Many great games were released this year, and I’ve had a blast with most of them, but there have been a few standouts for multiple different reasons. Throughout the year, I’ve made good use of all my consoles, including my Nintendo Switch, and I’ve played more than my fair share of mobile titles too, yet, none surprised me quite as much as Guardians of the Galaxy.
More specifically, the Guardians of the Galaxy narrative stood out to me in the best possible way. Sure, other games such as Life is Strange saw release this year, but I went into that game knowing I would be blown away by the story. However, I wasn’t expecting to go through the motions with Guardians of the Galaxy. I laughed, I nearly cried, and I had a blast. But why exactly was I so surprised by the story?
Well, there are a few things that I wasn’t expecting. I’m a huge Marvel fan, especially of Star-Lord and co, so I was more than prepared to go into this and be disappointed, especially after The Avengers release last year. The characters needed to be perfect. At this point, we all know what to expect from Peter Quill, Gamora, Rocket, Drax, and Groot. They’re one big dysfunctional family, which Eidos-Montreal captured beautifully in this game.
