Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - Episode 3: More than a Feeling Reviews
With only two episodes of Telltale Games' Guardians of the Galaxy left, once again I'm left excited as to where the story is headed next. Marvel's off-the-wall IP has made for a great source material for Telltale, allowing them to deliver what to me is one of their best series' to date. Hopefully the last two episodes will continue to deliver the goods.
Though the plot moves slowly in episode 3 of Guardians of the Galaxy, it still sets the stage for something great. Those looking to learn more about the crew of the Milano may enjoy it, but the more impatient among us may see this chapter as a half step.
More Than a Feeling is not a bad game when compared to some of the other titles clogging the market. However, when compared to Telltale's other series, it fails, lacking the drama and heart that made many of them so endearing. When compared to the films that it draws inspiration from, it can't compete with the likeable cast, crackling dialogue, and exciting action scenes. Once again: if you want to spend two hours with the Guardians, you're probably better off watching one of the movies again.
Episode Three: More Than a Feeling furthers the intriguing story and takes it to new grounds, thanks in part to the carryovers from the previous episodes' decisions and the heart-breaking story centring on Gamora.
Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy continues to be incredibly mediocre.
The third episode delivers a good balance between action and character development, having a satisfactory ending. Although still below the expectations, the Telltale's series is in a good position to gain altitude and finally take off in its final chapters.

While there are some great moments, overall, this episode feels rather mediocre. Just as the previous episode succeeded thanks to the introduction of the new member, Nebula, the introduction of Mantis here is definitely the highpoint, but outside of this, the story fails to captivate its audience once again. Even the "big finale," which gives two options to destroy the Forge or empower it, fails to give enough of a stinger or cliffhanger to leave the audience excited for the next episode… Two to go and it seems that means the histories of Groot and Drax may be on display. These flashbacks into memory are one of the few saving graces, so they should be good at least.
The third episode of the Marvel's Guardians of Galaxy is the one of the finest works of Telltale but it can not save the future of this game singly. There are still two episodes left and only time would tell if Telltale can ace it again or not.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Episode 3: More than a Feeling is currently the weakest episode of this season but concludes on a high note. It's rushed and while integrating Nebula and Gamora's personal stories did add more insight into their damaged relationship Mantis feels left out despite having a critical role in the game's plot.
Picking right up where we left off in episode 2, with more important choices to make. More Than a Feeling sets up the rest of the season for high hopes, and we cannot wait to see what's in store.
Anyways, as a verdict I will give Guardians of the Galaxy episode 3 an 8/10. I think it does better than episode 1, but a bit worse than episode 2 in terms of moral choices and character development. I guess I’m seeing it that way, because I had already set myself on the “let’s try to reconcile Gamora and Nebula” path right from the very beginning, so it wasn’t hard for me to decide.
We're close. To what exactly? To this series reaching the same heights with me that Tales from the Borderlands did. Hands-down that was my favorite Telltale Games title so far, but you know what? Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - Episode 3: More Than A Feeling shows that the devs really have a handle on mixing some science fiction and humor together.
The thing with Episode 3 “More Than a Feeling” is that it’s a far cry from the mostly feel-good setting of the series and it suffers because of that. There are some strange writing choices, not enough difficult decisions to make and the pacing is far too slow. Where it succeeds is in the fantastic climax to the episode, with a battle to remember and a reason to want to join in next time.
While More Than a Feeling introduces a new Guardian and gives us an interesting look at Gamora and Nebula’s stories, it begins to lean a bit too far into the habits of the films.
Episode 3 doesn’t fail at what it’s trying to do, but what it’s trying to do is starting to get a little dull.
The third episode of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series puts a heavy focus on the relationship between Gamora and Nebula, which offers more than a few major decision points that will effectively change how your experience plays out. It's a solid episode, which happens to have a bit of a pacing issue.
More Than a Feeling brings the full force of the Guardians and adds some members to it that really help round out the squad.
