Guardians of the Galaxy - Review Round-Up

RPG Fan: 87/100, Marvel has a new champion in the video game realm, so make mine Guardians of the Galaxy

• (+) Story is hilarious even when it's heart-wrenching; player choice impresses; frantic combat is fun; visuals are out of this world.
• (-) Enemy AI needs work; combat not as deep as it looks.

GamesRadar: 4/5, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy tells an utterly memorable story, with brilliant takes on the Guardians themselves, even if the gameplay could be more adventurous at times.

• (+) MCU level storytelling; fantastic world-building; great take on the beloved Guardians cast.
• (-) Puzzle repetition; some decisions feel out of your hands.

PCInvasion: 8.5/10, The plot meanders and the game is somewhat too long, but it's still a great time and well worth experiencing for Guardians fans.

GamesIndustry.biz: Critics suggest that much like the space-faring super heroes involved, Eidos-Montréal's is basically good but a little rough around the edges

Wccf Tech: 8/10, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a highly enjoyable action/adventure romp that never strays from the beaten path. You won't find any major experiments or innovations here, but you will experience a great adaptation of the beloved dysfunctional team of galactic superheroes. The story and characters are well written, the combat is fun (if perhaps a bit too easy), and the audio is excellent.

• (+) The Guardians of the Galaxy spirit is perfectly captured; well-written characters and story; amazing audio (both music and VA); fun combat...
• (-) ...although it is too easy, diminishing the need for Huddle; there's no real innovations, and the exploration is ordinary stuff.

GameRant: 4/5, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy features an emotional and hilarious story, immersive decisions, and combat that's exciting if a bit bloated.

RPG Site: 8/10

Destructoid: 6.5/10

TechRadar: 4/5

• (+) Laugh-out loud moments; brilliant, witty writing; great use of ‘80s licensed music; fleshed-out universe.
• (-) Story feels drawn out; combat is boring and repetitive; environments lack depth.

TheGamer: 4/5

• (+) Perfect soundtrack; best Guardians story so far; funny, short and not just Marvel funny
• (-) Dated conventions like eagle vision; can feel repetitive; combat is rubbish when everything is in cooldown.
