Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Underrated, over-hated. This game is perfectly ok, people are just pissed it wasn't some impossible to achieve 15/10 experience. It's like a 7 out of 10 but it's still fun enough. Just get it while it's on sale or something.

Gameplay is boring and repetitive except for the main story bossfights and the whole endgame is just the studio trying to keep the game relevant for longer and failing to do so. No wonder the sales make the price less than 5 dollars now, otherwise nobody would buy it.

Fun enough, but could have been great without all the garbage live service crap. Get it on sale and it's worth it for a few hours of fun.

I'd rather be molested by ten gypsies than play this shit again, this game is so repetitive and so focused on live service. It's a mockery of the Arkham series.

Only worth if you get it on sale. It's fun the first playthrough but gets SUPER repetitive pretty quick after the campaign is over. Fun with friends and can kill a few hours.

This game has its satisfying moments and the story is pretty fun to just play through, but there is so much content/ui that just pushed in your face that it feels overwhelming. Played it co-op and that was fine, game just doesn't really give much appeal after you're done with the story, so ggs

Look I get it, there are some very valid concerns and problems with the game (especially at launch) and No I would never spend full price. But as a guy who picked it up on sale for $5 for the complete edition and playing it a year + after release. There is a very fun game here. I am 8 hrs into the story and I find myself losing track of the time and just having a true blast playing the game. Game-play is addicting and punchy, with a super cool open world Metropolis, I say check it out.

This game isnt an arkham game do not look at it that way if you do you wont like it but i was plesently surprised by how much i liked this game the gameplay is fast unique and engaging the characters are differentiated in playstyle and the voice acting is great so are the cinematics for the most part but the story the game drops the ball its worth it watching the cinematics because they look cool and the voice acting is good but the story is just a no

Game itself is not awful but seems to be badly optimised. Cannot get it to run well on steam deck once you are in open world even with lowest settings. It is playable but FPS choppy which is not good for fast paced shoot em up. Game needs to be online even in single player so not much good for on the go gaming. I Can't seem to get it to run well on my rig either. FPS fluctuates badly for me even with NVIDEA apps recommended settings for my RTX3060 laptop GPU, i7 10870H CPU.

Runs and looks a million times better on my PS5 Pro so will just play it on there until I can get a decent desktop PC in the future.

Probably about 3 hours into game itself. Its cannon to the arkham games so lots of references to the Batman Trilogy. Characters are amusing. King Shark is basically DC's Drax. Story is interesting enough to want to keep playing.

Game play is swing around shooting, going from objective to objective in a semi open world blasting enemies and blowing things up with occasional boss fights.

Nothing like the batman combat in Arkham series but still incredibly good fun.

I'd recommend giving it a go if you pick it up on the cheap for sure.

People Hate this game. I know that. I knew it when I bought it, and that's why I bought it when it was $2.97. 42 hours in, I've already completed the main story and I'm now playing the post-release episodic content. I'd recommend picking this up on sale like I did - I feel like a kid who pulled a shitty licensed game out of the bargain bin in 2004 because the characters are familiar, and now has a new obsession.

If you like the Arkham style of combat like I do and can appreciate outside the box takes on familiar characters, this is a good one.

ALSO the Kevin Conroy tribute after completing the main story actually made me weep. Full huge fat tears rolling down my face.

It's a fun game, at least main story wise. But the ending is left open so they could do their failed live service crap, which apparently also ended terribly. But as a singleplayer solo story, it's alright. I got it for $2 or something and it was definitely worth more than that. But oh well. I'm not gonna act like I don't get why it flopped so hard.

Do not listen to any weebs that give this pathetic attempt of a pre alpha a 10/10. I'm a huge Batmanhead and played all the games at least 7-8 times each, however, this game is not intended to follow in the Arkhamverse steps unfortunately and I get that, personally I like a new rework/reboot of a franchise (best example God Of War), but this game is below every reboot, run and shoot game I've ever played, fk it, I can even say it's easily top 5 shittiest attempt of a game I've ever touched.

