The bickering is playful, but there are a lot of repeated lines, especially in combat, and it’s easy to cut NPCs off by accident, missing out on some of the more enjoyable dialog. The conversations we hear capture the character dynamics and show how they interact together, and the developers nailed the crew’s attitude and style of humor.
GotG takes a while to get going, but this allows the player time to get to know the crew and how they interact together, which is important for a property like GotG that’s still considered new to many fans. While some of the more gamified story turns are predictable, they’re still fairly well-executed. There are layers and deeper motivations in the narrative, as you’ll watch each member overcome their individual hurdles. Many of the introduced story elements are there for a reason and not just as wacky insertions, so everything feels worthwhile. There’s nowhere to run and a lot on the line, so it’s up to the player to take control of Star-Lord and lead the team to victory. The group is out doing shady jobs to earn credits for food and repairs to the Milano, when one wrong move leads to a series of dangerous missions and a faceoff with a powerful threat that their actions may have created. Guardians of the Galaxyįor anyone familiar with the comics and films, this story will seem par for the course at first. Eidos Montreal has done much better with their source material than Crystal Dynamics’ offering last year, knocking those concerns of a mediocre adventure and mind-numbing gameplay out of the park, helping these space-faring misfits to (mostly) surpass Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in the gaming sphere. However, fans may be genuinely surprised with how quickly they begin caring about GotG’s characters and story. Some fans were rightfully worried that this game might be similar to fellow Square Enix published game Marvel’s Avengers: a ton of flash and recognizable comic book flair, with little substance. There’s plenty of excitement on offer, and GotG even helps make the player feel like part of the team. Luckily, GotG is much like its ensemble cast of characters: fun, loveable, slightly dysfunctional, and still rough around the edges. Even though an intergalactic adventure with a roster of lesser-known characters should be the perfect breeding ground for potential, there’s always that chance of it just being a passionless cash-in.
It was hard to get too excited for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
