Something good? Something bad? Bit of both?
Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy

FORMAT PS5, PS4 / ETA 26 OCT / PUB SQUARE ENIX DEV EIDOS MONTREAL / PLAYERS 1

Roughly three seconds of footage is enough to suggest that Eidos Montreal might just be the perfect choice to deliver the latest chapter in the interstellar adventures of Marvel’s most lovable oddballs.

As Star-Lord slides on his knees, firing twin blasters into the flanks of a quadrupedal alien to the power-pop strains of Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out For A Hero, it seems the team behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution has adapted brilliantly to a very different brand of science fiction. The colourful action, the irreverent tone, the vintage needle drops? This is the Guardians we know and love.

The Invincible

The planet Regis III is one of the most gorgeous videogame locations of the year. Its lush orange deserts look hand-painted, its starry skyboxes truly justify the word awesome, and the [SPOILER REDACTED] you discover there are truly, thrillingly alien. What an unmitigated triumph of art design and direction! Shame about the game.
