Besides the standard movement controls and world interactions, you have a double jump ability where your jet boots propel you into the air for a few extra seconds. In this game, you solely take control of Star-Lord, the team leader of the Guardians. And what aids it is the high-octane gameplay. From here, the story gets quite intense, fast-paced, and somewhat emotional, with plenty of twists that you’d never expect. But as luck would have it, the plan fails and in a fit of rage, she hires the Lethal Legion to chase after them and turn their lives into living hell. Being completely broke, the Guardians then attempt to scam Lady Hellbender. Peter, who seems to have some kind of “history” with her, manages to strike a deal to pay a huge fine in a time limit of three cycles.
Things go awry and they are arrested by the Nova Corps, under the guidance of Ko-Rel.

The characters in this game are not directly derived from the MCU movies or the comics. Some of which are cringy, while others work just fine. There is a LOT of dialogue, jokes, and neverending banter between the characters. Star-Lord is annoying as ever, Gamora is ruthless, Drax is meat-headed, Rocket won’t shut up, and Groot is Groot. Despite that, it still manages to play into that vibrant tone and capture the quirkiness that James Gunn brought to the screen. Instead, the developers have taken elements from both source materials and created their own touched-up versions.
The game kind of assumes that you have a vague idea of who these characters are beforehand, instead of forcing exposition down our throats. The way these introductions work is subtle and are only triggered when we choose to interact with them. Walking around the ship, we are introduced to our rag-tag team of intergalactic outlaws aka the Guardians – Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Racoon, and Groot.

Our story begins with a flashback sequence at the Meredith Quill residence, where our mulleted protagonist, Peter, prepares to celebrate his thirteenth birthday.
