What makes a great story? It needs to be entertaining, understandable, but not necessarily memorable but that helps as well. Stories are one of gaming’s biggest struggles. Very few stand the test of time and even fewer are remembered through time. The characters inside the story are a big part of it as well, including voice acting and the script.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

Whether you like Guardians of the Galaxy or superhero games you can’t deny how entertaining and wonderful the story here is. You won’t want to put the game down or shut it off. Many favorite characters debut as well as cameos, and it’s just a blast to watch unfold. Better than the movies and on par with the comics, this was one of the most enjoyable and least convoluted stories this year.
