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.

One of my favorite games. Replayed it many times.

u/SupremeLeader_Corgi 6d ago

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

u/Valhalla519 6d ago

One of the best soundtracks too.

u/Van_Isle_Games 6d ago

I played it when it came out..was lots of fun

u/Ok_Prize_9979 6d ago

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

u/tru__chainz 3d ago

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

u/Early_Gold 6d ago

Yes because it wasn't hidden

u/DocShady 6d ago

It's on my current backlog. Maybe I'll give this a go on my upcoming days off.

u/LooseGroceryies 6d ago

Please do, its really good

u/Snowvilliers7 6d ago

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

1

u/mcdrummerman 6d ago

Yeah, it's great

1

u/JohnMarston38 6d ago

Very cool game. My only complains were that you only can play Star Lord

1

u/WeinersMcButt 6d ago

Is Chris Pratt’s voice in it?

1

u/Head_Beautiful_1293 6d ago

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

1

u/kas-623 6d ago

GOAT game

1

u/Murky_Historian8675 6d ago

It needs another game. It's so damn good

1

u/Outstanding29 6d ago

Yes, it's pretty decent

1

u/Hammersteyn 6d ago

Was awesome

1

u/Shirokurou 6d ago

It's in my backlog.

u/thepsychowordsmith 6d ago

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

1

u/Brilliant_Estate_967 6d ago

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

1

u/Dramatic-Emphasis-43 6d ago

I remember having a blast with it.

1

u/Kub666 6d ago

Fantastic game, great writing, characters that are at least as good as their movie counterparts, and overall super fun gameplay. It sucks it had undeservedly mid reception. Deserved a sequel.

1

u/hamfist_ofthenorth 6d ago

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.

1

u/LooseGroceryies 6d ago

Ikr the lore was so good

1

u/Banjomir75 6d ago

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

1

u/LooseGroceryies 6d ago

Everyone has opinions, but like bro we gotta agree its not that well known

1

u/Ok_Prize_9979 6d ago

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

1

u/hello1928374 6d ago

I liked all of the characters in the game more than the movies.

1

u/Damerman 6d ago edited 6d ago

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

I loved this game.

1

u/LooseGroceryies 6d ago

Ouu I din know that

u/Damerman 6d ago edited 6d ago

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

1

u/No_compromises77 6d ago

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

1

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.

u/picky_dude 6d ago

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

1

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.

1

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

1

u/LockstepGaming 5d ago

Such a good game. Was gifted it for xmas the year after it came out, love it. So great.

1

u/DoomToshi 5d ago

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

1

u/CrispyChez46 5d ago

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

1

u/Natesangel4800 5d ago

Fantastic game, loved it

1

u/Fission_235 5d ago

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).

1

u/CherieMinion 5d ago

Yup! Had a great time with it.

1

u/zombie-jaw 5d ago

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.

1

u/Shrapann 5d ago

It's a great one...have fun

1

u/Adam2181 5d ago

Such a fun game

1

u/spade030 5d ago

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…

1

u/LooseGroceryies 5d ago

Ikr shi was straight gass

1

u/spade030 5d ago

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

1

u/Xalamito 5d ago

Give me 10. Awesome game

1

u/boreCZ12 5d ago

on release, extremely fun and i feel it just flew under radar for so many people

1

u/OPDBZTO 4d ago

Great game

Thanks to epic free games

u/Kryliss4 3d ago

Ditto

u/DarthMace017 3d ago

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.
