Movies Games and Tech writes: MARVEL’s Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series (MGotG) started off really promising, similar but a refreshing twist on what fans of the big screen version know and love. Episode two however was a disappointment for me, it fell flat is far too many places and whilst the side story of Rocket’s origin was indeed fun to explore, overall the pace dropped too much for me and it became all a little meh. I really hoped that Episode Three ‘More than a feeling’ would get the series back on track and show my player choices starting to have an effect the story-line, thankfully it does.

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.
