so the two ways to do a guardians of the galaxy game were to do mass effect or do tales from the borderlands and now that both have been tried, I like the mass effect one more (is it opposite day?), but both weren't great. the combat is only good in hectic situations, and it takes over half the games length to get hectic.
the dialogue was mostly fine (aside from the quips when you use the guardians which are just terrible) but this game has the worst line cut off I have ever seen in a game. if you move forward out of the tiny zone where a dialogue is active, the dialogue will be cut for another one, and you will not hear it again. it makes you want to stand still to hear instead of move forward and listen. not fun.
also has some major framerate issues on ps5 performance. i don't think it ever dropped below 30 but it got close, which is bad for 60fps target, and it wasn't just during combat, it was during whenever something open was on screen. during the second to last level it got so bad I considered just going to the 30 mode because at least it would be capped. i can't imagine how bad it is on the ps4 or xbox one.
