I don't know where to begin. This game should have been $100, it's so good.
So much passion into this game, so much attention to detail, the conversations between everybody as ambiance in the Milano is fantastic, most other games only have 5-6 lines that repeat and you have to progress the game for new conversations and what not, while in this game, it's just endless, and some of it is reactive to what you're doing as well, like for example the broken refrigerator door, I spent all game closing it only for it to pop open again, until later on in the game, gamora noticed I had closed it and said something about then again later mantis noticed said something about it too and it made me chuckle. The conversations are fluid and natural and it feels like environment is alive, even on mission, conversations are unique and again endless. It's fantastic, the voice acting and dialog in this is superb.
The game design and art is phenomenal, so many environments, so many places, all of it packed with detail. Knowhere is fantastic, it was so fun to roam around and listen to gamora and drax talk about it and all the vendors and even the con-artist street games just pure awesome. There so much content in this game, It's hard to take it all in, it's so overwhelming. Hands down if you need to escape your real life for few hours, this is it!
The combat is pretty good, it's not centered around you to fight everything but to make you actually lead the team by instructing them what to do via their abilities and Star-lord's Spartoi quad blaster which has elemental abilities and having to combo them. Even melee have cool finisher combos when working with your fellow Guardians, I even laughed hard when I jet boot drop-kicked a nova corp only for drax to come in and elbow drop on top of him like we're in wrestling, it was great or when gamora comes in high and stakes your enemy after you sucker punched him, feels good man.
Overall this game is super under-rated and definitely worth the $60 price tag. I would recommend playing even if you never read the comics or saw the movies, this game kind of takes place in it's own alternative timeline. My suggestion is don't rush through it, actually listen to what's being said and enjoy it.
Also <3 Mantis, she's great!
