Want Drax to make a giant rock close to a ledge? You’re the one who does it. And even then, Star-Lord dictates who does what on and off the battlefield.
It may seem odd to play as Star-Lord or as only Star-Lord, but it makes what might otherwise be a complex process less convoluted. But when the Guardians accidentally release something they shouldn’t have, it’s all hands on deck to fix it before it fixes them - for good. You’ve got to make the call, and sometimes, your compatriots aren’t going to agree with you, and they won’t be quiet about that. Through intense firefights and delicate negotiations, players are tasked with managing a roster of Drax, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot as Star-Lord.
It’s, for the most part, a pleasant ride if you’re looking past a crowd of bugs. However, don’t be irritated, since the game reminds players of this. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy from Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal explains everything about it: guarding the galaxy.
