What does a game about a kidnapped Terran space-bonding with his newly-assembled merc squad have in common with Nathan Drake? Play both franchises back to back and see. Published by Square Enix and developed by Eidos-Montréal, it grabs your attention early with an unexpected intro that firmly frames Peter Quill as a rockin’ space-child of the 1980s, and the story almost never lets off the gas - or the volume knob - from the moment you embark on your first mission. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy arrives today for both consoles and PC, and like Nathan Drake’s adventures before it, it’s a cinematic, set piece-intensive story showcase that somehow manages to make you (mostly) forget about these guy’s famous MCU counterparts and completely buy in to their reimagined new tale. with a good friend or two at your side, of course. Once you’re aboard this gang’s Milano, you’ll be off on a journey that’s all about taking in a rompin’ good story while intermittently fighting for your life. After all, Uncharted paved the way for games like Guardians to evolve its awesome mix of storytelling and action.


It probably makes sense that the video game version of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy reminds us of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series.
