Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy game guide to help you protect the cosmos
Everything you need for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy game
Our full Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy game guide covers the essential topics, from all the major choices, to general tips and how long it takes to beat. Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal's take on the band of cosmic misfits in video game form is a punky, scrappy affair where you control Star-Lord and the Guardians on a quest to save the universe and beat an ominous growing power. It's a high-octane adventure packed with a mix of fast-paced combat, comic book action, and tough choices. Combine all that with the usual action video game upgrade systems, cosmetics, and more, and it's quite a lot to know about, so that's where this Guardians of the Galaxy game guide comes in.

We all have to make sacrifices for the team, but maybe a faceful of gravel is a bit much. If you're undecided, we'll answer the question: "should you throw Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy?", to help you choose whether you're willing to dabble in some mild animal cruelty.
