Guardians Of The Galaxy Is BETTER Than I Expected | Review

Thanks to Square Enix for the code! So, I previewed Guardians Of The Galaxy a couple of weeks ago and walked out with some question marks. After completing all 16 chapters of the story, I'm happy to say I walked out enjoying it more than expected. That said, this game boasts a decent amount of flaws in the delivery of its defining features. So, is it worth your money? Let's chat.

Okay, but does Peter Quill have the exaggerated swagger of a runaway child lost in space?

[amokana]

I don't know why, but it reminds me a lot of uncharted ... That naughty dog signature dialogues between characters, the graphics, the animation. Really excited for this game

I think the bullet sponginess comes from you trying to use star lord’s physical damage primarily. Playing on medium difficulty you pick the element that builds the most stagger to remove the shield then freeze them and use a guardian ability or melee and they go down extremely fast

Great review btw Matty

I loved this game, it was very surprising how fun and emotional this games story was. I have a critique on your critique about the enemies being really spongy though. In the video footage you are showing from 8:05 to 9:16 you didn't utilize the other Guardians at all and was just running around in a circle shooting them with Starlord's blasters. This is why the enemies are spongy is because the devs want the players to be the leader and command the team to dispatch enemies. I found especially after fully upgrading my team, other than boss fights I was carving enemies up like a hot knife through butter. Especially when you string together combo's of Rocket or Groot holding all the enemies in one place and then commanding Drax and Gamora to go on a stabbing spree! Also when you said that by the end you don't have to command the Guardians to cut down pipes or build bridges because the devs probably thought what's the point. That's actually very false, It's due to the progression and cohesion of the team now that they start to do these things automatically. It's even part of the dialogue in Chapter 12 when Groot makes a bridge on his own and Starlord comments "Hey I didn't even have to tell you, we are really becoming a team".

The first Guardians movie almost impossible not to like. Are you well?

[psychopolar]

Well from what I've seen the gameplay, it's world design, choice and a game with no single micro transactions and a good solid 18 hrs of campaign seems like a good deal to me.

Just finished this game today. Its flarkin good man!

[jondoe]

Once we were told it didn't play like Avengers I knew it was gonna be better than expected.

[kangtheconqueror]

The first film is my favorite Marvel movie ever...

[DannyRayqu]

I actually prefered this game over the movies, not only because I feel the characters are amazing but also the story is so touching and relatable despite being a space adventure

[DeliciousMorsels]

It feels so good seeing this game get the good press it deserves. I feel like too many people saw the Square Enix logo on the box and immediately assumed it was being developed but the same team behind the Avengers flop. Like they completely ignored the fact SE is only publishing these games, not the active developer here.

I've been looking forward to this game since it was revealed, can't wait til I can pick it up and give it a shot.

I’m really excited to play this now!! Thanks for the great review Matty.

[vintagevmuscle]

Not being able to play as all of the characters sucks. That really kills the replay value.

[gleam]

I had high hopes for the game and already knew the reviews would be generally positive and I got a ton of shit for it. Can’t wait to play tomorrow!! Interactive storytelling is video games at their core

[lengland]

I love this game I really care about guardians of the galaxy they put there own spin on the characters and I’m fully invested what a phenomenal game

[sumireravenclaw]

I never really cared about anything marvel but after watching the first and 2nd of guardians of the galaxy it was so amazing.

[conanedigawa]

They wanted it to feel like a guardians movie, and I think they hit it spot on.

[psychopolar]

Well I know that GOTG isn't even released yet but I still wonder what the next project of eidos montreal is, a new Deus ex (which I personally want), maybe a new ip or maybe a sequel to GOTG?? Very curious to see what they'll work on next.

[robbucky]

I somehow ended up with an early copy of the game and it’s so much better than I expected. Fun combat, good characters and so far no sign of any microtransactions 🙏
