The cool thing to me about the game is that you dictate certain dialogue options and advantages in combat.
The medium difficulty, however, is a sweet spot of some challenge without the threat of throwing your controller against the wall. Enemies on the highest difficulty really pose a challenge. The gang holds their own in terms of AI, and telling them when to make an impact with their skill moves is satisfying when done correctly. However, you do control them on the battlefield in combat. Playing solely as Star-Lord, you don’t get a run with every character. Every moment you share with Drax, Gamora, Groot, and Rocket feels spot-on. On the one hand, I feel like Guardians feature a much better grasp of the characters central to the story. The linear experience of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy works much better for me than that of Marvel’s Avengers. That said, let’s talk about my impressions of the game. Luckily, the story doesn’t play out like those comics exactly, so there are no spoilers if you want them as a point of reference for the non-MCU versions of these characters. Among the story elements utilized for the game include Annihilation: Prologue (2006), Annihilation (2006), and the 25-issue run of Guardians of the Galaxy from 2008-2010.
Fans of the comics will recognize elements from some of the gang’s most iconic runs. While I appreciate the MCU, it’s refreshing to see the Guardians of the Galaxy in a new way this time around. If Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order is the Dark Souls version of a third-person action-adventure, then this is like the tactical twist to the AAA action experience.