Mechanics - decent at best, but somewhat fun
Graphics - mid AF for today's standards and the performance it offers
Performance - utter, uber, pathetic garbage and I'm not complaining cuz I ain't hitting 180 fps, the game can't even run stable at at least the famous number 60
Story - ......
Dialog - .......
Atmosphere - I've seen dogs shitting and heard babies crying in a park that offer a better atmosphere

If you want a PS 2 experience with slightly "cutting edge" visuals, than yea this game is for you my fellow weeber

It's not worth the money. I actually love the gameplay and I don't dislike the characters, but there is simply no progression that makes the game feel rewarding, and the dew things that could make the progression feel good are locked behind 5+ hour commitments.

First Impression (and major thoughts):

First and foremost: It's crazy how controversial and overhated this game is. This is coming from a big DC/Marvel fan and enjoyer who would like to address some of the criticism that everyone automatically throws at this game. Obviously enjoying a game in its current state and not dogpiling so much nuance leading up to its rocky release/history and day one reviews.

Yes, this game is a continuation of the 3 (HOLY GRAIL to some because of the batman trilogy that came before it) rocksteady games that everyone loves. And this is how i see things (and how some people should if they weren't such purists): Remember Alien? Aliens? two back to back legendary movies beloved by everyone and arguably always in a constant friendly debate of which one is better? Now remember Fincher's Alien 3? That movie took a different approach in its story and direction in every way it was shot, to the point that it was almost staggering to hardcore fans of the franchise because it did not live up to the 1st two. So nothing too serious as long as the fourth alien movie doesn't directly continue the franchise and ignorantly following controversial debates, it can be discarded and left alone to the fans who actually enjoy something unique that see something in it that others don't. When Alien Resurrection came out, this was definitely even more out there that it was clearly not meant to be taken seriously and felt more spinoff-ish. Both 3 and 4 haven't been overtly hated because it only exists if you want it to exist. If you crave more of this universe and going deeper into different iterations that ultimately does not change/retcon any previous lore or feelings, the Alien franchise at that time was a great example.

And this happens everywhere which is TOTALLY FINE (i.e in music like Weezer's first two albums, beloved book series etc) but when it comes to mindlessly hating it... it's not like no one is forcing you to accept this as lore that will be the foundation to other future lore building blocks (uncommon exception like the star wars sequels/prequels depending on who you ask). Long story short, in the context of what people have superfically seen and people who have actually sat down to play the game in full, this is clearly just a "What If" fun/humorous/quirky story line that tries really hard to be different from the past 3 serious/sterile/heroic games before it. Maybe it was a preexisting hate from the suicide squad movie that flopped super hard or the fact that people online always love to easily find and bandwagon hate on something they can call a punching bag. In this (current) game with a decent story, fluid mechanics/traversals, deep customization of what weapon/skill tree you want... I mean it's not superficial but nothing super complicated/deep enough like a la Baldur's Gate to lose track of. Is it worth 70 bucks retails, f*ck no. But on a good sale (picked up the deluxe edition at 5 bucks), its definitely worth looking into and playing along.

Yes, they really DO kill the Justice League (SHOCKER). While this may have been to drive the shock value to some fans, to treat this individual storyline as the last straw that broke your love for DC is highly ridiculous. I was on board with most of what they were setting up and found myself enjoying this weird twisted "what if" scenario that you can play out as a true villain (and asshole sometimes) that you dont get nowadays. To also act like your Kevin Conroy's manager or dad and say that this was super disrespectful to make in a game without realizing that he signed off (and enjoyed the idea of playing a different batman in interviews) is beyond trying to rub some braincells for some intelligence. If its that highly offensive to you to begin with, idk how you manage to get by so many iteration of different comic runs and era without just wanting to unalive yourself by hating on the fact that its not the ideal version you wanted. None of these characters are strictly black and white and i APPLAUD the fact that this game had the creativity to create something so out there to begin with.

Yes, this game has microtransactions. I was not there for this game's launch but i started noticing this game since (have never bought and will never buy a triple game retail price) but for the current and i'm assuming for most of the game's lifespan, it is not as predatory as others nor does it feel pay2win to get better loot (no advantage on PVP since its all PVE). While it does have a battlepass system, its just there to give you more cosmetics that don't mean much if you don't care for it. While it might have been scaled down from how it must have been on release, it is not getting in the way of you enjoying this game without paying a single dollar.

