![]() While I felt one particular choice had left me troubled for hours after I’d made my decision, it was still largely lackluster. One of my biggest gripes with Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy series so far was the lack of consequence in many of its decisions. Moving around environments feels stiff and outdated, and it pulled me right out of the immersive experience Telltale had created up until that point. This is especially true thanks to the clunky handling in these sections. ![]() While I appreciate having the opportunity to work with the other Guardians to help me solve puzzles or use Peter’s thruster boots, it all feels a little unnecessary and is the weakest aspect of the episode. It’s a shame, because otherwise the pacing in Guardians of the Galaxy’s third episode had remained a fairly fast-paced and cinematic experience up until that point. This felt like it really slowed the pace of the episode down, not really adding anything to the experience except 10 minutes to its running time. There’s very little walking around environments or solving little puzzles this episode, although it does show up in the latter stages. Gamora and Nebula’s relationship is pretty much in tatters, but there was clearly a time, as shown in the episode, that the sisters truly cared for each other. It’s the events that led to this friction between the siblings that becomes the main focus of the episode, and it continues to flesh out the characters in a way that affects the way you’ll tackle decisions later in the series, even if it’s in just a minor way.Īs for the gameplay in Guardians of the Galaxy episode three, action and conversation are the main orders of the day. Episode three did this just as well, if not better than how episode two handled Rocket’s past. Episode two portrayed the character in a different light, and one that changes your perceptions and how you’ll think about responding to him in future episodes. ![]() ![]() How he’s struggling to come to terms with an emotional trauma in his past. Sure, Rocket seems irrational and emotionally unstable, but then we got to see why in episode two. ![]() Telltale has been gifted some incredibly eccentric and charismatic characters in the Guardians, and they’re utilizing them effectively. This is arguably my biggest praise of the series so far. ![]()
