Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series’ first episode lacks an identity

I love adventure games, but I’m not really into the whole Telltale thing.

I grew up with the likes of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Grim Fandango — adventure games that were about exploration, collecting items, and solving puzzles. Developer Telltale Games has evolved the genre, starting with its hit The Walking Dead series, focusing instead on story, conversations, and player choices. And while these games have their fans, I find them unrewarding and dull. The same holds true for Telltale’s new Guardians of the Galaxy series for the for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android. The first episode is Tangled Up in Blue, and I played the PC version.