I have just finished beating the main storyline and still have yet to play any of the planned endgame content. I am very excited to jump back in with friends and 100% all of this game. Since i started this game, i realized that this isnt a game (at least for me) to grind out for multiple hours. It does get slightly repetitive in the open world map within the game but it was always something i enjoyed looking forward frequently to kill a couple hours or so as the game never ran into an issue of filler during its story. Decently sized story, lots to explore and finish if youre a completionist and engaging gameplay in a universe that doesn't get explored often in video games.

4/5 suicide squad members

Bought this game on sale and still feel robbed. This game is so boring that I was doomscrolling through most of the cut scenes. character interaction is boring, game play is boring. Do not recommend

This game is like inviting Harley Quinn to Thanksgiving—chaotic and loud. The Justice League gets deleted, the Squad gets therapy (sort of), and I got carpal tunnel from all the explosions. 7/10. I would betray Superman again.

Got the deluxe edition for 5$ still would not recommend, Game play is spread out between endless cut-scenes and even when you do get to play the game its repetitive garbage. I played with a friend and my wife they also dislike this game.

bought it for sale on 5 bucks and still wouldn't even recommend it at that price. you spend 80% of the game in cutscenes and when you finally get to a mission, it's always just walk for 2 minutes, kill 10 enemies and walk back to base. terrible game.

Save yourself, its not worth the time you have. Use your life for the better, but not for this.

Im not sure why people are harsh on this game. i like pretty much everything about the game especially the dialog, the voice acting, and the facial expressions. runs fine once i figured out that the game was really lagging due to the raytracing being on and everything else was set to high.... just needed to turn off raytracing, eitherway i enjoyed the whole main story but havent gotten to the DLC. we'll see about the rest of the game.

I absolutely love this game
It took me some time because it felt underwhelming comparing to the arkham games but then it hit me.
This game shouldn't be compared to the arkham games, but viewed as a standalone thingy and honestly its so much funnn.
The game play reminds me of freaking Doom in 3rd person.
I don't see anyone complaining that the doom game play is repetitive but everyone are saying it on this game for some reason.
The story is nothing crazy, but it is entertaining.

Ppl complain about the justice league, and specifically Batman, and i agree. Their battles are a bit underwhelming, and i don't buy that freaking flash (or any of the other battles rly) couldnt kick TFX arses if it was comics true.
But if the devs would have followed that, the game wouldnt exists, and honestly the game looks beautifull, the physics are smooth and believable and the gameplay is fun and chaotic.

Recommended : no, and if you buy, buy on heavy, heavy sale, never at full price. And expect a whole fucking lot of uselessly complicated "shooter mechanics". Because apparently shooting things isn't good enough.

The game definetely isn't worth the full price. There simply isn't enough meat on the bone to pay that much. The gameplay loop feels like some indie action game that you'd get for less than 10 bucks, with some DC paint over it, pretty but unoptimized graphics, and a shit ton of extremely annoying mechanics splattered all over to pretend it's "skill". That doesn't make the game as terrible as many have said, it's just criminally overpriced and quite annoying when those mechanics kick in.

So, what do you get : get from A to B, shoot bad guys, get loot. Rince, repeat. You quickly get into the loop, and it doesn't really change. You get a boss fight now and then. Traversal is interesting, but they made it overly complicated for no reason at all.

The real pain in the rear is that sometimes you'll need to use some very specific mechanics, like "get your combo meter to x50" or "enemies only take damage from boosted attacks". The game does a very poor job at explaining its own mechanics, and I couldn't get through a mission because only boosted attacks could damage the enemies and I had no idea WHAT a boosted attack even is. That's when I gave up and uininstalled. I'm dodging around, shooting shit, using counters, the overly complicated traversal mechanics, the bullshit "shields won't recharge so you need to do specific attacks to recharge them" and so on, plus the traversal attacks, the suicide attacks, and STILL I need ANOTHER dumb mechanic or else enemies take zero damage ? What happened to shooters in which gunning shit down was the point ? If layers upon layers of mechanics is your jam you'll love this one. As you might have guessed, I don't.

The humour is terrible, but in a good way, at least. It's so very bad that it becomes kinda good in its own corny way. Probably only works if you like dad jokes and stupid humour. The story... Well, it exists. There is really nothing nice to say about the story. The Brainiac thing has been overdone for years now. It's basicallty the same (terrible) plot that was in DC Universe Online years ago, except this time the Justice League has been brainwashed so they send 3 guys without any superpower whatsoever and a shark to do the job.

