Finished it today, story wise I really enjoyed it, gameplay wise I think they were on the cusp of something great but fell short just a tad. Still very good, though. Would have liked to have more perks and customization options. As it is roughly about halfway or 3/4 through the game you will have unlocked everything and combat becomes more about knowing when to manage your teammate’s skills as Peter himself is relatively weak. I liked that the dialogue choices had impact on gameplay (making a boss fight easier or harder, opening one path versus another) but ultimately has very little narrative consequences. I think, should SE and the Eidos team get another crack at a single player Marvel game they will knock it out of the park—as far as this goes, it plateaus at “very good”. Still very fun though. Recommend to play.
Encore Edition Coming to Switch 2 November 5, 2026
Back for an encore! Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition releases exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026, with an all-new set of glam rock outfits for the Guardians. In this action-adventure game, you are Star-Lord leading the unpredictable Guardians from one explosion of chaos to the next. You got this. Probably.
Optimized for Switch 2, the Encore Edition will feature two settings for TV mode: Quality, targeting 30 fps at 1440p, and Performance, targeting 40 fps at 1080p. In Handheld mode, the game targets 30 fps for a smooth experience on the go.
It's too bad Avengers bombed so badly and this caught fallout from it. I really thought this game was well done and gave unique uses to all of the characters. Storyline was pretty good too.
