It’s incredible

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Definitely deserves way more love 💗

mohjima.bsky.social•97 days ago

It's absolutely amazing and I'm glad I supported them with the deluxe edition on release. It was worth every penny.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I grabbed it pretty soon after release and instantly fell in love with the game.

chronoangel86.bsky.social•97 days ago

Last year I got the collectors edition for only $20 an absolute steal

ancrathjustice.bsky.social•97 days ago

I'm working my way through it right now! They get the team dynamics perfect.

wholesomechaotic.bsky.social•97 days ago

Such a gem. Unfortunately I think Avengers left such a bad taste that nobody expected this to be any good and skipped it.

jackmaus2.bsky.social•97 days ago

I know I almost skipped it because of The Avengers game. I was glad to start seeing some YouTube videos of others playing and seeing their dev team gave a ton of care for this.

mediumraregamer.bsky.social•97 days ago

The crazy part is I feel like I was the only one who thought it looked good from the first reveal. I was excited right away, but the discourse I saw was “I dunno…Avengers game let down…blah blah blah”. I was shocked cause I thought it’d looked really cool and turned out it was

sweetsweetplasmids.bsky.social•97 days ago

I absolutely loved this game. Laughed out loud a lot

yokaidigital.bsky.social•97 days ago

I really enjoyed it, i was at first annoyed I have to be Star Lord he’s not my favorite guardian but after playing it I knew it made sense to do it that way. Still though wished I could had been Rocket though

lunchtrey.bsky.social•96 days ago

It's only slept on because people were still feeling the sting from the Avengers game they made before it.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•96 days ago

Agreed.

lozzykinz.bsky.social•97 days ago

I'm loving it!

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

❤️

r0ttenpanda.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yes! Genuinely surprised at how good it is. Underappreciated for sure.

zerosignal.bsky.social•97 days ago

The instrumental that plays when you have it highlighted on PS4/PS5 ("Ghost") lives rent free in my head

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oh it’s so beautiful 😍

kerron.bsky.social•97 days ago

Might be my fave superhero game after the Arkham games!

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I need to play the Arkham games, but man this game was fun!

kerron.bsky.social•97 days ago

They're usually on sale super cheap these days! Definitely worth picking up

Guardians really took me by surprise though! Think I enjoyed it more than the movies tbh

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I’m glad it was its own thing from the movies! 💗

wrathfulhart.bsky.social•97 days ago

Enjoyed this game a lot! I did get hit with an end game glitch that made me redo the entire ending segment but other than that it was a good time

kayofrivia.bsky.social•97 days ago

I really enjoyed this game!

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Great game ❤️

seraphant.bsky.social•97 days ago

Have not played this yet! Tho my first impressions were not good, I've heard it's actually pretty great!

theagentofdoom.bsky.social•97 days ago

Enjoyed it quite a bit. I feel like a sequel would be truly killer, and even better than what they did the first time around.

kingpinfox.bsky.social•96 days ago

It's so underrated, really glad you enjoyed it! Story is fantastic and gameplay is really frenetic and fun.

I think people griped on it being too linear but I quite like linear structured story games.

Hell, my favourite game of all time is Half Life 2.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•96 days ago

I thought the same!!

hosapr.bsky.social•97 days ago

I’ve played it twice, from beginning to end, and it’s freaking amazing!! Plus that soundtrack slaps.

kevinwardrop.bsky.social•97 days ago

yeah, it's good fun!

crazyjimbo.bsky.social•97 days ago

Guardians of the Galaxy was a super fun and awesome game with a cool story. Once again didn't get as much live thanks to Avengers game

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yeah I feel it got snubbed due to the reception of that game :(

crazyjimbo.bsky.social•97 days ago

That is really did, just a shame as it is miles better than Avengers. Really hope we can get a sequel to Guardians one day

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

And let’s talk about the cool 80’s soundtrack 🎶❤️😭🔥

crazyjimbo.bsky.social•97 days ago

OMG, the soundtrack and the huddles with the team and awesome combat

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I’m so glad I gave it a chance for all that alone!