Don't think about it, Ignore it, shoot stuff, get loot, big numbers go brrr, rince, repeat.

If you can get it for 5 bucks, it's fun, barring the specific mechanics that may or may not be your thing. Up to 10 bucks is probably okay. Full price ? Please, at this price you could buy Risk of Rain 2 for yourself, for a friend, and still have money left for a snack and a beer. If it feels like some indie game made by 3 guys in a garage, pay like it's an indie game made by 3 guys in a garage. It's rather unfair for those 3 guys in a garage, though, they probably wouldn't have added the useless annoying mechanics like "enemies are immortal until you do a handstand". Just kidding, this one isn't in the game... As far as I can tell.

Maybe some day we'll get some good Justice League game (or movie, for that matter), but until then, this is a nice shooter to empty your mind if you can get it for real cheap. But I can't recmmend it because of all the stupid mechnaics that bring nothing to the table, complicate gameplay for no good reason, and basically get in the way of enjoying the game. Of course, if you're one to love many mandatory mechanics, you should probably get it. At 90+ % discount.

This game is a disgrace to the Arkahm franchise, The disrespect to Arkahm batman is insane. not to mention the horrible game play is so dang repetitive it makes me uninstall the game. The character assassination is also very annoying and dumb.

Overall
Gameplay = 2/10
Story = 0/10

I get it, the live service part was poorly executed, but this game was killed right out of the gate. The hazards of content creators being able to freely lodge their shitty opinions, One even demoed it showing how terrible Harley's traversal was, because he was doing it as badly as possible, like he was having a seizure. The traversal is great in this game, probably the most fun I've had since Spider-Man, and I enjoy the combat mechanics. Mixing different weapons and items to create powerful synergies is great too. It's a bummer what this game could have been had it been received better, instead they cut their losses, ended it a season early, and we never saw new mission types. The biggest problem is that the ArkhamVerse simps couldn't handle Batman getting killed by Harley, even though anyone with half a brain could tell that the Brainiac control was what made Batman vulnerable to begin with, obviously the real batman would never have gotten done dirty like that.

Repetitive gameplay loop, cringe jokes, horrible plot. Avoid even when it's on sale.

This game has all the excitement of waiting in line at the DMV, but with more gunfire and less satisfaction. The Justice League isn’t the only thing dying here, so is my interest. Feels like a great DC movie trapped inside a mediocre looter-shooter.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a “I shot Superman in the face and now he’s dead I guess?” simulator and live-service open world action adventure game developed by Rocksteady Games, famously known for the Batman: Arkham franchise with its critically acclaimed gameplay and fantastic comic book-adjacent stories. Following the critical success of Arkham Knight (though with some criticism towards certain plot twists and a frustrating PC port), Rocksteady would pick up development for their own Suicide Squad game after WB Montreal would cancel their own attempt after the development of Batman: Arkham Origins. While there wasn’t really much in the way of details at first about the game, a write-up by famed video game journalist named Jason Schrier would go into detail about the trials and tribulations of the game. During the beginning, Rocksteady would keep the game totally secret for a long time due to pressure to make a live-service game from Warner Bros Executives, alienating potential recruits who wanted to work on single player experiences as well as struggling to meet the perfectionist demands of Rocksteady CEO Sefton Hill. The constant introductions of ideas like customizable vehicles which would get cut and the expectations that “everything would work out in the final stretch” would further kick it into “bad juju” status, and when they reveal that the game would be a live-service game centered around killing the Justice League? Forget it, it would cement its reputation as a solid flop on release. Envisioned as a multi-billion dollar franchise and released as a dud, it would gain the reputation as an all-time stinker that would close down shop less than a year after final release date. I wouldn’t even dare touch it for the most part, though I ended up playing it in the end for a couple of reasons listed below.

My experience with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is as follows: I always felt that the game was going to be a giant disaster due to two different things: the overall premise (killing the Justice League….with guns?) and the live service aspects. While the overall premise I can forgive due to it only being a preview of the game with the hope that maybe it would deliver properly, the live service aspects are something that I’ve always had issues with considering the failure of Marvel’s The Avengers and how the likes of the original Destiny just looked like a boring slog. Getting the general feeling that this game is also going to be a boring slog, I had ignored it for a long time, only ever feeling like I would try it out due to deathly curiosity and if my buddies were to coerce me to play it. However this time, due to the potential for the game to be shut down after an absolutely abysmal failure and out of curiosity, me and my homie SuperGodPunch (shoutout Steve) were the ones to convince our buddies Asian and Brandon to play the title instead starting last November. Now after beating the main story and stopping halfway before acquiring Joker in the season, I have a decent amount of issues I want to throw out that I had with this game, starting with the plot because by god I don’t like it.

