It's a shame that Rocket Racoon is one of the weaker heroes to play as, considering he's actually a focal point of most of the cutscenes and story beats. The idea of pairing him with Groot, providing a constant stream of bullet hell-like fire from the shoulder of his best friend, is admittedly pretty damn compelling, but sadly the doubling up of the characters isn't executed as well is it could have been.

Instead of being one proper entity, they feel a little bit like two halves stuck together, never amounting to more than the sum of their parts. Still, at least Rocket's quips are on point
