From The Loadout: When I first laid my eyes on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy at E3, I was incredibly excited. Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe first introduced me to these raucous rogues, and the partnership between Marvel and publisher Square-Enix was announced, I’d secretly hoped that we’d see a game with Peter ‘Star-Lord’ Quill and co as its subject matter.
Of the gameplay footage shown, two things clearly stuck out to me – firstly that the combat looked like a melting pot of about a thousand different things, and secondly that our protagonists wouldn’t shut the hell up. It was big, it was loud, but I worried that Eidos-Montréal was going too hard at making the Guardians experience way more verbose than it needed to be.
Eidos-Montreal and Square Enix's Guardians of the Galaxy is the latest free Epic Games Store game, and it's available until next week.
It amazes me how epic can give out free games like that. While Sony tied theres to a subscription
The game is totally a rush-to-market with some discount bling topping. It is quite worthy of a pass at free.
The best PS5 single player games have incredible cinematic storytelling, impressive combat, or in Astro's case, charming platforming.
Returnal honorable mention reason is dumb. It is a single player game with optional coop. Just like Elden Ring which is in the list.
Ratchet and Clank and Horizon are my picks. Miles and GoW are gathering virtual dust on the SSD. Good games just not as addicting as those imo. Returnal is best if you’re into that challenge.
No uncharted :( I had a blast playing the legacy of thieves collection at 120 fps.
In a world where superhero team-up games are clearly harder to do than some studios think they are, Guardians of the Galaxy nailed it.
Totally
This game was more respectful the comic books than the James Gunn films, it's kind of what I wanted from them but didn't get. It's packed full of lore and references, creating their own thing while still being respectful the source material.
Mantis alone was fantastic and they even gave her the mantis like blades
It was a great single player game filled with wonderful lore and nice touches. Journalists didn't cover it much either so I don't know what this person is on about.
Not sure Midnight Suns deserves that shoutout, I barely made it past the first act before it grew too stale and repetitive to continue and there was nothing more to explore/discover in the base... Might pick it back up again after a break but overall pretty disappointed.
Guardians of the Galaxy tho, that one was a masterpiece. Admittedly I was super sceptical when it was revealed, fortunately a friend then bought it and convinced me it was worth it.
Oh wow, it looks like this might be better than any of us thought it could be, I went from not caring to... My wallet is crying out of all the great games coming out, Deathloop, Tales of Arise, Kena, now this, wow.
Not day1 for me as I would have preferred the real voice actors but I'll definatly be picking it up over Xmas on a sale for sure.
Don't understand all the hate for the game tbh other than the voices for characters.
