The game’s cast does a solid job of voicing the Guardians of the Galaxy, though the script they’re working with needs to ramp up in upcoming episodes to serve the level of talent gathered for the game. Though, you will find good does outweigh the bad especially being very early in the series. It doesn’t set up its long game until the final five minutes of Peter and Youndu. As far as engagement, the game simply peaks much too early and the remainder feels as though it’s simply telling you to sit there and be quiet.

It’s very much a roller coaster that shoots you out at 100mph but when the ride comes to a stop you’re forced to sit in the car for 10minutes before the harness lifts. Where GOTG: The Telltale Series opening stumbles is in its pacing. The subplot evoking emotions about his lost mother and its turn are written damn near perfectly.

It’s clear that while all the GOTG will get moments, Star-Lord is the focus of this tale. Peter Quill’s journey feels moving and authentic to the story. Quip laced humor, along with a fantastic music selection (It’s got the freakin BUZZCOCKS in it!) set the atmosphere anyone introduced to Guardians through the film will instantly recognize. Where the Walking Dead games relied on suspense horror, Batman excellent mystery, Guardians is a story loaded with twists and turns adventure revolving around spot on renditions of these characters. In traditional Telltale fashion, the end is merely the beginning of a larger mystery involving the Kree, Peter Quill, and the artifact Thanos attempted to steal. The game feels like it almost ends in the first 30 minutes after the battle with the team’s arch nemesis. The already formed and functional Guardians of the Galaxy are called upon by the space NARC Nova Corps to aid in stopping the mad titan Thanos from stealing the powerful Eternity relic. One, you never hear the song, two, the only comparable hue is the pruney purple of Thanos chin. You may even be better for it.Įpisode 1: “Tangled Up in Blue”, first of all is a strange title until the very end of the game. Think of the game as a hybrid of the two worlds and you won’t stress out too much.

While characters like Drax, Yondu, and Rocket lean more towards the James Gunn film, the rest of the cast including Thanos take more influence from modern Marvel comics. This version of Guardians doesn’t seem to be directly ripped from film or comics. Platform: PlayStation 4 (Also available: Xbox One, STEAM PC, iOS, Android)