Rest of review: https://backloggd.com/u/gamemast15r/review/2715568/

What’s the gameplay like in general then if the plot isn’t super great? Is it fun at all? For the most part it’s alright, though from what I understand there’s varying different levels of fun between the four main villains you choose to play. The one I played was Deadshot, which felt very fluid and well paced as someone who flies around in a jetpack with for the most part pretty solid shooting. Brandon said that Harley Quinn felt solid and would probably be the closest thing to the Batman games while Steve said that King Shark felt great jumping around like he was The Incredible Hulk or something. Asian on the other hand thought that Captain Boomerang felt like ass, and that mainly has to do with his “boomerang teleportation” ability which felt very lackluster in comparison to the others. For the most part those are the main complaints with the other characters, but of course a lot of the other gameplay factors basically feel in-line with other live service titles: you complete repetitive missions (such as saving some of Penguin’s/Rick Flag’s goons, blowing up aliens in flying explosive-timed cars or helping Poison Ivy by protecting her plants) in order to gain access to higher level gear in order to tackle the main missions. At least I think so anyhow, me and the others got the special edition that was on sale for seven dollars or so, so that mixed in with rewards given by Rocksteady there was a lot of difficulty that we kind of bypassed which is honestly the best way to play these games. Otherwise a lot of it is just standalone stuff: you have your skill trees and your “I leveled up all I could on the skill tree so here’s the added bonus stuff that I could level up for a sliver of health/damage” trees, your glorified loot crates, and etcetera. The truth is that a lot of this content blends together so badly (or so well maybe) that I don’t really understand a lot of the extra mission types, what means what, all the U.I. stuff or anything because I feel like they just throw so much information at you that I just end up becoming desensitized and not caring, even when the missions became repetitive or the actual plot (aside from one or two missions that was actually cool). That doesn’t mean that’s always a bad thing, in fact that probably helped me enjoy the game for the time that I played it with the homies, aside from certain issues that actually annoyed me.

Time played: Enough to 100% it

Got the game on sale, and for that price, I’d say it was worth it. Story mode was actually a lot of fun, good pacing, entertaining moments, and solid action. But once that’s done, the endgame kind of falls flat. Very grindy, and it started to feel more like a chore than fun.

I got all the achievements and then dropped it. If you’re into single-player campaigns and can get it discounted, it’s not a bad ride. Just don’t expect the endgame to keep you hooked long-term.

I like the game and the visuals but the frame rate issues kill the game. It becomes so unplayable it's crazy and with a game that's been out this long it's inexcusable. No wonder why it was a flop.

Can I be totally, completely, 100% honest?
I...don't hate this game. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but this is hardly the worst game ever made that I was told. The writing isn't amazing, at all, but it has its moments, Boomerang is pretty funny, but Shark is...just Drax, whether for good or for bad
It's a definite shame that this is the first time we see the Justice League in this universe, because sometimes it's fun and cathartic to just cut loose and be the bad guy. However, I don't think it's fair at all to act like they went out of their way to spit on Kevin Conroy's grave, because no one had any way of knowing he would tragically pass. Hell, he maybe even had fun being an evil Batman - all to say, it's unfortunate Kevin passed, but it's not fair to him, or the game to act like it intentionally slighted him
The gameplay loop is pretty simple - go from place to place, shoot aliens, shoot Justice League members, level up equipment, go kill Brainiac. However, it does make it feel like you see everything the game has to offer pretty quickly. It's not like something like Fortnite that at least has other game modes, jumping and flying around Metropolis and shooting the next thing is where it starts and ends
I speak as someone who hasn't gotten to the stuff with Freeze/Joker/Deathstroke yet, and honestly probably won't because charging for battle passes in a game that I already paid for is pretty scummy, but it's definitely not the worst thing I ever faced, especially not for the $6 I got it for. Would probably be a lot more harsh if I did pay full price, though

