Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

It's a great game.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is just as the populous say, an unexpected banger. For those that do not know, this game is part of a deal between Square Enix and Marvel to release a batch of games under the Marvel Games brand. Unfortunately, it came out after the release of the notorious Avengers game which made many skip Guardians with the expectations that it would be of the same quality as Avengers. To be frank, I have not played the Avengers game myself and cannot really say how it compares with this game. About this game though, it got me [i] hooked [/i]. Plot: The plot being a space-opera adventure with a rag tag group of a found family is what the Guardians are all about. Of course, most would be familiar with the MCUs version of the characters but fans of the comics could also find a lot of inspiration from the source material in this game. In a nutshell, the developers really dove into the characters of this infamous group giving each character an arc that would be completed to make the group whole. Not only is the story of the game intriguing and heartwarming, the amount of collectibles with lore in the game truly show the care the developers put into this game and how much they appreciate the source material. The ending truly showed how much the characters have grown and bonded together [spoiler] with certain quirks like Drax calling Gamora and Rocket by their real names and Peter trusting Rocket with his cassette player. [/spoiler] Gameplay: Probably the most divisive part of the game is the actual gameplay of the game. In my opinion, the decision to only control Star Lord was a good one. As not only does it make sense from a plot perspective but it works for the type of gameplay they were going for. Being only Peter did not mean you just had an effect on his actions because as Peter you are the leader of the group, you call all the shots. This is further reflected with the other part of the gameplay, a telltale-like choice system where your choices affect the missions entirely. As Peter, you made the decision for the members to coordinate their attack and in some instances could make a few interesting combinations of moves. However, this gameplay loop does get a bit repetitive which the dev must have realised because the combat sections were paced to not be back to back with simple puzzle segments in between but I do not think this was fully solved. Overall, the choices you make to further the plot as well as changing it entirely is the main strength of the game and is what kept bringing me back because I wanted to know what happens next and the character interactions were so much fun. Extra: Speaking of the character interactions, the banter between the Guardians as you travel through each stage made the game feel so alive, in a weird pseudo-relationship way it made me feel like I was hanging out with a group of friends just goofing and gaffing together. And the stages are just so distinct from one another which is exactly what I would expect from a space adventure. I could write about a lot more like the use of the licensed music and some of the character designs but I expect not many have even bothered reading this far into the review. In conclusion, an 8/10 game (Yes this may seem to be generous) that could have gotten higher if the gameplay loop was less repetitive. It is being carried by the plot and characters that many would possibly not relate as they may not be a fan of the group themselves which is fair. What's the point of buying a game that does not have good actual gameplay then? I’m not saying it's unplayable, it just needs a little something to really shake it up a bit. Something for a possible sequel, I hope. Until then, this game would most likely always be considered “the better game that Square made compared to Avengers.”

好玩，想看一部电影，该说不说，感觉游戏里的德拉克斯脑子要好使一点，果然还是漫画里的呀

The story was engaging and fun-filled, and the graphics and gameplay were superb. But seriously, how many times are they going to roll the end credits? 😅 And the worst part is, you can’t even skip them! After finishing the game, I honestly don’t understand why there’s still so much dialogue. The game is over—just let me leave already!

没记错的话应该是24年上半年买的游戏，断断续续的一直到毕业之前也只玩了一半，前期不太熟悉游戏操作所以玩起来比较磕绊，也导致前面的剧情都不太记得了，但是在最后一个悠闲的暑假也是一口气玩通关了。 偏粉丝向的游戏，但剧情画质以及环境渲染都非常优秀，值得好评。美中不足的就是战斗场面有些冗余，完全可以删减一部分来让玩家获得更顺畅的游戏体验，而且地图引导以及服装收集功能做的一般，还是偶然碰到衣服才知道是要去专门找的。 “我们是他妈的银河护卫队”

مره حلو

Went for the story, stayed for the story. The Gameplay is dull, the missions are repetitive. I would suggest to pick this game only if its on a discounted price. The steam Achivements can be easily acheived in the first gameplay itself. Anyways, I am groot!

这是另一个时间线上的银河护卫队，比本位面银护三更完美的结局。
