When I found out Square Enix was making a game, though, I was reserved.

I still dont want to come up for air.

But it doesnt stop there.

Throughout the game, you take on the role of Peter Quill, the Guardians not-so-fearless leader.

Another concern I had going intoGuardianswas a reliance on “games-as-a-service” features like daily/weekly challenges and microtransactions.

While Im overjoyed with how much Im enjoyingGuardians, it isnt quite perfect.

Youll work closely with your other teammates, blending combo attacks and the like together to take down enemies.

The game more than makes up for these problems with the sheer beauty of how it delivers everything else.

There isnt a moment that the Guardians arent talking to each other.

The writing is amusing and enjoyable and it never grows old hearing Drax or Gamora going back and forth.

Marvels Guardians of the Galaxyis yet another prime example that great single-player campaigns arent dead and gone.

We dont need multiplayer to make a game great.
