Cat Quest 1 & 2 are legitimately fun games. I bought the 2nd one on the Switch and had a fun time with my kid playing it co-op.

It's always been a game that I thought looked like it would be fun to play, but I never got around to checking it out; I always got distracted by some other game.

Now that I got it for free on EGS, if it turns out I like it (which I suspect I will), I'll buy it on Steam.

The game so bad that it killed Volition, a studio whose roots go back to 1995's mega-hit Descent.

my understanding is that it is entirely dependent on how much you like the characters and their dialogue. the game parts are just sort of there.

I put in 18ish hours on Guardians of the Galaxy. It's a solid, linear game. It's a little slow to give you every character's abilities and the end game challenge is usually just dealing with swarms of enemies, but the combat was fun. The writing and voice acting were enjoyable (but different from the movies) and I thought a lot of the locations were very pretty.

I guess I'll finally have to watch that movie, so I can appreciate what I'm missing out on when I never play the game.

It's kind of like Marvel's Spider-Man, where the characters are the same but their backstories and parts of their personalities are different from the movies.

Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."
Guardians of the Galaxy is an extremely high quality game to be getting for free. Combat can be a bit dull but the overall experience is highly polished and it's one of the best looking games out there.

Well, half of the two games that killed Volition. Agents of Mayhem was the first bullet in the World's Most Expensive* Double-Tap.

(* I don't know how much Agents of Mayhem cost to make, beyond that it was hefty, but Saints Row Reboot apparently cost $100 million?!?!?!?!?!?!?)

It was well worth the $1 I paid to play it on Game Pass when you could still do that. Solid 7/10.

Only partially related but this is one of the best renditions of the Guardians of the Galaxy in audio drama form.
Drama form because its got multiple people doing the voices.
I've probably listened to it at least 5 times now the past few years.

It's a Spectacle game. Good if you can play at max visual settings.

GotG is decent but a lot does rest on how insufferable you find the cast. If you're a Marvel fan you'll be in heaven, it's full of deep cuts from the comics - I think Lady Hellbender has only appeared as a Totally Awesome Hulk villain previously but she's a major part of the game.

My biggest issue with it was that I played it shortly after another, better, SquareEnix published game where you're leading a ragtag group of squabbling adventurers, with combat that requires you to tactically use their abilities in sequence to stagger huge enemies, all set to a nostalgic soundtrack.

Yeah, I think if it had come out before Avengers it would have done much, much better. It's not ground breaking or anything but it is a pretty fun action game with good humor and cool music. If you like the movies and like shooters you'll probably like it. I was genuinely dissapointed it did so poorly it wouldn't get DLC or a sequel. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but there's some decent hooks for a next game and there's just so much Cosmic Marvel stuff you can use.

After playing Marvel's Midnight Suns I've realized what a marvelous job Guardians of the Galaxy did to make a Marvel game not make me miserable after several hours. It's a decent game on its own, too bad it makes you think about games that this studio could have produced instead.

If anyone with VR wants to give it a try, a UEVR (universal Unreal VR) mod that works with Ghostrunner was strangely also released today.