thatssojosh.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oooo I have this one! It was phenomenal, but yeah I think people just 'expected' it to be bad after the avengers game, so it got slept on :(

lionheartwill.bsky.social•96 days ago

Guardians of the Galaxy is a great game, I loved it 👍

metalligamer.bsky.social•97 days ago

I agree, tbh I only played it bc it was added to game pass or ps+ at one point, and i was upset that i avoided it for so long, I think avengers left a sourn taste in a lot of people’s mouths so this game kinda caught the brunt of that mindset

therpgenius.bsky.social•97 days ago

One of the most underrated AAA games ever, one of my most controversial takes is that this the best marvel game out there (yes better than Spiderman and I love Spiderman)

dbishopofficial.bsky.social•97 days ago

I honestly expected to hate this game because it came out after Avengers & that even affected my experience with it to an extent, waiting for it to be bad for ages, but it never came. It really surprised me with just how good it was in all aspects

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

It was genuinely a good experience!

bortbarrett.bsky.social•97 days ago

One of my favourites! I smashed through this game and that’s unlike me. Helps I adore the films.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I also really like the films too! It was just a fun time!

markiegee55.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yesss! My brother loves that game!

nicogamesnow.bsky.social•96 days ago

I need to get back to this - the first couple hours were a blast!

kalenhale.bsky.social•97 days ago

I loved this game so much, although it had its flaws I admit. I really enjoyed it as a fan of the series. I just wish the space flight stuff wasn't so terrible on the controls

nighguy.bsky.social•97 days ago

Just a really fun ride start to end - really glad I finally played

clevers.bsky.social•97 days ago

This was seriously one of the best Marvel games! Super slept on for sure

astralmuffin516.bsky.social•97 days ago

Facts tho! The character writing is especially good.

thestevenm.bsky.social•97 days ago

mikestaub.bsky.social•97 days ago

One of the most underrated games in recent memory. I was playing this and during the first big boss fight, Call Me by Blondie hit the headphones... I had to pause, crank the volume, and then finish the fight. incredible. (my band also covered that song, so it's a special one)

koldsmoke.bsky.social•97 days ago

This game is grreeeaaatttt!

zaraki-son.bsky.social•97 days ago

I was shocked at how awesome this game was when I played thru it. All of it rocked, especially all the cameo characters!

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I was shocked at how good it was too after the whole Avenger’s thing!

koldsmoke.bsky.social•97 days ago

Avengers was ok but guardians made it up for it it's great writing of the characters and the soundtrack

zaraki-son.bsky.social•97 days ago

I did not even bother trying Avengers. I wasn’t happy that all you could play as was Starlord, but glad I took the chance bc that game is awesome!

boxenberger.bsky.social•97 days ago

Such an underrated game. It's fantastic

jaquaallday.bsky.social•97 days ago

Agreed. What a fantastic story!

kynkyn.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yes!! Extremely underrated!

demonicdonut.bsky.social•97 days ago

I picked this up for 15 bucks pretty soon after it came out. It's a great game and I really don't get why it wasn't a hit.

andyb1009.bsky.social•97 days ago

Such a fun game, really felt like a GotG game with comedy and team interactions.

I remember in a boss fight “I Need a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler started playing and that pumped me up. Such a great moment and memory.

jamieofvinheim.bsky.social•97 days ago

Will never forgive Square for purposely letting this game flop because of Marvel Avengers' failure.

tayymba.bsky.social•96 days ago

I remember playing this and experiencing haptic feedback for the first time! I was blown away 😍

dieal0t.bsky.social•96 days ago

Love this game!!

adeptus-criticus.bsky.social•97 days ago

Brilliant game and the soundtrack is excellent as well

gabbybabby.bsky.social•97 days ago

I was genuinely excited to get this when it first came out, and then it sort of slipped out of thought and I never got around to playing it 😅

