Guardians is a fun time, with great writing and genuine heartfelt moments. It manages to provide a cinematic experience without taking anything away with the gameplay or player choice
Combat is fun, but the lack of varied abilities is what lets it down. You either choose a stagger ability, or the one that deals the most damage. More varied Guardian abilities would've been great and possibly the ability to play as the other characters, even if just for a short while.
I was sceptical about only being able to play as Star-Lord, but now I appreciate the choice. You feel like you're genuinely commanding a team and your choices impact you personally, as well as Star-Lord. You want your team members to get along, you sympathise with them and you feel relationships form, which would've been completely missed if you could play as the whole team.
The soundtrack is an absolute banger. Star-Lord, the fictional band created for the game, have tracks that genuinely sound like 80s billboard toppers. Your dad could easily be wearing a faded out version of their shirt