The Batman museum stuff though is really cool. That I liked a lot

It's not the worst thing I've ever faced, but there's a reason it only lived for a year

This game has completely ruined an entire franchise for me and I'm genuinely disgusted that this game is even allowed to exist. Anyone who followed the seasonal content as it was being released and bought in to the idea that Rocksteady knew what they were doing with this game deserves to be paid back double for wasting their time on fighting the same boring boss 9 WHOLE TIMES. I hope that Rocksteady goes out of business for good for what they did to Kevin Conroy's legacy. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, EVEN FOR 5 DOLLARS ITS NOT WORTH IT.

This game is utter trash. i got it on sale for 90% off for 8.99 and its still bad. I put in 5 hrs before i uninstalled. There was a bug at the lex corp mission where the obj marker is suppose to tell use where to go and enter a password into a keypad, no marker, couldnt access the keycard after spending like 5 mins looking where to go. Story is very bland, lots of travelling, and the fighting system is very poor. Low shield, doesnt replenish on its own. Overall couldnt even finish the game.

people hate how batman got un alived but get past that this is a GREAT game funny all the way through good dlc anazeing traversal good gun play skill tree i would have my friends play this

It is honest to god terrible, just don't buy it. I only paid $7 and it only got worse as I played and tried to humor it

for 12 bucks, I'm literally on cloud 9.
The game is a story game so its completely story focused so far but I'm liking it. So far I've had one glitch that wasn't game breaking, my bot squad mates went invisible in co-op.
The game rewarded me with numerous excellent items and a free battle pass.
I understand the gripes, for an almost 100$ game. But i got it for 12 bucks, so I'm winning.

Most disappointing game of all time. Core game play is pretty fun but the campaign is short and mostly just the same mission over and over again. Seasons are terrible play the same mission 100x with a different skin on it. If you loved the batman games you will hate this game

This is gonna be controversial, but I love the game. I love the design, the controls, the story, the characters. I don't mind the repetitiveness of this game. The problem is: I literally cannot play the game online anymore due to bugs. I cannot join games, I cannot invite people, I cannot change game mode - basically the game is broken. I started this story with friends, and I am not gonna continue alone. This is just unplayable, I recommend not buying this.

Bro,
The game play is fun tbh. I enjoy looter shooters in general but geez the optimisation is bad. I have played for 2.5 hours and it already crashed about 9 times. If the game didn't crash so much I would actually be able to enjoy it.
Please fix it.

Finished the story mode, it's average at best. Movement is fun, fight are kinda ok for some times but it became boring real fast. I lost motivation at first dlc/scenario.

if you have a few bucks lying around, save more and buy yourself a battlepass for any other game dont invest on this filth. This made me enjoy gotham knights lmao. 1/10 game (1 point because the art team did an amazing job)

I mean its not abysmal for 6 dollars but NEVER pay full price for this, jesus christ.

Buy it on sell, the game is Meh. If you like DC then it might keep you entertained but the gameplay is meh. The cut scenes are good and it's some what funny.

Oh boy. What an absolute mess this game is. It's really unfortunate that Rocksteady couldn't follow up the sensational Arkham series with a fun, co-op, action/adventure Suicide Squad game — instead we got this messy, convoluted, poorly conceived take on the shooter-based live service genre. Like, it's difficult to believe THIS is the same studio that made Batman: Arkham Asylum for Pete's sake!

There are some relatively decent bits here — I especially like the cutscenes and general humour — but anything involving actually playing the video game is just yucky. No mechanic is especially broken but everything is just unnecessarily complicated. The amount of various numbers, damage types, currencies, etc. is hard to keep track of.

I could easily list off a handful of other annoyances too. Side missions that restrict essential gameplay mechanics? Check. Spoken radio dialogue that never, ever stops? Check. Lame, unexciting boss fights? Check. Unneeded and especially drawn out post-game content? Check. I really hope Rocksteady puts this game behind them and gets back to business because... yeesh.

Surprised people were even able to play this pile of garbage, the game literally just crashes from me simply trying to load into the tutorial section after all 4 characters get introduced

Only spent 7 bucks, but am still feeling scammed and want my money back. What happened to you, Rocksteady? :(

Game crashed more than the Batmobile hitting a wall.
Story? Meh. Not bad, not great, it was like eating plain pasta without sauce. I liked the main Squad (shoutout to shark), but the rest of the heroes and villains? Felt like NPCs on their day off.

