I absolutely loved this game, and I plan on playing it again!
although this game was taken down, alongside other telltale games in the past, im very thankful to have owned it and played it, the guardians of the galaxy is the only marvel series I liked, anything else I never have had much enjoyment with
one thing I do remember about the game was the title screen, & the song "livin thing" it was so catchy and it was amazing!

Went in expecting Guardians humor and chaos, got a whole lot of that... and also a surprising amount of feels. The game does a great job balancing the laugh-out-loud moments with some unexpectedly emotional scenes that had me questioning my life choices. It's like watching a movie, but you get to mess up their lives in the process.

Stuttery mess, but in typical Telltale fashion, a pretty decent storyline.
I forgot how much I hate quick time events.
If you like Guardians of the Galaxy and can put up with the game's flaws, it's a decent time. If you don't care for Guardians of the Galaxy, or need a polished experience, you may want to skip.

Was mad about characters not looking anything like in the movies.

I don't know if this game will ever be available on Steam ever again, but I'll write this short review just the same. I feel fortunate that I acquired GOTG: Telltale Series when it was for sale several years ago.
I have read several reviews that said this was one of the weakest of the Telltale games and shortest. Since this is my first TellTale game, I can't really make any comparisons to others, but I did enjoy the way the game played and I didn't mind the length, which took my roughly 8 hours.
My review will focus on the subject itself, the Guardians of the Galaxy. I truly enjoyed it. I love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and in general. I felt the folks who wrote the story understood the characters well and really kept to the essence of the characters. It simultaneously felt like I was watching a fourth GOTG movie/adventure, but at the same time a unique set of characters and standalone story that clearly deviates from the MCU story.
It felt like a fourth movie in the sense that the voice actors TellTale games got for the Guardians were so similar to the voices of the actors who played them in the movies that there were times I honestly thought it had to be Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan and Bradly Cooper were reprising their roles. And also because the characters still acted the same. Angry Rocket, awkward Drax and Mantis, not serious Star Lord, Groot being...Groot.
It was also different, but honored the characters, in the sense that all of their backstories for the TellTale game were different from those used in the movies, but were in the same vein and had enough similarities to the movies to make it easy to slip into the changes and get quickly immersed into the story.
The plot was very enjoyable. Some good emotional moments: funny, sad and touching moments throughout. It even looks like there is replayability because during a couple of the intermissions between chapters, the game shows some statistics that suggest there are different outcomes to the story such as deaths or lost acquantances, etc.
Great use of music also in the vein of the movies.
If you love the Guardians of the Galaxy then it was a very worthwhile story to experience.

If like GoTG I think you'll enjoy this game.
Lasted about 10.5 hours, similar to other telltale games. Thought the humor was pretty on point for GoTG dialogue and liked the story that they had.
