Guarding The Galaxy

Telltale Games returns to bring the Marvel hit Guardians of the Galaxy staring our favorite galactic heroes Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The release of the latest TellTale Games title Guardians of the Galaxy came just in time for the theatrical release of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Episode One - Tangled Up In The Blue, quickly brings the player back to the decision making, action packed new series with enough modifications in control selection and graphics updates to make it feel like it came out a year after The Walking Dead but in actuality it only came out a few months after.


Right off the bat, we get the killer soundtrack that we are known to hear from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies as we start off with some rocking tunes and Peter Quill getting his gear on as Star Lord gets an incoming transmission and agrees to help protect the group from Thanos. Star Lord's ship is under attack as we get to the opening credits, and as the ship is under attack we get to listen to more tunes. The user starts off as Star-Lord but throughout the Episode we get to try out the action with all of the Guardians of the Galaxy. As the ship is under attack Star-Lord gets accustomed to the controls as you are made to use the Right Trigger and the X button and we're off!

Credits come up and we see Star-Lord and the Guardians of the Galaxy in their ship flipped upside down. The Title Screen Episode One - Tangled Up In The Blue displays and this new game title already feels like we are watching a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.


Controls/New Features

New controls have been introduced in The Guardians of the Galaxy. The D-Pad for Star-Lord gives him the ability to be able to fly. Hitting the  LT (Left Trigger) will provide you a way to answer and and reach out on your communicator. Along with those additions we can now more faster with the RT (Right Trigger). Controls are more advanced and a little more difficult than in previous TellTale Games Titles as we have fighting sequences with multi button selections and you need to be quick on your feet or you will get beaten up.

The obvious new feature this time around is the ability for the user in control will also from time to time have control of all of the Guardians of the Galaxy and not just Star Lord. In previous TellTale Games titles we only controlled one primary character unless it was a flashback sequence as in The Walking Dead.


Audio/Visuals

Guardians of the Galaxy The TellTale Series Episode 1 - Tangled Up In The Blue is a true cinematic adventure rather than a video game with all the updates in graphics and seamless cut scenes. The best part of this new series has to be the licensed music we get to jam out to. Music is a very important part of Star-Lord's life in the cinematic and comic book world and it was transitioned perfectly to the video game world.

  
Conclusion
Guardians of the Galaxy The TellTale Series contains a high action, music pumping, fun experience for all of the TellTale fans and now can bring in some new interest from Marvel fans alike.

Guardians of the Galaxy The TellTale Series Episode 1 - Tangled Up In The Blue can be finished in about 120 minutes and there are a few decisions to make in this episode that will leave you to jam out to more. As always, try out the episodes multiple times to get the full experience with multiple outcomes.

Guardians of the Galaxy The TellTale Series is highly recommended and is available now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Check it out here.
