Gaming News This video game is free, rated 16/20 and one of the best Marvel adaptations, don’t miss it!
Did you think Christmas was over? Not for the Epic Games Store! In keeping with its daily gifts, today the online store offers you the opportunity to get your hands on one of the best Marvel adaptations. Be quick!
One of the best Marvel adaptations completely free!
After appearing on both the big and small screen for many years, Marvel is finally trying to conquer the hearts of gamers. If their Marvel’s Avengers project was a little too sold on a dream and ended up sinking into a very sad story, this is far from the case with the other adaptations of recent years. We are of course thinking of Marvel’s Spider-Man, its sequel and its spin-off, but also of somewhat less ambitious but still very successful projects such as Marvel’s Midnight Suns or Marvel Snap. Among these projects of undeniable quality, you may have missed one of Marvel’s best video game adaptations: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
If this is you, it’s your lucky day! After several weeks of offering daily games (including just yesterday the excellent A Plague Tale Innocence), Epic Games Store now offers you Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy! The latest gift from their large community, this game, rated 16/20 in our columns, will be available for free in the online store until January 11, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. (There was an error in the tweet above, the correct date can be checked directly on your website). You therefore have at least a week to get your contributions back before the offer ends. Please note that once you have Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy in your library, you will keep it for life.
A game that was forgotten a little too quickly
If you skipped this adaptation when it released in October 2021, it would be a mistake to pass up this offer. Even if objectively speaking it’s not as good as, for example, Insomniac’s “Spider-Man”, It is undoubtedly one of the best Marvel video game adaptations. If it doesn’t really shine through its somewhat repetitive gameplay and the fairly linear structure of its levels, The real strength of Eidos Montreal and Square Enix’s game lies in its storytelling. It has to be said that the characters and dialogue are so well written and acted that you could almost forget the team from the MCU films.
It is not necessary to have followed the stories of Peter Quill and his gang in Marvel films and series to understand the video game, as it is not part of the same universe. In this action-adventure game you take direct control Starlord (and give orders to the rest of the Guardians during battle) as they attempt to capture a dangerous creature Lady Hellbender. However, you will quickly notice that the story will take a completely different turn, which we don’t want to reveal to you here, but which does justice to this legendary troupe. As a reminder, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy won Best Storytelling at the 2021 Game Awards against Deathloop, It Takes Two, Life is Strange: True Colors and Psychonauts 2. A well-deserved reward, and this is a die-hard Life is Strange fan telling you so.