Gameplay? Everyone feels like a reskinned version of the same character. “Oh look, a different gun... that does the same thing.” Abilities were so similar I thought I was playing a co-op mirror mode.

I didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Emotionally, I was on airplane mode the whole time.

Would I recommend it? Only if your PC enjoys crashing as a hobby.

I purchased this game for $5 with the intent of enjoying a "bad" game with a friend; the kind of game that is "so bad it's good" as I was led to believe by screenshots of the game holding 300 or less concurrent players. I had seen the memes of the incomprehensible UI, the numbers bloat, all of it. $5 to experience that, have a few laughs with a friend, and uninstall? It was too good a deal to pass up.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a game that surprised, delighted, and disappointed me, in that order. Surprised because it was not as bad as I was led to believe. Delighted because moving across the rooftops of Metropolis slaying groups of enemies was fun. Disappointed because I had been lied to. The realization set in that I was not in fact playing a bad game, but one that was just... fine. I hesitate to call Suicide Squad a bad game, but I still chose to give it a negative review for this simple reason: Aside from the traversal of the open world, it does not do anything better than other games in the genre. Suicide Squad does not have the gunplay of Destiny, the loot of Diablo, the humor of Borderlands, and it runs like shit. It manages to stumble its way to relevance (for a lack of a better term) on the strength of its intellectual property and the name of the legendary studio that developed the Batman Arkham trilogy. The game only managed to keep me playing for as long as I did because I wanted to get all of the achievements.

Suicide Squad departs from the Arkham formula of enclosed arenas versus various villains and goons who hold different weapons and abilities which the player must adapt to by using everything in Batman's toolbelt. It exchanges this for an open environment where multiple players are able to move quickly and freely in all directions; a style of game that is not befit for the Arkham formula as the player immediately feels more powerful and balancing the game becomes more difficult. Rocksteady's chosen solution was to add modifiers to missions such as enemies only taking damage from critical hits or grenades. The problem is that the challenging aspect of the combat from the Arkham games is not restored but it is now just easy AND annoying. It is not fun to be unable to use my weapons and traversal attacks because of modifiers which are meant to artificially create difficulty. Fortunately, if you manage to get through the story, this problem is alleviated in what endgame content I've played and the limiting modifiers are not present. There is some fun to be had here with seeing the Justice League and Brainiac as villains in a video game, the different mission types, and traversing Metropolis as previously mentioned. I could even argue that there is value in being able to play as characters that are not typically given a spotlight. However, the limited bright spots that this game contains are bogged down by a gameplay loop and systems that fail to live up to those that have come before it. It is for these reasons that I feel like my time with this game was time wasted.

It is unfortunate because Rocksteady are a team of talented devs who made a trilogy of Batman games that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best Batman movies. I know that they are capable of making a return to form and will continue to deliver incredible games. I hope that this misfire was the result of out-of-touch suits who will now think twice before they force live service onto games that have no need for it. Let the devs cook.

Money would've been better spent on a burger. The burger would've been more fun and entertaining.

Pretty good game, I love the cut scenes and the visuals, and the motion capture is amazing. However, I am not interested in doing the same thing in this game 12 more times, especially if I have to buy a battle pass or whatever. Near the end game, I couldn't even tell what was happening, I think I beat the brain maniac boss or whatever by pure luck. Some people may love this game play loop enough to play 300 hours, but it's not my jam. I generally do not play live service games, but my single player experience with this game was pretty good.

Tried to like it, but it's just too much like a dreadful Live-service game. Too much focus on allowing 4 player co-op, not enough on actually making the game interesting or fun. The cutscenes are very well made, the story seems ok for what little I saw, but the voice acting sounds like an amateur improv team doing their "best" impressions, just lacks any semblance of professionalism from top to bottom. The gameplay feels janky like Saints Row, just not one of the good ones. Even the initial loading screen is bland and lifeless. The game probably could have been decent had they dropped the whole co-op play and focused on the single player angle instead. Oh well only paid around $9, well within the throwaway range.

Having a hard time finding anything redeeming enough to make me want to play more. If your curious, buy it on sale, it's just meh.
