Underrated Gem - One of the Best Superhero Games
This game blew me away! I am honestly really sad that it did poorly financially because that means we probably will never get a sequel.

This game blew me away! I am honestly really sad that it did poorly financially because that means we probably will never get a sequel.
Here are the positives:
- The graphics are truly next-gen. The game looks incredible.
- The story is super fun with lots of twists and turns. It is incredibly well paced. Expect 15-20 hours.
- Great achievement design. You can get them all in one play through if you are intentional with collectibles (which are not excessive).
- The combat is very fun. You play as Star Lord but command the whole team with special abilities and group combos. It is very satisfying and fun. Ability progression is perfectly balanced throughout the game. Love the combat!
- Movement feels great.
- The villain is awesome and very comic book accurate!
- The cast is easily the best part. You will love this version of the guardians. There is a ton of heart and growth amongst each member throughout the game and their ability progression is tied to them overcoming past struggles. Really well done in the character department.
- This game is also hilarious. I love funny games (Sunset Overdrive and High on Life for example). I consistently laughed through the whole game. Great writing.
Negatives
- The end drags on for a laugh or two and it hurts the pacing of a otherwise great final fight.
- The puzzle design is just fine.
