Digital Foundry : Developer Eidos Montreal’s take on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy brings us one of the very best story-driven games of 2021 – and it’s great to see Square-Enix pivot back firmly to a single-player action game. There’s no multiplayer, no online, not even co-op – and refreshingly, there’s not the slightest hint of the ‘games as a service’ concept that sat so uneasily with Marvel’s Avengers. It’s all about you, playing as Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, haphazardly adventuring through a well-scripted story, chapter by chapter. Based on the Dawn Engine, as used in Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Guardians of the Galaxy is a genuine treat, but how does it play out on the new wave of consoles?
