Story - 10/10.
Without a doubt the strongest part of this game, it takes the time to connect you with all the characters and make you really care about their stories and the role they play in the grand adventure. Stuffed full of the signature Guardians banter executed expertly every time, you'll be laughing and crying plenty as you make your way across the Andromeda galaxy (and even save it, as Guardians do.)
Combat - 6/10
Probably the game's weakest link, but by no means boring or terrible. It's nothing special, but it works, feels satisfying and never gets boring. While you are restricted to only playing as Peter, you command the other Guardian's abilities in combat and synergize to create epic finishers.
Exploration - 8/10
While Guardians is by no means an open world game, there's plenty of side paths and hidden secrets to find in every level including cosmetics, which all look pretty great! The movement can feel a little "off" every now and then, but exploring the galaxy is a ton of fun.
