One of the best ways to jump into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is by actually participating in it yourself. Watching the films and reading the comics will definitely let you understand that story, but what do you do with the overwhelming feeling of wishing you too could be an Avenger after walking out of the cinema?

Luckily, there are plenty of gaming systems out there that will give Marvel fans the chance to play as their favorite character and follow through a storyline where they too can save the world from apparent doom. The most recent game to drop is Guardians of the Galaxy. Although the game officially releases tomorrow, it seems that others already have their hands on it and cannot stop playing.
The game’s plot allows players to interact as Star-Lord in an all-new storyline, so you never know what to expect.
You are Star-Lord, so nothing’s off-limits with your bold combat style, from Element Blasters and jet boot-powered dropkicks to tag-team beat-downs. With the Guardians fighting at your side, call the shots and overwhelm your opponents with signature attacks. Meanwhile, the consequences of your decisions will range from light-hearted to downright unexpected as your journey unfolds.

Jeff Grubb (@JeffGrubb) is a big fan of the new game:
I’ve been playing Guardians of the Galaxy, and it’s just a real solid game. A slightly greater than the sum of its parts situation because the characters and writing start clicking. It also does look and run great with RTX and DLSS on PC.
