Guardians of the Galaxy Reviews
This take on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy puts a premium on character and storytelling, with surprisingly impressive results
Guardians of the Galaxy knows how to pick up the baton from games like Marvel Spider-man or Batman Arkham and take advantage of all the lore of the comics. And in that the Cosmic Marvel is unparalleled. Richard Ryder, Yondu, Darkhawk, Mantis, Cosmo, Thanos or The Collector are just some of the names that will appear as simple references or as essential NPCs in the plot and the truth is that they greatly enrich the experience of the staunch fan of these characters. Eidos Montreal has emerged victorious from a challenge that had a lot against it beforehand, thanks to a practical design and no external complications. Square-Enix should take note of the way forward for future projects.

Despite feeling repetitive at times, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a fun-filled action game with a likable cast of familiar characters that’ll be hard for MCU fans to turn down.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the redemption that Square Enix needs. This game is a fantastic single player journey that britantly shows off the Guardians in action. If you were burned by Marvel’s Avengers, this game might heal those old wounds.
While Guardians of the Galaxy was by no means perfect, it is one of the best superhero action-adventure games I have ever played. The soundtrack was amazing filled with classic rock hits that motivate combat and immerse players into the story. The upgrade system was great aside from the fact it was a bit basic. I loved the team chemistry and felt that this game was a fantastic comic book adaption. There were a few bugs, but nothing that kills the game like a lot of Ubisoft titles. While combat could have had a bit more spice, this game shows that linear games are just as powerful as open-world titles. If anything, I commend what Square did by making a superhero game that had no open qualities whatsoever.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy leaves an outstanding first impression but after playing it for a handful of hours, you'll realise that it doesn't really offer enough exciting gameplay to last its entire campaign. It's still a wonderful game to watch, though.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a title that knows what it wants to teach and how it wants to teach it and executes it in the best possible way. Yes, it has some small flaw, such as lip synchronization or that the combat can end up becoming something repetitive in its end, but it has a great asset: it focuses on telling us a story and puts everything in pursuit of it. It does not lengthen artificially with side or filler missions but goes straight and with everything for it.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a surprisingly strong turn for a game adapted from a Marvel property. It focuses on the team dynamic to fill out its gameplay and relies on strong writing to carry its linear campaign while boasting nuanced performances and a soundtrack that would make James Gunn blush.
Square Enix and Eidos Montreal have managed the license balancing act that few would have expected: From the flop of 2020 to the hot GotY candidate in 2021. With a heavy dose of wit, charm and plenty of 80s vibes, Eidos Montreal has shown a flair for the brand and fully catapulted Guardians into our hearts. After last year's Avengers fiasco, the single-player adventure is an absolute surprise hit and the necessary redemption for battered Marvel souls. Thanks to the glorious music selection, the lovable characters and the thrillingly staged story around five likeable messes, Eidos Montreal's licensed implementation has become an absolutely well-rounded affair. The relationships between the protagonists seem tangible and real, the group dynamics are worked out in detail and the many comic book references make you want more. It's a real pleasure to watch your pals tease, argue or get along and see how they keep growing together as a team. The shallow and rather rudimentary battles lack depth and overview, but are still very motivating. Even minor technical glitches can't detract from the game's great fun.

Marvel's Guardians of The Galaxy managed to bring a really good portrayal of space Marvel team with fluid combat and great soundtrack. Bugs are killing the game though.

Imagine watching this movie for 15 hours. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy makes a great impression at first, but as you pass time, it makes you feel like it's a monotonous game.

I initially booted up Guardians of the Galaxy with tempered expectations but was surprised with how much fun I ended up having. Despite having a few setbacks, Guardians of the Galaxy is easily one of the best games of the year thanks to its fantastic story.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy offers a very different kind of team-based combat and although sometimes it may feel a little too easy, learning how the combinations of the whole team’s powers work will bring you a lot of joy. The story doesn’t feel anything new in this kind of cosmic adventure narrative but by focusing on likeable characters and giving them great dialogues and enough time to thrive, the developers have managed to elevate their story in the best possible way.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a good superhero game. It may not be the best out there, but it is in the top 5. If you are a true Marvel fan familiar with the Guardians of the Galaxy universe it hits the perfect notes in almost perfect order. It tried to balance the videogames gameplay with a cinematic experience, focusing on delivering a quality single player experience.
Guardians of the Galaxy provided me with a very beautiful experience. I enjoyed every moment of it and was surprised by its beautiful levels. The story, characters, and dialogues of the game were among the most interesting things that I tried recently. There are technical problems here and there that were not a big obstacle in my experience of the game, if you are a fan of Superheroes games I recommend it to you.

Where Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy proves most winsome, however, is in its twining of the intergalactic and the terrestrial.
