Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

I've had an IMDb account for over 6 years and have never left a review, and having just beaten this game, I felt like this would be fitting.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a mediocre game, it's not as bad as some are suggesting, the characters control well, the gunplay is better than I expected and there are some genuinely fun moments to be had here, but as a package, when you compare this to Rocksteady's previous Arkham trilogy, it leaves a lot to be desired.

The story is serviceable, though it should not have taken place in the 'Arkhamverse', as from a continuity standpoint it does not flow well from the Arkham games, and one could make a compelling case that the events of this game diminish and de-value the events of the previous Arkham games.

The biggest issue this game faces though is the gameplay, missions are extremely repetitive and some of the side-missions impose certain modifiers like grenade only kills or having to shield harvest enemies, these are extremely annoying and are sometimes insta-fail, as the game won't spawn enemies you can shield harvest or drop grenades - it feels like minimal, if any playtesting was done here.

I would not recommend paying full price here, I could only ever recommend you consider this game when on-sale or if a steep discount is available, and being that this game is an always online, games as a service, the servers could be shut down at any moment, should WB games deem it to be economically unviable to continue supporting this game.

The developer (Rocksteady) has outlined post-launch content and promised at some point in 2024, there will be an offline mode, but these are just promises, and as we've seen with live-service games before, if the player base falls and the game isn't selling well, even this might not come to fruition.

Rocksteady and WB Games have sunk to a new low. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the worst game of the year. Not just because it's a live service game or that the gameplay is buggy. It disrespects Kevin Conroy's legacy and his role as Batman. And extremely bad sendoff to an actor who has voiced the character for 30+ years. And the rest of the Justice League, they hired the right actors to voice the right characters in the wrong game. They should be using DCAU actors. Brainiac's design was also pure stupidity. The story is what really adds insult to injury. To love, enjoy and defend this game is to have a death wish.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League by Rocksteady is a travesty, a pitiful excuse for a game. They didn't just fail Batman; they mercilessly butchered the Dark Knight's legacy. The storytelling is an incoherent mess, and the way they handled Batman's demise is an insult to every fan who invested in this franchise. Rocksteady managed to strip away the essence of what made Batman great and turned it into a mockery. Spare yourself the agony and don't waste a dime on this pathetic excuse for a game. Batman deserved better, and so do you.

DONT BUY THIS GAME GAMEPLAY IS WORST STORY IS WORST AND THIS GAME IS DISAPPOINTING

dont waste your money.

I'd rate Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League a 6/10 overall. While the game has its moments, it falls short in some key areas. The gameplay is solid-I'd give it a 7/10. It's fast-paced and fun, but nothing groundbreaking. The story, however, is just a 5/10. It feels generic and lacks the emotional depth you'd expect from a game featuring such iconic characters.

Speaking of characters, they're the highlight for me, and I'd rate them a 7.3/10. They're entertaining, but King Shark's dialogue was super cringe and took me out of the experience at times. On top of that, the blatant disrespect of Batman was just not cool. For such a legendary character, the way he was handled felt unnecessary and disappointing.

Overall, this game is definitely overhated-it's not terrible, but it doesn't live up to its potential. If you go in with tempered expectations, you might still have some fun with it.

I am so disappointed in Rocksteady. For a company that is known for taking pride in there game's does not show here, Suicide Squad is unfinished and unplayable. Every mission I complete puts me in a frozen loading Metropolis screen or will load me completely off the map in blackness and I can not play unless I go to the checkpoint that was made before the last, with means I can't even finish the game if I wanted to. Not to mention the gameplay being extremely repetitive and boring. I'm a huge of the first 3 Arkham games, but I can say now Suicide Squad has done nothing but kill the Arkham verse.
