GOTG and TWD aren't, though.

Telltale almost always use their own in-house team or whatever, don't they?

Eitherway, yeah, not looking forward to this new season of TWD. The Telltale creative seem to have 2 separate teams; one for comedy and one for tragedy. And their comedy team is much, much, much more competent than the other one. The comedy adds heart and warmth, and it's no surprise to me that the games with the least amount of these (TWD season 2, Game of Thrones) are also the least entertaining ones with the worst writing.

Guardians though, if that just ends up being Tales from the Borderlands Season 2 I'll be over the moon.

I feel like the presence of comedy also mitigates a lot of the complaints with the format of Telltale games. Like, if a certain decision doesn't affect the plot one way or the other, but leads to a really funny joke (blow his mind), it's fine, because you got a really funny joke out of it.

Blow His Mind and Break His Heart was were TftB won me over without reservation. It was probably my favourite part of the entire game up until Chapter 4 happened, where I just couldn't stop giggling like a maniac.

If the same creative team (Pierre Shorette, Adam Hines, Nick Herman et al) are still tickling their goofy space-opera funnybone for Guardians I can only imagine what we'll get.

He's still got the dumb no-underpants-on-the-oustide look; no purchase.

Actually the Lego Marvel Super Heroes games are literally that, just with Lego dudes instead of regular dudes.
