Vamers says: "Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is truly an unexpected surprise. Gamers who have played Marvel’s Avengers might know what to expect from a gameplay perspective here, but they will be blown away by the absolutely wonderful narrative design and direction. A deep, personal tale is always a winner, but when it is gorgeously executed in conjunction with everything else that makes up a gaming experience; it is sheer perfection. Despite the simpler combat leaving a little more to be desired, it is easily overlooked courtesy of the enjoyment provided by the exquisite mocap, wonderfully formatted dynamic conversations, and the sheer scale of the environments. It all tips the scale in the game’s favour by an exponential margin. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a spectacle in terms of superhero adaptations and truly brings out the best of what games like these have to offer. Where Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) set the bar for games focused on individual heroes, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (2021) sets the bar for those focused on working within a team, and it is exceptional from start to finish."
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.
god I hope this game sells well so we can get a sequel.
