Guardians of the Galaxy Reviews
You’d be forgiven for associating this Guardians of The Galaxy game with the 2020 hulk-smash hit Marvels Avengers. For many I think there was almost a belief it would play and feel like a DLC or expansion of the former. Despite it being published by the absolute juggernaut Square Enix akin to Avengers. GOTG wasn’t developed by the Gex-famed team over at Crystal Dynamics in California, and instead was helmed by those delightful Canadians at Eidos Montreal.
If it weren't for the Guardians of the Galaxy technical problems along with the repetition of some parts of it like puzzles, this game might have been one of the best of the year. However, if you still want a fun and exciting game, be sure to keep Guardians of the Galaxy on your shopping list.

The game may not have reinvented the wheel for gameplay, but it doesn't have to. It's still damn fun!
While you will need to shrug off your preconceived ideas of who the Guardians are to fully immerse yourself in all the action, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy does a bang up job showing you why this version of the Guardians story is worth telling.
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.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a lot like the actual members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s got Star-Lord’s wit, the tragic underpinning of Gamora and Rocket, Drax’s combat prowess, and Groot’s tender heart. All of its elements are strong on their own, but much stronger as a unit. Eidos-Montréal can even relate to the Guardians as it had to step out of its comfort zone and grow for this game; a successful move that resulted in a memorable and marvelous experience.
Packed with heart, surprising twists, emotional depth, and bombastic, tactical combat, this is an experience that’s not to be missed. Here’s hoping we get back in the Milano with these heroes really flarking soon.
Without saying, there are a few negatives, but they mean almost nothing compared to the positive aspects of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which turned out to be one of the best games of 2021.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a genuine shock. After Marvel's Avengers, any superhero game released under Square Enix would've been met with similar resistance but the developers have created such an outstanding adventure should stand beside the greatest superhero games of all time.
This is an excellent video game that you should try and play at some point. It’s worth buying full price if you have the money, but as it is on sale often now it’s 100% worth a pick-up.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is, without a doubt, an example of how to release a game based on heroes from the Marvel universe, revealing that Square Enix has learned from the mistakes of the past. We highlight in particular its excellent narrative, an interaction between the characters from another world and a luxurious and truly striking soundtrack. Still, its lackluster combat and some small bugs that can unnerve players tend to prevent this game from being classified as a masterpiece. Nevertheless, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a must-have game for all heroes fans and for those who want to enter this universe.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy boasts remarkable storytelling, with great dialogue coupled with incredible visuals, unfortunately marred by an archaic structure and fun, but tiresome combat.

Guardians of the Galaxy’s power really came to fruition as the credits rolled. This is a linear and completable experience that takes you on a memorable, fun, and often hilarious ride through the stars. It doesn’t do anything for the third-person action adventure genre, that you won’t find in an Uncharted or Tomb Raider, nor does it have much reason to revisit beyond collectibles and slight variations in its choice system. What it does do though is avoid the typical pitfalls of padding out content and begging its players to keep playing. Instead, you are treated to an emotional, exciting and riveting form of escapism. This is a game that not only respects your time, but respects the material. Simply put, Guardians of the Galaxy is a flarking good time.
These are not the Guardians of the Galaxy we all met from the movies. They are better. In a game that stands out for its surprising of charm, care and emotion.

Guardians of the Galaxy isn't going to set the world on fire but it is a lot of fun. If you love the characters, have a thing for 80's music, and want something that won't take you a weekend to finish, then I think you will have a good time with this.
"Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has become a really entertaining game. The way the story is presented and experienced is very successful. A good compromise is found between action interludes, exploration and narration, without losing the common thread. Those who appreciate the soundtrack and the humor of the movie will also get their money's worth here, while being brought closer to the original universe from the comics. Basically, Eidos Montréal offers excellent fan service, with enough potential to entertain players who haven't had much to do with the Guardians of the Galaxy yet.

While the game does stumble a bit, it’s a perfect example of why teams such as Eidos-Montréal are some of the best at what they do. Once the credits roll, you’ll find that Guardians of the Galaxy will leave you craving more, which honestly, should come as no surprise due to how well rounded the overall experience actually is. It’s just a shame that we may have to wait for quite a while before getting another title.
The game plays out as an action-adventure with a fair amount of platforming along with RPG elements. You play as Peter and see the entirety of the game thru his point of view.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is truly an unexpected surprise. Gamers who have played Marvel’s Avengers might know what to expect from a gameplay perspective here, but they will be blown away by the absolutely wonderful narrative design and direction. A deep, personal tale is always a winner, but when it is gorgeously executed in conjunction with everything else that makes up a gaming experience; it is sheer perfection. Despite the simpler combat leaving a little more to be desired, it is easily overlooked courtesy of the enjoyment provided by the exquisite mocap, wonderfully formatted dynamic conversations, and the sheer scale of the environments. It all tips the scale in the game’s favour by an exponential margin. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a spectacle in terms of superhero adaptations and truly brings out the best of what games like these have to offer. Where Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) set the bar for games focused on individual heroes, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (2021) sets the bar for those focused on working within a team, and it is exceptional from start to finish.
