A strong start for Telltale Games' new series, offering an intriguing narrative, charismatic characters, and engaging interactions. While the gameplay remains familiar, the story hooks the player. Technical issues and poor Spanish localization detract from the overall experience.

Chapter one shows glimmers of potential, but the game lacks the risk and slapdash weirdness that made Guardians of the Galaxy work in other mediums. It treads familiar territory for fun characters, but it's uncertain if it can hold up for five playable episodes.
