There’s tension among teammates at first, but given room to gradually develop, these relationships resonate that much more. Guardians of the Galaxy - and every character in it - is charming and confident in a way that even the geniuses over at Marvel Studios can’t manage. Nobody even needs to mention Pokémon or raise an eyebrow at the slightly off-color joke that is “Team Green.” Amidst all this is a never-ending barrage of clever banter. Rocket starts calling them Team Green (because they both have green skin, duh), and then Gamora starts calling your squad Team Rocket. In the very first chapter, you start out with Groot and Rocket while Gamora and Drax handle another similar task. The jokes are laugh-out-loud funny, and not in the lazy way you’ll reply “lol” via text to something that actually made you frown in disgust. MCU and diehard Marvel Comics fans alike will be surprised - even shocked - by some of the game’s biggest twists. To say any more about the story would spoil the genuinely excellent writing and superb acting. And they’re the only ones that can stop it. That opening act sets off a chain reaction of events that just may destroy the galaxy.
The core squad of Peter, Rocket Racoon, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, and Groot should be immediately recognizable to just about anybody, thanks to the MCU.Īt the start of the game, these five criminals bumble their way through their first big mission. Twelve years after a Galactic Civil War in Andromeda, Peter Quill assembles a crack team of ex-cons to become heroes for hire. A big part of that is Jon McLaren’s Star-Lord, an earnest dork with a heart of gold who tries very hard to be cool and succeeds at it far better than Chris Pratt’s version. I like it more than the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies directed by James Gunn. I cannot express this enough: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a truly stunning, hilarious, and fun experience.
Will everyone else love Guardians of the Galaxy as much as I do? Or will they hate it as much as Rocket hates getting thrown across chasms by Drax? Better than the MCU To me, these shortcomings are totally forgivable when everything else is so much fun. Yet several of the most important mechanics - like combat and traversal - miss the mark. So much of the game is amazing - graphics, environmental design, art direction, motion capture, voice acting, writing, the totally rad licensed ‘80s tunes.
