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.
Guardians of the Galaxy is definitely starting off on the right foot, with a great script, great actors, and a universe packed with personality (and backed by catchy tunes) to explore. If it can continue to deliver the quality of dialogue and panel-perfect action over the course of the rest of the season, it may find itself seated in the upper echelons of Telltale’s catalog. I just hope that now the series has introduced itself, the series gives its environments and characters just a bit more time to breathe in between speeding the plot along.
It is undeniably a strong start for the series, filling me with optimism for what’s yet to come. A culmination of a great cast of characters that have been well represented, a solid script full of drama and humour, and tried and tested gameplay systems that have been finely honed, Guardians of the Galaxy Episode One is a must for fans of the unlikely group of heroes, as well as anyone who’s a fan of the story-driven adventure genre.
