Kuma here with our review of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series.
Lewis writes: "With Square Enix presenting gameplay of the new Avengers game at E3 2019 and with the release of Sony’s Spider-man on PS4 last year it is fair to say we may be heading into a new golden age of Superhero games on consoles. While watching the videos that were released of the new title, I began thinking about Superhero games that I had enjoyed over the last 10 years since Arkham Asylum’s release. I remembered there were a number of them that surprised me with how good they actually were and after looking online and speaking to friends discovered they had little fanfare, or people simply wrote them off for being movie tie-ins despite some being reviewed well.
I wanted to speak to you all about just a handful of these titles so that they may get some of the recognition they deserve, but also so you can enjoy some hidden gems of the genre."
PC Invasion: Telltale's former narrative designer speaks up about her bosses turning Guardians of the Galaxy into a "darker, violent, and sadder" game, as well as wanting to cater to a "core gamer-type" of an audience.
Well, the entire Marvel universe has gone that way, including GotG. Half of it got annihilated. Even the comedic storyline of Deadpool couldn't escape that ennui. So I guess that's what some idiots guiding comic-book superhero stories think we want to see. Telltale was just following suit.
