Plot: After an epic conflict known as the Galactic War swept through the cosmos. Star Lord recently formed the Guardians of the Galaxy, they’ve been together for less than a year.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Game was great.
Pros: Square Enix worked successfully making a game with the same upbeat spirit & energy as the two movies. I liked that they made the game more like a family drama right in the middle of this galactic Adventure. The main heroes remain the same. Mantis was more helpful. A lot of surprises that I didn’t see coming. Every level’s designs are breathtaking, and you get to shoot all the time in this game.
Cons: Sometimes certain areas were difficult to upgrade to your abilities. The side villains failed to impress me and I wish it had a switch option so you can play as the other members of the guardians but it doesn’t.
