10 Best Reviewed Video Games You Didn't Play

10. Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy (2021)

Thanks to their trio of big budget blockbusters, ragtag superhero ensemble the Guardians Of The Galaxy have become some of the most recognisable comic book characters in recent years. Their popularity alone should have led to excellent sales for Square Enix’s Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy. However, this title had everything working against it from the start.

Not only were fans of the comics and films taken aback by the characters’ new designs, but there was likewise still a bad taste left after the microtransaction-heavy mess that was Marvel’s Avengers from the previous year.

Consequently, this game released without much audience fanfare. Despite receiving masses of praise from critics and those who did play the game (with the title sitting at a commendable 80 on Metacritic), acclaim alone wasn't enough to earn sales.

Boasting slick and zippy combat and exploration that utilised each of the Guardians’ unique abilities, this game was simply a blast to play.

Moreover, the writing is genuinely hilarious. The constant back-and-forth between the characters made for a riotous fun time. But it's the surprising amount of heart at the centre of the Guardians' galaxy-saving misadventure which cements this game as one of the best superhero outings of all time.
