Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy built its subtitles around large text and speaker names. Players can switch on big text on a black background with speaker names, adjust letter spacing, and turn on closed captions for sound effects. Mark Brown's 2021 accessibility review puts it at the front of the pack on subtitles.

Brown's test is subtitles that are "large. That contrast well against the background. And that show you the speaker's name." The subtitles also glitch out, which he uses to argue that options must be reliable: "It's no longer that noteworthy for a game to have these features - now, they need to be robust and reliable."

Guardians of the Galaxy pairs curated difficulty settings with a large custom mode. Its custom difficulty mode has a large array of options alongside the designer-curated settings. Brown says the number of choices can be a little overwhelming.

He counts it among the games that let players dictate their own difficulty rather than offering only fixed presets.

Guardians of the Galaxy lets players bypass button-bashing quick time events. Button-mashing QTEs are a barrier for some players, and Guardians of the Galaxy lets them skip these sequences.

Brown names It Takes Two and House of Ashes as other games that offer the same skip.