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Definitely recommend 🔥

ormazd.bsky.social•97 days ago

The fact we're probably never seeing a sequel makes me so sad. I blame the lack on marketing, and that it came out near the same time as Marvel's Avengers.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

😭

finlopes.bgay.social•96 days ago

It says a lot about the industry when a AAA game with an established, super popular IP, that's by all accounts a decent game, has trouble standing out among the sheer volume of excellent games being released any year.

disembob.bsky.social•97 days ago

I had a great time with it!

ariansh99.bsky.social•97 days ago

Easily one of the best superhero games! I'm sad we might never get a sequel 😔

carlofrivia.bsky.social•97 days ago

Ugh I would love a sequel to this 😭

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Same 😭

mansoorlee.bsky.social•97 days ago

Thank you for reminding me
I just bought it for 4 dollars on steam
its a steal

jackmaus2.bsky.social•97 days ago

My kids even liked this, and didn't mind that they were "a little different" from the movies. I tell them it's because it's a mix of the movies and comics with this adaption, and the dev team really made it fun.

m3rkberserker.gamer.blue•97 days ago

This is one I’ve been meaning to play, glad it’s good!

plokool811.bsky.social•97 days ago

It’s fantastic. A friend recommended it to me, some time ago, and it really is brilliant.

texramone.bsky.social•97 days ago

Loved it

chandee.bsky.social•97 days ago

Didn't this get GOTY?

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Not GOTY but it won best narrative at the Game Awards.

jpaul13.bsky.social•96 days ago

I am so glad I took a chance on this game. It was fantastic from start to finish.

laurentn81.bsky.social•97 days ago

Too bad it was released after Avengers.

People became wary of Marvel video games because of that one. Same thing happened to Midnight Suns.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I agree. It’s really unfortunate because imo this was a gem. 💎

laurentn81.bsky.social•97 days ago

And ironically, GOTG and Midnight Suns were both my personal GOTY in 2021 and 2022 respectively.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

🔥🔥🔥🔥 I need to play Midnight Suns!

laurentn81.bsky.social•97 days ago

If you like RPGs with turn-based combat and social links between your avatar and their companions, it's right up your alley.

Btw, the digital+ edition is currently on sale on the PS Store.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I’ll have to check it out :)

hardcasual.bsky.social•97 days ago

Totally agree! This game rules! Looks gorgeous, plays nice

sungodryan.bsky.social•96 days ago

I championed this game HARD when it came out and I was able to convince a few people to give it a try and we all agree this game FREAKING ROCKS!!!

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•96 days ago

YES

chochopops.bsky.social•96 days ago

The writing was really peak 🔥

mightymog.bsky.social•96 days ago

I NEED TO PLAY THIS!!!👀👀

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•96 days ago

YESSSS

mightymog.bsky.social•96 days ago

It was the last "S" that sold me.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•96 days ago

😂🫶🏻

cloofinder.bsky.social•97 days ago

This turned out better than the Avengers game lol.

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Way better!

cloofinder.bsky.social•97 days ago

Better adaptation of Adam Warlock too!

jpiepiora.bsky.social•97 days ago

Some of the best banter in video games hands-down. The writers did an awesome job.

j-dudley.bsky.social•97 days ago

Right??!! Controlling the entire team at once was dynamic and way more fun than I expected. The music was great. Some creative biome and creature designs. But the fact that the story also went THAT hard?!
And yet it still didn’t sell well??!!

kefus.bsky.social•97 days ago

This was my GOTY in 2021!

liketobebossy.bsky.social•97 days ago

I knew nothing about marvel but this one was very enjoyable for me

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

So good!!!

xxpagzxx.bsky.social•97 days ago

This game was really fun and the team did a great job with the characters

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

I agree they hit the mark massively on the story and characters ❤️

pancaketime.bsky.social•97 days ago

I’ve never been happier to have my cynicism be proven wrong than when I played this. Thought the trailers looked awful, but when I gave it a chance on PS+ after hearing the praise for it I really enjoyed it

jazzlikestogame.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yeah it’s definitely a good time!
