailed the characters by combining the comic book and MCU personalities into one, and really, the heart is what matters in Guardians of the Galaxy related material.
