Play as Star-Lord, leader of a newly formed band of misfits whose botched scheme draws them into a crisis threatening the galaxy. The single-player story follows the team as they travel between alien worlds and navigate their disagreements.
Fight in third-person as Star-Lord, using blasters, jet boots, and close-range attacks while issuing commands for each Guardian to use their distinct abilities. Build up team attacks and call a Huddle during combat to rally the group.
Explore mostly linear environments, use elemental blaster modes and Guardian abilities to get past obstacles, and search for hidden paths, collectibles, outfits, and upgrade materials. Dialogue choices can affect some events, while upgrades unlock additional abilities for Star-Lord and the team.
In the supplied reviews, players often praise the character writing and the Guardians’ constant banter, which they say brings humor and emotional weight to the story. The 70s- and 80s-style music and colorful alien settings also receive recurring appreciation, as does directing the team in combat. Some reviewers find the combat repetitive or shallow, and others report bugs or dialogue interruptions.
