“Charm” is one of those concepts that is sometimes more of a feeling than it is something you can teach and define. Guardians of The Galaxy Is Charming in a Way You Can’t Fake The sheer visual creativity on display in this game is matched only by the ways the developers managed to somehow tie all these truly unique worlds and concepts together. I wanted to lose myself in Guardians of the Galaxy‘s levels in a way that many modern open-world games strive for but few achieve. Alien worlds in this game feel truly alien in ways that even the grandest MCU films arguably can’t quite match. I honestly didn’t think another 2021 game would come close to besting Psychonauts 2 in terms of level design, but there’s a strong argument to be made that Guardians of the Galaxy does just that.įew major games in recent memory go to such incredible lengths to ensure that every single level and every new location not only feels distinct from everything else in the game but showcase a style that feels distinct from pretty much everything else out there. Guardians of the Galaxy’s Level Design Is Some of the Best in Years It shouldn’t be this remarkable that a major studio decided to make what some may describe as a “smaller” game, but given the state of the industry, Guardians of the Galaxy‘s simplicity truly is a breath of fresh air.
I don’t want to focus too much on the negatives while talking about Guardians of the Galaxy (at least not right now), but if we’re talking about why the game is such a surprise, we have to start with Marvel’s Avengers‘ botched debut. What is it about Square Enix’s latest Marvel game that makes it such a deviation from our pre-release expectations? Well, Guardians of the Galaxy‘s somewhat unconventional sleeper status really comes down to a few key factors… Expectations for Guardians of the Galaxy Were Low After Marvel’s Avengers
results, it has to be considered one of the most shocking video game experiences in quite some time. Well, Guardians of the Galaxy may be the opposite of that type of game in so many ways, but in terms of expectations vs. When we talk about surprising video games, we typically talk about indie titles that come out of nowhere and blow us all away. In a year that’s been partially defined by surprising video games and surprising video game news (both good and bad), it’s truly telling that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has to be the most surprising game of the year.
