Canonically, these characters’ pasts aren’t exactly the same as the James Gunn Marvel movies, but there is at least one constant: Peter Quill and Drax the Destroyer have both lost their families to tragedy. Dialogue options appeared and we began to chat. I eventually stumbled upon Drax staring into a great cosmic void. For the first time, I was apart from my teammates, and it’s to this game’s credit that I actually felt lonely. ![]() I stepped out into a space station, and within minutes, we had all gone our separate ways. Gamora was depressed for unknown reasons. Rocket and Star-Lord were in the middle of an argument. About halfway through my adventure, everyone on the team was feeling a bit disenfranchised.
