Episode 1 (6.5/10)
I imagine this will be the general theme for the rest of the episodes and any Telltale game onward unless they change their formula, but I think I'm over them. I don't like the QTE battles, I hate just sitting there waiting and then having to press Q or E or SHIFT-Q, etc. It ruins a lot for me. I noticed in my Batman reviews that I was starting to get more bothered by them, then I never finished the series despite loving the actual story, and from that point until now I've just gotten over what Telltale does in this regard.

I'm still giving this a 6.5 for the story and characters, but I'm a huge Guardians fan so I'm already invested. I love the comics, love the movie, etc. Let me make this clear: it's the gameplay that drags this down, not everything else. From a narrative perspective this is at least an 8.
