More about Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

Critics scored it 78. Players sit 16 points higher at 94 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 13 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,169 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 1,313 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
