The right time to discover or rediscover Guardians of the Galaxy on console, it’s now. The signed game Eidos Montrealedited by Square Enixis the subject of an exceptional promotion on the PlayStation Storewith a reduction of 85% valid until Thursday November 6. Concretely, you can get it for only €8.99. A hard deal to ignore for such a neat title.
An underrated but very successful Marvel game
Released in 2021, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy may not have unleashed the crowds like some blockbusters, but those who have immersed themselves in it know what they have in their hands. The universe is faithful to the Marvel spirit, but without relying on the films: the characters have their own identity, and the dialogues are overflowing with humor.
The game has an average rating of 80/100 on Metacriticbut as journalist Zarmena Khan points out, “Gamers have long argued that its 80/100 average rating on Metacritic doesn’t do it justice.” She even adds: “This is one of the few Square Enix games I’ve really enjoyed in recent years.” A feeling shared by a large part of the community.
Dynamic combat and solid storytelling
Without being revolutionary, the gameplay of Guardians of the Galaxy seduced by its fluidity. We control Peter Quill but we also give orders to the other members of the team in a rather well thought out real-time combat system. The story holds up, and the whole thing is very well paced. For Zarmena Khan, “the gameplay is excellent, the story is decent and the combat is very well done.”
As a bonus, PS4 players who have not yet made the jump to PS5 can rest assured: “if they upgrade their hardware in the future, they will be entitled to a PS5 copy of Guardians of the Galaxy at no additional cost.”
Should you buy it now or wait?
The game is part of the PS Plus Extra catalog, but there is no guarantee that it will stay there for long. If you’re a subscriber but don’t have enough time to play it right now, it might be a good idea to take advantage of it at a discount and add it to your library permanently. THE €8.99 remains modest for a complete adventure game, which lasts around fifteen hours with a real concern for staging.
