PlayStation Plus members have been openly talking about a game that is available in the catalog that doesn’t get the recognition or praise it actually deserves. With hundreds of titles available via the subscription service, it’s quite easy to get overwhelmed and, as a consequence, have some releases fly under your radar. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, for instance, is part of the PS Plus games in January 2026, though it may have gone unnoticed for some.
A game that has been available in the catalog for some time is one that may be deserving of some attention. A post made by karimbmn on Reddit raises the discussion about what games on the Extra catalog are underrated. Users respond, but one answer is truly highlighted. According to user D0om310, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is an underrated game on PlayStation Plus’ Extra catalog, an opinion that many other users agreed with.
Guardians Of The Galaxy Is Seriously Underrated
The Marvel Game Deserves Justice
The user and those who agreed with them aren’t wrong. The game was released a year after Marvel Avengers, a game that wasn’t as well-received as hoped, and that type of reputation carried over into Guardians of the Galaxy. Players were wary of another Marvel-based game, and it ultimately didn’t make too many ripples across the industry, as highlighted by PaladinBladeX on Reddit. Even so, it is one of the best superhero games of all time.
The game’s story is fun, the gameplay is phenomenal and has a lot of variety, and despite leaning more into what you’d expect from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies rather than the comics, it still offers a lot of involvement and fidelity regarding the characters. Additionally, the playable characters in Guardians of the Galaxy provide for a wider variety of gameplay options than anticipated.
Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy Is A Worthwhile Game
The fact that the game is available in the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog is an additional incentive for you to play, in case you’re a member of that tier of higher. As was mentioned, the game is actually great. A lot of comments in the original post, in response to the user who highlighted Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, praise it immensely, and even go on to lament the fact that the odds of it getting a sequel are slim.
This is because the studio behind it, Eidos-Montréal, was sold to the Embracer Group in 2022. For a sequel to happen, there would have to be brand-new talks about getting authorization from Disney, and seeing that it wasn’t a hit, the chances are that the company will invest in something else. Regardless, as a PlayStation Plus member, you should enjoy Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy for free.
