I do not know if I am the only one in the same situation, but since the journey with Thanos ended I have the feeling that the new films of Marvel they have failed to get my attention.
A mixture of respect for going back to the movies on the one hand, and inconspicuous heroes on the other, I didn’t have much hope of take back the illusion for those stories. But thanks to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, that has completely changed.
During my game with Guardians of the Galaxy I could not help but have the feeling of being in front of my new favorite movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, despite being a big fan of the first film, what was delivered by Square Enix and Eidos Montreal seems to me to give him soups with slingshots.
A lesson in storytelling
While the movies seem to have led the way in a sense, and it is clear that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy He drinks a lot from that staging, the taste in his mouth with which I got to the credits was that of having witnessed the most logical leap for that same universe.
Much of the credit is in the way the game approaches its narrative. What of Eidos Montreal has been a superb job That, superhero tastes aside, I highly recommend that you try one day. Especially if you are interested in seeing what paths the future of videogames can take when it comes to storytelling.
And the most surprising of all is that it is simple like the mechanism of a jug. It all comes down to having enough lines of dialogue to occupy 99% of the game offering the feeling that the story is growing with every step, even when you get stuck wandering around or decide to turn back to try to explore.
Actually it is a bit what we have seen in other linear adventures of this style such as those of Uncharted
Much more than a good story
After that is the power to point to the greatest adventure possible without fear of the budget – well, more or less. I have lost count the number of times I have read that in such a film they wanted to put X character in but it did not fit due to time, money or fear that the public would feel overwhelmed by the new features introduced.
During the last hours a lot of characters from the universe of Guardians of the Galaxy that I did not know at all and, far from having to run to the internet to find out more about them and understand their role in history, the extent of the game and the way of narrating the events have managed to internalize them perfectly.
Three-quarters of the same has happened with the rhythm, which due to not having a stipulated logical limit can be lengthened without problems to curl the curl even more with each new turn. Beyond the hours, for all the characters that are introduced, all the locations that are visited and all the plots that are opened and closed, this could have been perfectly four full movies with its introduction, its middle and its denouement.
Then there is the obvious, which is the interaction, but even if that were limited to a simple interactive movie, the one with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy It would already be much better than any other story I have seen on screen – my house – in the last few months. The time has come to pass the baton.
