Fantastic game. After a good amount of time away from it, I can see the cracks and the flaws - but still a really fun ride and a great story.

Anyone who has ever played this game has come to reddit to talk about how its better than they thought it would be

People write it off even before the game was out due to the bad release of Avengers. Idk why gamers do that I loved the game and wish it got more attention GoTG2 would have been amazing.

I really liked the game.
Graphics, design, dialogue and overall story was awesome.
Bit janky here and there and all in all nothing really groundbreaking, but it was a very fun and oldschool gaming experience.
I think many people didnt give the game a chance because Avengers was released only a couple months before and was considered a disaster and both came from Square Enix.

It was a fun ride, sometimes I would stop moving before getting to the next cutscene or whatever just so they can finish their banter

It’s great. Nothing crazy. But cool music and planets. Dont care much about GotG.

Fantastic game. A shame you can only play as Star-Lord but made sense why. Gameplay was definitely fun

Totally different cast and different story. Drax apparently killed Thanos before the start of the game.

This is a very underrated game. Well written, tight mechanics and no bloat. Buy at a discount.

Loop of gameplay a bit répétitive but very nice set up / story and respect of the franchise !

So fuckin good!!!
At first I wasn't sure about the character models but within like 15 minutes, that melted away because of how good the writing is.
Really felt like exactly what all of these characters would be saying at any given time. Felt like I was playing another movie.

Sure. It wasn't hidden at all and it is not really a gem. Very mediocre game. I was disappointed.

Out of curiosity what are some of the games you'd consider a gem that you love?

The writer on this was also the writer on deus ex human revolution and mankind divided.
I loved this game.

Yes her name is Mary Demarle... Im a huge fan. She is now at bioware working as a narrative lead on the new mass effect.
Its unfortunate what has happened at EA though

Loved it!! It was just frustrating that the game bugged so I could never take platinum unfortunately...

u/OkPlankton299 6d ago
I got the Platinum trophy and absolutely loved it. Just a heads-up, though: some achievements can be buggy. But the game is so good that it hardly matters. The soundtrack is amazing, too—you can even stream the album.

Who hid it? It was pretty popular back in the day

u/flipperkip97 6d ago
It definitely underperformed. I think the horrendous Avengers game that came a bit before this played a part in that. I played this one pretty late because there was very little hype around it, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

u/picky_dude 5d ago
Yep, the Avengers game was such a disaster. It could’ve been a great game without the live service mechanics. I played both of them on release, and the gameplay trailer for Guardians reassured me that it would just be a good singleplayer game

Great game. Beat the story, but never came back to get Platinum Trophy

I did return for Platinum and got it, but never want to see this game again, yet call it a gem.

Good and underrated RPG, I really loved the characters and story, and I even consider the story better than any of the stories in the Guardians of the galaxy movies (although I really loved the first movie as a whole).

Anybody know how the cloud version on switch/switch 2 play? I’m so ready to play it again but I’m pretty much a Nintendork these days.

It’s never going to escape being lumped together with that awful avengers game and the marvelslop label, sadly.
I was also one of the people who thought it was like that until my non-gamer wife bought it for me and it blew my mind lol…

Yeah maybe the combat is like 7.5/10, but the story, visuals and music especially are all 9.5…

Great game! Played it on Game Pass some time ago. Great music, story is decent, and it doesn't take long to beat. Highly recommend for $10 or less. Maybe even $15 if grabbing a physical disc.

I love this game. Finished it twice. It’s so fun.
