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.
