What Should I Play Now?

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

Image: Steam / its publisher

  • Action
  • Story-driven
  • Superheroes

Linear third-person action adventure: you play Star-Lord, firing elemental blasters and giving orders to Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot in combat. Between fights the crew never stops talking, and how you respond changes your relationships.

Why play it now

When you fancy a 15-20 hour adventure split into 16 chapters, packed with dialogue and humour.

Who it's for

For players who care more about characters, humour and a soundtrack of 80s hits than about deep combat.

When not to pick it

If you want deep combat: reviews call it simple and chaotic, and the puzzles repetitive.

What it offers

  • Story: 90 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 75 out of 100
  • Exploring: 40 out of 100
  • Thinking: 30 out of 100
