Set against a soundscape of classic ‘80s tunes, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a rollercoaster ride of tongue-in-cheek fun. Developer Eidos Montreal has made its mark with witty and heartfelt writing that brings the universe and the Guardians themselves to life. However, Guardians of the Galaxy feels like it outstays its welcome, with a story that seems to needlessly drag on, alongside boring combat and environments that get repetitive pretty quickly.
Laugh-out loud moments; Brilliant, witty writing; Great use of ‘80s licensed music; Fleshed-out universe;
Story feels drawn out; Combat is boring and repetitive; Environments lack depth
