Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy - Episode 4: Who Needs You Reviews
As a whole, Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series features solid audio from the soundtrack to the voice acting.
The fourth episode is the lowest moment of Peter Quill's group. Slightly slow in the beginning, the chapter has some important consequences for the pack, in addition to extremely relevant sacrifices, with a rise on the action at the end.

The best episode of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series yet, Who Needs You has a few good moments but still can't pull the season out of its general under performance.

Who Needs You has some strong emotional moments, followed by frustratingly unearned tension in the group.
Episode Four improves on its predecessor in most ways and sets the stage for an explosive finale.
As a whole I will give episode 4 in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy an 8/10. While there are oh so many things I adored, the stuff that’re keeping it from scoring higher are the fact that the major choices didn’t turn out to be as consequential as I’d wanted them to, I would have also liked more engaging pick of stuff to throw out or keep and the entire episode feeling a bit like a filler to the main plot.
Although the base story surrounding the Eternity Forge and Hala seemed like it was ready to finally conclude, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series - Episode Four: Who Needs You does its best to drag out that narrative thread. By diverting the story into a seemingly minor "cave escape" sequence, it surprisingly delivers plenty of emotions and ends up becoming quite an important episode in the scheme of things. The same old menial gameplay features here, though, with some uninspiring sequences to endure in order to get to the meaty parts of this character-driven story.
Finally, Telltale seems to be getting onto the right track with this property, but it may be too little, too late. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series - Episode Four: Who Needs You is enjoyable but still has issues, especially with its unlikeable characters.
With the season ramping up in tempo and the story really tethering off towards a conclusion, Guardians of the Galaxy is really turning into one of Telltale’s best series’ to date.
A flawed episode, but one which is finally getting the series back on track. At this stage though, we have to wonder whether it's too little, too late.
Guardians of Galaxy is treading water every other episode and this is something that Telltale needs to address immediately if they want to keep up with making games. Anyhow there is one episode left which might save the day after all.
