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.

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.

Actually it’s on PC btw. It has been from the start, and that’s where I played it (i9-9900k, 2080ti, runs very well w all goodies turned on), and game pass included the pc version iirc

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
