    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy offers an excellent linear single player experience. With a great artistic design, a fun combat system and an outstanding script, this new title by Eidos Montreal will greatly satisfy any fan of narrative-focused games. Yes, some aspects like its animations are not up to par, but it doesn't impact its final result. We had a huge smile all the way through this fun game, enjoying its dialogues, its combat and sinking in its marvelous setting. And that's the most important thing to us.

    Even with its faults that can easily be patched up, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is an absolute love letter to the property and one that any fan should be excited to play. Yes, the gameplay is excellent, but for this game, it's all about the characters. It's about small moments, big moments, and everything in between.

    Eidos Montreal has set new standards for the gaming industry when it comes to the design and script of companions in video games. While the gameplay is “simply ok”, the love and care that was given in the creation of this world, its wonderful soundtrack, its intricate accessibility settings, its lovely storyline and its simply amazing companions and their constant banter, make Guardians of the Galaxy an absolute must play for any gamer.

    While it has one or two irksome flaws, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is, nonetheless, a fine solo experience, with characters that you'll enjoy spending time with, fast-paced combat, and an engaging original story.

    With its exciting story and characters, the next-gen worthy visuals and especially the great sense of humor we can warmly recommend Eidos Montreal's Guardians of the Galaxy not just for fans of the franchise. Just the fights are a little bit too chaotic for getting a strong feeling of control on the battlefields in sum.

    By dodging the eager game-as-service guff, Guardians of the Galaxy can focus on being something more compelling - even if you won’t play it for as long. For its ten-plus hour runtime, you’ll enjoy a thrilling, gripping, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt adventure. The game built around that narrative framework isn’t earth shattering - but it is enough scaffolding to allow the story to shine. You have to understand what Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is going into - but if you do, one of the finest narrative games of the year awaits. Switch your brain off, give yourself over to its story, and you’ll find much to enjoy.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was a surprising experience. Though the game still has some bugs, and a few undesirable features, it comes packed with in-depth characters and an extensive storyline. If you have time to go for a very long virtual walk, this might be the game for you.

    Story is awesome, graphics is top notch, gameplay is really fun. Marvel's Avengers should have been something like this.

Si le gameplay ne révolutionne rien, il en reste agréable mais c'est surtout la narration, les personnages ainsi que l'humour qui font tâche. Quel travail, l'aventure de nos gourdins de la galaxie est tellement plaisant à suivre que je n'ai pas vu mes 20 heures de jeu passer. Je croise les doigts pour qu'il y ait une suite. Bravo aux développeurs !… Expand

    J'ai beaucoup aimé le titre malgré quelques défauts. Une très bonne surprise.

    Ses qualités:
    - visuellement très bon
    - bande son des années 80/90 que j'adore
    - l'humour et l'esprit des comics / films respectés
    - doublage français excellent
    - bonne durée de vie
    - replay value: les choix que nous prenons auront une incidence sur la façon de faire les niveaux, le combat final, ou des scènes supplémentaires + objets à découvrir (les costumes pour chaque personnage sont bien cachés)
    - très bonne mise en scène et scénario travaillé

    Ses défauts:
    - pas mal de bugs (perso bloqué dans des décors, bande son qui déconne, ...)
    - synchro labiale aux fraises
    - peu de combats spatiaux, et ceux existants sont courts et bof
    - j'aurais aimé plus de libertés (choix des destinations, planètes, ...)

    Pour ceux qui aiment ces personnages Marvel, je vous le conseille, il est vraiment bon. A jouer en mode Qualité 4k sur Series X. Mention spéciale avec l'utilisation du Dolby Vision pour ce jeu (pour ceux qui ont une tv compatible)    … Expand
