This is an old-school single-player game with some new-school twists, making it an odd delight in the age of live-service games and other completely overly complicated franchise junk. A Guardians of the Galaxy third-person shooter might seem like an odd fit, but after playing through the game ourselves, we’re pretty dang impressed.
Guardians of the Galaxy is the new MCU-adjacent game made by the master developers at Eidos Interactive, creators of Rise of the Tomb Raider and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Even if you’re not hunting achievements / trophies, this is a fun way to squeeze even more amusing interactions out of these characters. You can talk to them all about the stuff you find. They’re often hidden away in alcoves you won’t normally look, and finding them increases your partnership with your crew - seriously, finding items unlocks bonus conversations when you’re on your ship between big missions. Unlike the many, many text notes scattered across each chapter, the Guardian Items can be pretty tricky to find. Learn more about the galaxy and your fellow guardians with the Guardian Collectibles (or Items) in Guardians of the Galaxy.
