The crew that makes up the Guardians of the Galaxy are an exceptionally oddball pairing, but they’ve managed to get along despite having little in common. While their differences often leads to humorous exchanges, they’ve been slowly creating a rift in Telltale Games’ Guardians of the Galaxy. All of these issues come to a head in episode four, and there’s even more in-fighting than before.
Despite characters being at odds over what the player decided to do with the Eternity Forge (I decided to destroy it), they quickly come back together after being faced with a life and death situation. The first half of Who Needs You is familiar in nature, as the team is being forced to work together to get out of a sticky situation. The issues are momentarily paused, but they never truly fade to the background as perceptive players will notice how they boil up to the surface in small areas. It’s during these moments of relative unity that players get to explore several different environments (with one that’s decidedly more gross than the other), and do some good old fashioned adventure game puzzle solving. It’s all pretty simple for the most part, as players just have to interact with items and occasionally move an object, but it’s a good break from the West Wing-style walk and talk sequences.
