4.5/5 ★ – DigitalSamson's review of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.

I was not prepared for this game. After Marvel’s The Avengers, I was honestly expecting a half-baked, soulless cash grab. I am so glad to be wrong. If this game did anything right, it definitely nailed the personality that is so distinctive to the GotG. The banter was so well-done. I don’t think there was a single moment of silence throughout the entire runtime of the campaign (and that’s not a bad thing, in my opinion). Upon meeting the main cast of characters, it obviously inspired by the MCU movies, but I think the writers and voice actors did a great job making them feel like their own iterations rather than a cheap copy. The story ends up being charming, emotional, and down right hilarious. My biggest complaint is that the game isn’t as polished. I experienced a few annoying bugs (on Xbox Series X in Ray Tracing Mode. Once I turned it down to performance mode, it ran fine). The gameplay won’t set the world on fire, but it’s serviceable.
