And this is one of the things that I admire most about Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. But at the same time, I miss the days of being able to jump in, crank through a 10-hour adventure over the course of a long weekend, and roll credits feeling like I’ve experienced a majority of what the game had to show me. Whether you’re pillaging your way through Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or saving New York City in Insomniac’s Spider-Man, it feels like a good chunk of time in modern games is spent tabbing through a never-ending Cheesecake Factory menu of options.Īnd that’s okay! I love a lot of those games, they tend to provide a lot more hours-per-dollar-spent, and I totally understand if that’s an important factor for many folks. This modern glut of skills, abilities, stats, cosmetics, side-quests, and various ways to grow your character that were once reserved for only the most hardcore of RPGs are now commonplace in nearly every type of action adventure game. I’m not trying to point fingers at who’s responsible for making so many modern AAA games gravitate towards elements of sprawling open-world action-RPGs, because frankly, I don’t think I have enough fingers to go around.
In fact, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy feels like a relic of a bygone era that I actually kind of miss - namely, the single-player adventures that seemed plentiful on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. But lo and behold, Eidos-Montreal’s take on the now-iconic intergalactic heroes is actually pretty damn great thanks to its fantastic writing, strong sense of adventure, and roller coaster momentum. After a fairly lukewarm reveal during E3, it felt like the game was released to little hype, fanfare, and backing from Square Enix.
