It’s up to them to try and stop this threat to the universe – it’s right there in the team name, after all. As the team rush to earn enough credits to pay the bill before their ship is disabled, they soon find themselves embroiled in a greater conflict that threatens to destroy the entire galaxy. Things of course don’t go to plan and the Guardians soon find themselves in trouble with the Nova Corps, space cops who slap the team with a hefty fine and a tiny deadline for breaching the Quarantine Zone. While the Guardians did participate in the resistance efforts - including Gamora’s defection to the good guys - they’re still trying to make a name for themselves.Ĭapturing a dangerous space-beast to sell to Lady Hellbender, the Monster Queen, seems as good a way to get some street cred as any. We’re introduced to the team shortly after Gamora joins the crew as they embark on a mission to capture a mysterious beast in the Quarantine Zone, a dumping ground for spaceship debris after the great Galactic War with Thanos and the Chitauri armies. While Guardians does draw some general inspiration from the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the crew – Drax is very literal, Star-Lord loves his cassette player, the Milano looks like a sleek space-bird – the game very much establishes its own iterations. Last year’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales took advantage of the PS5’s power to make an even more gorgeous addition to the world set up by the 2018 title, and now Eidos Montreal has brought the newest title in the Marvel Gaming Universe to life with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
While 2018’s Spider-Man set a new bar for superhero titles with its gorgeous web-swinging and compelling take on the hero, Marvel’s Avengers missed the mark somewhat with a lumpy games-as-service model that didn’t resonate with or retain its fans our own Steve Wright called it ‘two games in one’ where only the single-player campaign side was enjoyable to play. Games in the Marvel Universe have had an up-and-down journey over the past few years.
