Guardians of the Galaxy (the game) is really fricking good

I bought this when it came out, despite having heard how awful the Avengers game was, and was BTFO at how good it was. It’s a single player, no bullshit, no DLC, no micro transactions 15 - 20 hour game with INCREDIBLE writing. The story is good but probably won’t surprise you; it’s rather the characters and dialogue that mimes the James Gunn film versions so well and so enjoyably that if you like the films, you’ll probably really like this too.

I can’t say enough good about this game and it’s a fricking shame that it was seen as a “financial disappointment”. It’s “free” on GamePass, and I strongly recommend it.

PS- if the game feels a bit clunky out of the gate, just stick with it for 4 hours or so, and it really opens up in scope of narrative (and humor) as well as mechanics. Really a bright spot of 2021.

Garbage gameplay but everything else was really good. Guardians movies are the soyest of them all but the game was very based. The voice acting was incredible and the environment art is legit breathtaking. I took so many screenshots my hard drive filled up lol

Yeah, my main criticism is the crazy sluggish input delay, which is probably in service to the smooth character animations, but they should take a page out of games like Bayonetta, which skips frames or cartoonishly will exaggerate character animations to give you the impression of “natural” movement, but significantly snappier and more responsive controls. This thing plays like Dark Souls or Mass Effect in its sluggishness when it wants to FEEL like Nier.

Also, yes, goes without saying I agree 100 with everything else you said. The art IS breathtaking at times.

Not sure how many of you guys know of or trust the reviewer SkillUp, but I think on balance he’s a great critic. Here’s his review:

Not gonna watch cause I dont have console and play different genres but upmarseyd anyways, sharing info is always good. I am sure he is a good critic, which is rare these days as most people ride Disney Peepee hard.

He’s one of a few I genuinely trust, as his tastes seem to mostly align with me (funny thing, dunkey talked all about this in a video he did about games criticism: ) — primarily I like the guy because I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT from him. Just like Ebert and movie reviews, you get to know the personality of the reviewer and if they are articulate and consistent, you develop a real trust in what they have to say
