Guardians of the Galaxy Combat Gameplay Trailer
The latest Guardians of the Galaxy trailers are here with the first one showcasing the combat of the game and the abilities of the team.
“Just as they all have their own distinct personalities out of combat, each Guardian similarly boasts their own unique specialties and abilities on the battlefield, with their strategic management proving paramount for players hoping to take down the vast array of different enemies they’ll encounter while adventuring through the cosmos. Rocket serves as the group’s multi-target explosive specialist, Groot as its protector and healer, Drax as its staggering wrecking ball, Gamora as its high-damage single-target assassin, and Star-Lord as, of course, its versatile “so-called” leader.”

Guardians of the Galaxy Exploration Gameplay Trailer
The next trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy showcases some of the exploration and non-combative areas to come to the game.
“In Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, players won’t only have the opportunity to lead the Guardians in combat. As seen in the second video, they’ll also be responsible for steering their teammates in the right direction while journeying to and from a plethora of iconic Marvel locations on the Milano. Making choices (and dealing with the consequences) is a core part of being a leader, and it’s similarly at the core of the Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy experience, from deciding how to approach a conversation, to allocating ability points, to choosing between comic-accurate and original outfits, and beyond.”

Review – WWZ Aftermath
2019 saw the original release of Saber Interactive’s third person survival shooter World War Z which has remarkably been played by an impressive 15 million players. Using their Swarm Engine, Saber Interactive was able to keep their title as close to possible to the 2013 big screen movie counterpart with its extreme in number and speed zombie hordes, creating an intense but anxious cooperative thrill ride. At the time of OMG review, we were impressed with a solid 8/10.
Two and a half years on World War Z returns, not as a fully-fledged sequel but as a $30AU Aftermath add on for current owners of the original game or a $60AU full new game for those picking it up for the first time. Aftermath brings with it new missions, a new class, a first-person perspective, improved weapons, new melee system, solid 60FPS frame rate and promise of more to come for the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
