Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series - Episode One: Tangled Up in Blue Review
Tangled Up in Blue is an excellent pilot that does a superb job in introducing each of the Guardians to new players, while remaining very faithful to their source material. The story poses a few interesting discussion points, which can easily see this story heading into a few different directions, while touching on themes such as friendship and trust, with a hint of something larger looming in the distance. However, this episode suffers from technical problems that are an annoyance. Coupled with the dry humour that falls flat, causing a few eye-rolls more often than not, it shows that there is definitely room for improvement in subsequent episodes.

I like Telltale games for the most part. I loved The Wolf Among Us and Tales From The Borderlands. Those were also games that I played years ago. As of now, the engine feels the same if not slowly getting worse. It could also be that I was more forgiving in the past when I was playing those games on older hardware. Now it is 2017, and I'm all out of patience. Guardians is hindered by its engine and will continue to be if Telltale does not change, which is a true shame.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy feels like a mixed bag. While there’s the promise of a fun adventure in the Marvel universe with a likable group of characters, it’s hampered by the same problems of nearly every Telltale game in the last few years, plus a few new ones. It’s not terrible, but I’d wait to see what the other episodes look like before picking it up.
