The big, knock-down, drag-out showdown with one of Marvel’s most iconic supervillains early in the episode is a major highlight. And then there are the extended quick-time events which, while they don’t involve any twists beyond hitting buttons really quickly at the right time, are some of the best Telltale has put together, presentation-wise.
There are quippy, well-paced conversations with timed dialogue that affect various characters’ impressions of you. There are semi-tedious detective segments where you wander around looking for the right thing to click on that make me long for the more difficult, puzzle-focused challenges of adventure games past. The big, knock-down, drag-out showdown early in the episode is a major highlight.Guardians’ gameplay doesn’t stray too far outside the Telltale formula we’ve come to expect, with only minor but welcome additions like Peter’s rocket boots allowing vertical exploration in some areas. Scott Porter’s version of Peter Quill/Star-Lord, the primary hero, is a little lighter on the quippy delivery than Chris Pratt but brings a relatable, emotional depth to the character that fills in the gaps. It's a spot-on replication of Bradley Cooper’s endearing and memorable performance from the film. Despite North’s voice being heard in just about every video game ever, he turns it into something so energetic and over the top here that I wouldn’t have known it was him if I hadn’t been told ahead of time. The voice acting is applause-worthy, especially Nolan North as Rocket.
