The graphics are beautiful, the transition between gameplay and cutscenes was smooth, the animations of bosses and mobs was fantastic and I loved the attention to detail for specific areas especially the ship of the guardians.

There’s also a ‘Team Huddle’ ability in which, after gaining enough XP, you can call the whole team over and, if you successfully convince them, you’ll all get a temporary buff in the fight, as well as Peter’s tunes playing in the background, making the combat much more enjoyable while fighting alongside to the music.
Audio

I’m not familiar with the comics (only the movies), but it still felt true to the source material — and that 70s/80s soundtrack is absolutely perfect.
