Having said all that, I’m somewhat disappointed with it I wasn’t wowed or hooked with the story like I was with Telltale’s Batman, Game of Thrones, or Back to the Future (my top 3 Telltale games). The story seems to be off to a good start, but it’s tough to know for sure since this is just 1/5 of the actual game. The voice acting is all pretty good, and most even sound like their movie counterparts (which I think was deliberate), but again Starlord is missing the Chris Pratt vibe, despite the dialogue seemingly written based on Pratt’s movie interpretation of the character. Lastly, Gamora is the worst of the bunch, I don’t care for the rings around her eyes like a green raccoon and she just seems out of place when she’s on screen with the rest of the team. While Starlord isn’t terrible, I think I just expected it to resemble Chris Pratt a bit more (even though the game has nothing to do with the movies). The character models are hit and miss personally, I like the design choices for Drax, Rocket and Groot. This is all within the first 15 or so minutes, so I didn’t spoil any major happenings. The Guardians kickstart the adventure on the hunt for Thanos, and rather than have long drawn out waiting for Thanos to appear (cough MCU cough), we track him down almost immediately and we’re off to the races. Expect minor spoilers in this review, because there isn’t a whole lot to talk about gameplay wise, since all the Telltale games play nearly identically. While the game and soundtrack are clearly inspired by the mega hit movie, it doesn’t follow the story directly, nor is it an origin story. Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy, like Batman, goes its own way (deliberate music pun). The team dynamic lends itself well to this game style and coming off Telltale’s Batman game, it was quite refreshing. Guardians of the Galaxy is the new hot Marvel commodity, they also have never based a game off the team. Guardians of the Galaxy was an unusual pick, I originally thought, but after playing the first episode, I kind of get it. When the partnership with Marvel was first announced, I expected it to be a large Marvel universe story arc or a Spider-Man story.
Starting with the Walking Dead, followed by Batman and now its first Marvel Comics entry Guardians of the Galaxy. Telltale has completed a comic book trifecta.
