  Though it seems that the actual purpose of the Guardians is to take down Thanos, the story is actually linked with the Eternity Forge and so on. This episode serves the usual Telltale trick of getting the ball rolling, but it's not exciting enough on its own merit, rather a promise of things to come.

  Overall, even with a few small missteps, this first episode of Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series: Tangled Up in Blue, sets the scene for what is yet to come and I’m hopeful that as we become immersed into the well-written story, these issues will melt away.

  In this case, I ultimately feel like Guardians of the Galaxy: Tangled Up in Blue is a wondrous entry to the developer’s ever-growing pool of stories. There’s something innately fun about this brand of Guardians, and TellTale was right to capitalize on both the recent films and the comics lore. There’s a very deft story being told, and one that’s definitely got a few unexpected turns even after one episode.

  It’s still too early to call if it’s going to hit the lows that Game of Thrones did, but if it keeps this up it’s never going to hit the highs of Tales From the Borderlands that I was hoping it would get to. I really do still hold that this is one of the best IPs for Telltale to get their hands on, but I’m not sure why they’re not making proper use of it. Hopefully, future episodes will only go up from here.

  On the bright side, Tangled Up in Blue is a solid first salvo for Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series. Though some of the early storytelling does prove to be disappointing, it is nice to know that they have plenty of room for improvement in future chapters. Given the nature of the conflicts dealt with in this installment, I am still extremely curious to see where things go from here. The sky’s the limit for this series. Let’s hope that Telltale is shooting for the stars.

  Tangled Up in Blue is a promising start for the Guardians of the Galaxy series, as Telltale applies its usual focus upon the contrasting relationships of the flawed but endearing squad. With some fresh tweaks to the gameplay and a solid soundtrack to rock out to, Telltale’s latest is one to keep an eye on for both Guardians fans and newcomers alike.
