We close the books on Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy as the full season is released. Other players may feel differently, but for us, it meant we didn’t feel the same sort of expressive freedom we normally would. He didn’t feel like a character made of clay for us to mould as we saw fit, and so some of the choices just felt out of character. We can’t quite divorce him from Chris Pratt’s likeable rendition and so we tended to always pick the cheesiest lines. Guardians of the Galaxy felt like a great fit for Telltale Games, but we found one issue with it and that was how hard it was to “role-play” Star-Lord (Peter Quill). Without spoiling too much there can be an option to bring someone back from dead towards the end and that choice is a hard one, given all you’ve come to know during the season. The main story arc about the Eternity Forge and the Kree works really well overall as it allows for some natural flashbacks and some focus on the relations between the Guardians and their past. The cartoonish approach to this book isn't so different from what Aaron Kuder has been doing with All-New Guardians, suggesting that Espin may be a perfect fit for that book's rotating art team.Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy The Telltale Series Free Download Repacklab Espin is sparing in his overall level of detail but still manages to inject every character with a vitality and emotional range that helps them come alive on the page. Espin has a very energetic style honed by many years of working on various Deadpool projects, and it's a style that translates easily to this corner of the Marvel U. Espin's art helps the whole meal go down smoothly. The script does go a bit overboard when it comes to exploring Star-Lord's feelings of inadequacy, but otherwise the characterization is solid. Van Lente's script maintains that crucial balance between highlighting the wacky misadventures these characters drag themselves into and casting them as a dysfunctional but close-knit family. The series leans especially heavy on the movie side when it comes to Drax's autism and literal-minded personality, and that's always good for a few laughs.
Van Lente certainly has the general group dynamic down pat.
Nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable all the same. It stars the same core quintet as they struggle to pay the bills and find a bounty worthy of their talents. The series could just as easily be an offshoot of the regular Marvel comics or the film, given how synergized this franchise is at the moment.
Not having played the game myself, I'm happy that writer Fred Van Lente and artist Salva Espin have taken that simple, straightforward approach.
