Not only was Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy a blast, but it was also nuanced—yes, the silliness was expected, but it didn’t shy away from character development and showing vulnerability in its characters. Speaking of its characters, the team dynamics were really great, especially their interactions with each other. Instead of having silent husks for companions, the sass and banter never stopped.

There was so much that excited me as I got further into it, from the little details of the story, to each new planet that offered weird yet wonderful flora and fauna. It’s hard not to consider it a prime example of a stellar single-player adventure.
