Honestly having a blast with this. Chapter 8 was great. Character design has been done so well. Combines an enjoyable story with some really fun gameplay. Would highly recommend for those who haven’t yet tried it.
Gaming Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5/Inferior Consoles) | On PlayStation Plus Extra and Game Pass

Is it good in a 'we've not had many good games this year' type of way, particularly 3rd person action adventure which are usually really common. Or is it, good in a 'no its actually really good', way?
Was really surprised by the positive reception this got.

My GOTY. One of the best gaming experiences in a long while.
Also, the Guardians are fantastically portrayed. Dare I say even better than the films?

Getting this for Xmas.
Considering it's relatively short I plan to finish it next week while I'm off work.
Have to say I expected it to be shit, but it's getting constant praise from everywhere. Also helps that those environments look

I would definitely say the latter. I really didn’t expect much from it but I find the battle system so much fun and it has a genuinely interesting story to go with it. And as @DatIrishFella says, the characters have been done so well.
@Solius you’re always complaining you have nothing to play.
Thread titleThread title 
I wish you had made such a compelling case back when it was on sale for 28 quid
Thread title suggests its a PS5 exclusive but I thought it was multi-plat?
I’ll get it when it’s on PlayStation Plus in May.
This why we cant have nice things
On sale for 38 now until Jan.
Best game I've played this year. And the most fun game I've played since Telltale Borderlands game. I'm still shocked it didn't suck. So many cameos that were a surprised.
Great story, poor gameplay IMO. Bought it for $20 and worth it for that, not more. The dialogue is fantastic
It’s back down to £38.99 on PS Store.
Why the title change? Preferred the old one
How long is it Elvis?

Tempting! Thanks for letting me know.
I wouldn’t say it’s short, I’m upto Chapter 9 now and I’d say I’ve been playing around 10 hours if not more? There are 16 chapters in total, so you’re probably looking at around 15/20 hours.Why the title change? Preferred the old one

I found medium difficulty a bit too easy so upped it to hard - gives it an added challenge.

Wrapped up for xmas. Looking forward to it.
Wait did you buy it for yourself and then wrap it?
I didn't. The missus asked me what I wanted and I said this.What if she has bought you the film?
Stupid thread title.
Damn Ponies.
Damn Ponies.
Played it a few weeks ago. Had a lot of fun with it. Miles better than that Avengers game they released.
How do you know that?
It's a rough guess.
This is really good.
Reminds me of Uncharted with its large set piece moments.
The fight mechanics are actually really good, and the game is genuinely funny.
I also love the fact you can make the characters looks like the film version of themselves rather the poundshop version.

I know @Damien appreciates a platinum screenshot.
Overall an impressive game, really enjoyed it. I do think the battle system, whilst fun to start with, doesn’t really develop as much as I’d have liked as you progress with the game. That was disappointing in all honesty, and the ‘perks’ you can get are all pretty ‘meh’. A really good story though and a great cast of characters who are portrayed really well. A fun game all in all.

I am going to get this on the back of your recommendation.I know @Damien appreciates a platinum screenshot.

Congrats
How many hours did it take you to finish?I know @Damien appreciates a platinum screenshot.

Really tempted to get this but I burnt out on marvel/dc stuff years ago. Linear levels, combat which boils down to hold left trigger to aim and right trigger to fire with the occassional dodge button thrown in doesn't sound particularly appealing. Would make for a perfect gamepass/ps now game.
Does look cool though and everybody I know who has played it says they had good fun with it. Just an easy play which I definitely prefer than something with more challenge right now.
Shows my play time as 21 hours.
The game is linear and battling with Quill is pretty much a left to aim right to shoot sort of style, though you do have your other Guardians whom you need to command depending on the fight, so there’s a bit more to it.
I’m the opposite now, trying to find a game which will give me a challenge. Though I fancy something similar to Resident Evil (they need to hurry up with the Dead Space remake!).
21 hours is decent enough for a game like this. Might even be a bit long to be honest. Good to know, ta.
Hmm, Deathloop or Hitman 3 maybe? Not Res Evil like of course but potential for a challenge.
It’s the sort of game I want to play but it also feels it’s inevitable it’ll be on game pass within a year so what’s the point. Stupid game pass.
This!
