For what it is, Guardians of the Galaxy is a solid game. The combat is fun, fast paced, and stylistic. However, it lacks much depth and can grow stale by the end of the playthrough. The story in this game is probably the best part about it. There is a lot of detail put into these characters and they do not get along with each other well. The tension between them is palpable. Later in the game, however, after going through hard times together, the team learns to work together and value each other's company. There is a very simple mechanic where you can control characters to do basic commands in sequences between combat. At the beginning of the game, you have to command each team member to do each of these actions, but by the end of the game the team members will mostly do them by themselves, showing how the team has grown and how they can work together. Graphics in this game are absolutely phenomenal, it looks incredible on PS5. Environments are vibrant, colorful, and very deeply uniquely detailed. The licensed music was absolutely appreciated as it is not very common in modern games, and this game has quite a few licensed tracks. Overall, just a very solid experience with a great story and beautiful graphics/art direction.
