This game was a big surprise for me, really wasn't expecting it to be that good...

I always liked Guardians of The Galaxy since I watched the first movie in the cinemas back in 2014 when I was a kid. But when I heard about this game my expectations were really low because of the previous Marvel game of the same developer that came before (Avengers) and it was really bad.

But I decided to give it a try when I found out it was fully single-player and story focused and thank god I was wrong about this game, it's really better than I could've ever expected.

First of all, the story is really good, it has a perfect mix of fun and emotion, you can really laugh at some parts and get emotional at others, it's really well written, and much better than I expected, the character development is masterfully done, every single character has a deep and unique personality, and I really cared for every single one of them.
Also, the dialogue options affects a lot of things throughout the story and really helps with the immersion.

Talking about the soundtrack, for me this game has definitely one of the best OST I've ever heard in a game.
It's basically divided in 3, the copyrighted various artists songs, the Star-Lord band with and album exclusively made for the game, and the original OST orchestra, with epic and emotional songs.
Square Enix always rocks with their soundtracks, NieR Automata and Final Fantasy VII for example has some of the best soundtracks out there and this game is no different.

The gameplay is fun and it has a good progression and mechanics based on the abilities of the other 4 members of the Guardians and the 4 elements of Star Lord's weapons, giving an interesting variety of combat options to the game.

With that being said, "Gardeners" of The Galaxy game is a fun and emotional experience that will stick with me for a long time and I would recommend this game for anyone.
