I honestly didn't expect much from this game given that I'm not much of a Marvel fan but I got really impressed by it.
Starting with the strongest point of this game, being the story and the characters, the way they interact between each other is quite funny and enjoyable. The story is what you would expect from a guardian of the galaxy game, over the top and all over the place but still it was entertaining for the game's runtime. The devs were able to make a funny game but also nailed the emotional parts quite well and I think the story and the atmosphere of the game are its main draw and are by themselves a reason to pick up the game.
Graphically speaking the game is fairly good looking, the animation of the characters were well made overall.
The gameplay is probably the weakest part of the overall experience, it's a third person shooter where you call your teamates for helps with some powers to go through the fights in addition to that you have some slight puzzles and exploring to do but nothing really exciting or detremental. I also encountered some minor issues where some mobs were bugged making it mandatory to reload the last check to resolve which was a bit obnoxious.
Finally the audio part of the is really good with a banger soundtrack, good sound during the fights and good performance by the voice actors that enrich the experience.
To conclude despite being a Marvel game which could be a negative to some, I feel like the game was really specially in the story side, a bit lackluster in the gameplay department but still well worth pickup and playing through the nearly 10-15 hours necessary to finish the game.
