Perhaps this is a higher rating than I should give to a game with dull gameplay, the awful huddle-up mechanic, and all those awkward moments when young Starlord wanders around commenting "grandma always loved that" about every piece of furniture. But... I really liked this game! The characters and the story won me over.

Despite going into this feeling like these were knockoff versions of the film characters, I now feel like the movie characters are the shallow knock-offs. There's so much life and warmth to this crew. The worlds are gorgeous. The story is engaging and has some legitimately moving moments.

Give it a chance if you like character/story-based games! Also, the combat becomes 100x better whenever "I Need A Hero" comes on.
