๐๐ธ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy – PC Game Review (Played on RTX 3050 + i5 13th Gen)
๐ Overview
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, developed by Eidos-Montrรฉal, is a story-driven, third-person action-adventure featuring the iconic space misfit team. Unlike the MCU versions, this game brings its own fresh take on Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Drax, and Groot. You play solely as Peter Quill (Star-Lord), leading the Guardians through a galaxy-spanning, humorous, and emotional narrative.
