Ray-traced reflections and transparent reflections are available on PC and current-gen consoles. |
Audio & Soundtrack | |
N/A | Original score composed by Richard Jacques, featuring epic orchestral themes and character motifs fitting a cosmic adventure. A significant feature is the licensed 80s pop and rock soundtrack (e.g., Starship, KISS, Wham!, Blondie, Mötley Crüe), which Star-Lord plays on his Walkman and is integrated into gameplay via the 'Huddle Up' mechanic. Sound design includes distinct blaster effects, alien creature sounds, and ship ambience. The game is also lauded for its excellent voice acting and witty team banter. |
