How long would it take to earn the Guardians of the Galaxy game Platinum trophy?
We'd estimate that you could earn the Platinum trophy in the Guardians of the Galaxy game in under 25 hours.
You could, in theory, do it all in one playthrough, but we'd predict that most players will not – it's more likely that you'll want to nip back into chapters multiple times to pick up every single outfit, lore dump and resource. It should be fun, though!
