In October 2021, developer Eidos-Montréal, the team behind the basically-dead live-service title Marvel’s Avengers, launched Guardians of the Galaxy. The single-player, third-person shooter was excellent, offering great combat, likable characters, solid puzzles, and gorgeous environments. It received generally favorable reviews across aggregators Metacritic and OpenCritic, and it defied all our expectations when we reviewed it. Now, a little over two years later, the game is free to download on PC via the Epic Games Store.

Unfortunately, while the game was praised by critics and fans alike, publisher Square Enix wasn’t impressed with what Eidos-Montréal put out. In fact, according to a February 2022 financial filing, Square Enix said the game’s “sales on launch undershot our initial expectations.” Square Enix just can’t be pleased.

Ignoring Square Enix, though, Guardians of the Galaxy is well worth your time. It’s only 17.5 hours long, according to game length tracker How Long To Beat, and is exceptional every step of the way. You totally should grab it while it’s free.
