In this game, you play as Peter Quill (Star-Lord), and you lead the iconic <em>Guardians of the Galaxy <\/em>team through battles, missions, and environmental puzzle-solving.<\/p>\n<p>You build relationships with members of your team, and ultimately \u2014 if you treat the other characters right \u2014 those relationships pay off.<\/p>\n<p>In his review of the game, Polygon&#8217;s Ryan Gilliam praised the genuine moments between characters, writing: &#8220;After spending the entire game telling Groot to make bridges for the team, Groot walked up to a gap and placed a bridge without me asking. At first, I thought it was a bug, but Peter complimented Groot on his initiative. Similarly, Rocket began hacking electronics of his own accord. I treated my teammates with respect from the beginning, and they were paying it back to me in the gameplay itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Encore Edition <\/em>brings refreshed graphics to the game, fully optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2. The <em>Encore Edition <\/em>also comes with new outfits for Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot \u2014 all of which are inspired by 1980s glam rock. You can preorder the game at a reduced price of $35.99 until Nov. 5. After that date, the price will rise to $39.99.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/marvels-guardian-galaxy-gotg-switch-2-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a good time to be a Guardians of the Galaxy fan.
