What should I understand about Guardians of the Galaxy as someone who's never watched any of the movies but I'm playing the game right now?

So I am playing the game because it was free on my PlayStation plus premium and I got a reward on my PlayStation app for playing it. I've kind of gotten into Guardians of the Galaxy now but I went into the game basically blind. I knew who Rocket Raccoon was and Groot but that was about it. So I do understand that Rocket understands what Groot is saying and Groot just says I am Groot.
The games are their own canon, so going in fresh is perfectly fine, if not expected.
The game is separate to the movies. There's nothing to need to know before hand. Plus the movies are based on comics anyway and didn't require prior knowledge to watch them, the game is also based on the comic characters. The origins of the characters in the game differ somewhat to the movies as well so there isn't any benefit or advantage you're missing by not having seen the movies.
They're a team of misfits who go about the galaxy doing stuff, mostly good stuff but sometimes petty. That's it!
It's actually better to not have seen the movies or read the comics or played the somewhat rightfully forgotten telltale game as this game's version of the characters differs from all and it's best to take it as it is rather than having "I wish it was more like the movies" in the back of your head.
I'm disappointed that TellTale was shut down. Anyway yeah it's not the game I'm talking about I assume you know that cause your pointing out other examples I just want to be clear.
Since you've gotten the answers, I have a question.
How are you liking the game? Are you playing the one from 2021 where you play as Star Lord? If so, I honestly kinda fucking loved it. From the gorgeous scenery and visuals, to the way the characters were written and voiced. I felt the game was just long enough to be great and not overly long, but tbh I kinda want a sequel.
Yeah, the game is pretty good. Yeah it's the one from 2021.
