    The story is entertaining, and it features characters from the Marvel universe that haven't yet surfaced in the movies, such as Fin Fang Foom, Lady Hellbender and the Nova Corps. Add in the requisite humor and self-deprecation and an eclectic killer soundtrack, and you get one of the most enjoyable games of the year.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy surprises with a remarkable, true and emotional story with excellent performances, all in a unique graphic style, full of effects and color that give strength to the game and above all to its message. The gameplay is not at the level of everything else that is presented, but that doesn't make it a truly negative element. An ode to books, movies and fans, with a team that goes back to giving it all, something that the player won't forget, taking us to moments of laughter and sadness like no other Marvel game has ever done.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a fun game, very well-planned, with great narrative and strong ambitions to entertain the player. Star-Lord's interaction with the Milano crew and the rest of the characters is magical. Combat and physics can be problematic, but the errors don't overshadow the positives. Even the Latin American dubbing is a delight that you are sure to enjoy.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a good game that wants to be, in Peter Quill's words, metal. It doesn't quite reach that mark, but compared to other recent Marvel video games that aren't Spider-Man, it succeeds more often than it fails. If you've liked other incarnations of the team's lovable misfits and misanthropes, you'll like what the developers have done here. And even if you're only somewhat aware of its Marvel background, there's a lot to love already here that a fresh coat of bug-fixing polish will only make better.

    Guardians of the Galaxy shines when it focuses on the characters and the world around them. It might not be the most innovative game this year, but it excellently executes the tried-and-true linear action-adventure formula to deliver a great single-player experience.

    I suppose we can now venture into the old “is Guardians worth $60?” debate. If you miss hyper linear story games with no live service BS, and are a big Marvel fan, then this might be the game for you. If you are hoping for Devil May Cry level combat and God of War type puzzles and exploration within a linear story, you will be disappointed. But I can safely say this is probably a better end product than most people were expecting, and that alone is a pretty big win for a game that felt like a bit of a risk and like it’s been lacking in buzz leading up to launch here. It has issues, but it gets a lot right, and pushes storytelling in ways I haven’t seen in this genre before.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a great portrayal of the space-faring heroes and a good game. We encountered some annoying bugs that are hopefully alleviated with patches, and it's pretty linear, but this is an interstellar romp that you can enjoy across a few evenings.

It’s great having a linear experience, beautiful sci fi set pieces, great music, awesome dialogue. It’s as close quality to a first party game from the likes of Naughty Dog that a 3rd party studio will likely ever get. That’s not a slight. Please buy and play the game. Tell Enid these games are still important. A sequel will likely knock it out of the park. Buy!!!… Expand

    The music of the game is also perfect, the selection is so well chosen, I could just keep listening to those classics. In fact, I do that, on spotify. But its use in the game is a job very well done.
    What prevents me from giving the game a better score, for me, is the length of the game. For me it is too short, I wish I had more time with the characters and some developments.
    The gameplay for is good, however, it is only good because the game is so short, otherwise it would be ridiculously repetitive. Since I wanted to get the game's platinum trophy, I had lost some collectibles and had to play it again, which was not the best experience.
    The collectibles also, some are nice references, some are more story, but I think they were a little boring to find. It is rare that you find a collectible, read the text and feel satisfied. At least for me.
    However, it is a very, very good games, with marvellous moments and really good pacing.
    I recommend it for anyone who likes action games.    … Expand
