Guardians of the Galaxy is not an open-world game. We wish there were a way to turn the Huddle Up scene off entirely, resembling what we saw in the gameplay trailers. Turning Huddle Auto-Win on will make the gap go by faster and give you the combat boost that you’ve rightfully earned by stringing enough combos together. While this mechanic was fun at first, we found it an unnecessary break in combat that threw off the pace of battle. Choosing correctly lets you use the Guardian’s skills without cooldowns. If you choose wrong, only Star-Lord will receive a boost. You’ll have to pay attention to what the other Guardians are saying and then choose the right dialogue option as Star-Lord for a full team boost.

This gathers the Guardians around their leader for an inspirational dialogue exchange. When the Guardians deal enough damage, Star-Lord can trigger Huddle Up mid-battle. However, we do recommend turning on Huddle Auto-Win. Combat isn’t all that challenging on Normal, but you’ll still have to know what you’re doing.

We recommend playing on the default normal difficulty for the best video game experience. If you’re looking for an easier, more cinematic approach, you can adjust these settings as you see fit. From the pause menu, tab down to Difficulty to open up the settings. Guardians of the Galaxy allows you to customize the difficulty settings to tailor the game to your liking. Change this setting for more traditional flight controls.
