Pros
- I hate most of the Marvel nonsense otherwise but enjoyed the game as much I enjoyed the movies.
- The thing that made the gameplay a lot more enjoyable for me was the customizable difficulty. I went in and made enemies really tough but then also reduced the cooldown on abilities to their lowest.
- It's insane they managed to recreate the same feeling of the GoTG movie in the game. At times I enjoyed the chemistry of the game cast even more than the movies. ... If the gameplay was actually worth something it would be one of my favo...
- The story, the world, the voice acting was amazing! Everybody is right about the gameplay, though it's mediocre.
- I was hugely surprised by this game. I played Avengers in 2023, so I was feeling a bit underwhelmed by the idea of another Square Enix Marvel game. But actually, it was an absolute blast to play with fun, toned-down combat mechanics, mem...
Cons
- loved the gameplay, found the constant interacting very tiring. had no bugs. best part was th customizable difficulty
- I think trash-tier is a bit harsh on the gameplay, but I do agree that the character writing/dialogue is top-tier, and if you stripped that away, the remaining package is rather derivative and uninspired.
- The writers did a great job and it was obvious they actually cared. That speaks volumes and shines through in the story. The graphics were very good too IMO. ... I just thought the combat was pretty shallow and I was already sleepwalking...
- I do generally agree overall, the gameplay is pretty weak. Enemies tend to be uninteresting to fight and they're damage sponges. ... The storytelling and characters carried the game really hard and even elevated the underwhelming gamepla...
- 9\/10 for writing, 5\/10 for a game. ... The audio and visual aspects are all good, nothing to complain about. The story is comic-book-like with a touch of Gunn movies. ... The combat is arcade-tactical. ... Honestly, it's boring and bad...

I do generally agree overall, the gameplay is pretty weak. Enemies tend to be uninteresting to fight and they're damage sponges. ... The storytelling and characters carried the game really hard and even elevated the underwhelming gameplay because the characters mattered to me.

It's insane they managed to recreate the same feeling of the GoTG movie in the game. At times I enjoyed the chemistry of the game cast even more than the movies. ... If the gameplay was actually worth something it would be one of my favourite games ever but as it stands it's still a game I love and recommend

I was hugely surprised by this game. I played Avengers in 2023, so I was feeling a bit underwhelmed by the idea of another Square Enix Marvel game. But actually, it was an absolute blast to play with fun, toned-down combat mechanics, memorable versions of all the guardians with great voice acting which got a few laughs out of me, and a really solid storyline.
