Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Review

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League reviewed by Simon Cardy on PlayStation 5, also available on Xbox Series X/S and PC.
"Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a thoroughly frustrating game to play. There are things to enjoy here, with combat that’s snappy enough to carry it through a genuinely good DC comics story artfully dressed in high production values. But everything else just falls down around it. Engaging mission design is nearly non-existent, the looter-shooter mechanics are tired and dull, and the grotesquely-repetitive postgame leaves little-to-nothing to do of interest. The result is a bit of a mess that doesn't ever impress with any of its numerous ill-conceived ideas."

[@chuggyman5606]

@@neurololzthis. Everyone seems to forget the massive backlash rocksteady faced when Arkham Knight launched. The red flags were planted in 2015. Everyone wants to put on rose tinted glasses and pretend the original Arkham trilogy was flawless. the reality is that rocksteady faced many criticisms with Arkhm Knights launch. Everyone was disappointed how much Batmobile gameplay there was, everyone was disappointed how bad the boss fights were after coming off City and Origins, everyone hated the predictable twist, and the game launched with a $60 season pass that everyone heavily criticized, saying it was the same price as the base game. Rocksteady promised everyone it would be worth the price. And how did this turn? We got a 10 minute red hood dlc, a 10 minute Harley Quinn dlc, a 90 minute batgirl campaign and a 20 minute mister freeze side mission.

[@thelegendoftheo]

Let this be a warning to ALL devs and publishers. If you have an IP that's beloved by fans, milking it with using games of service style, looter shooter setups is a BAD idea. If it feels like a stretch for the IP, it probably is. Avengers, Suicide Squad, Gotham Knights all games that should have been incredible. All disappointments. Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, the original Arkham Series. That's how ya do it.

Tbf braniac is a justice league level threat unlike joker so it’s not that much of a stretch to say he pulled it off. Still don’t like it though it’s total character assassination.

[@SONYBOYZ8081]

Idk man joker caused an entire injustice storyline. I’d say he’s a tier below brainiac depending on how he’s written and his motivation. But brainiac also shouldn’t be this “powerful” that an irreversible mind control spans across 13 multiverse previously not known until earths2 luther (whose superman should’ve died prior to the JSA formation which at least a 10-15 year gap so why is brainiac even there) lol seems a little silly

[@lazersoupe]

I'm not gonna argue fictional power levels but having batman overcome a physical/ biological affliction in the previous narrative only to then succumb to the exact same thing and not overcome it seems at odds to the overall narrative. The Joker taking over at the end of Knight was foreshadowed as an unstoppable calamity yet this game tells us he could have been stopped by some goons. The Suicide squad used fear toxin to defeat him yet that same thing didn't help Scarecrow? The narratives run completely counter to each other.

Greedy executives force their terrible ideas on the developers, developers have no choice but to make a shitty game. Game does poorly and developers are laid off. Rinse and repeat

[@Warship63]

And they have the audacity to charge $99 for a deluxe edition.

[@Thatdeal79]

How many are gonna be playing this game pretending to like it when they really hate it just to spite IGN. 😂

[@reizak8966]

Who has time for that??

[@brunofloresarmas8971]

This is a great game, you just need to understand that it’s not an old great Batman rocksteady game and it was never meant to be one. It looks great, it is smooth, combat is great

[@casualgamer09-]

Should’ve made a Superman game instead of another Fortnite 😂

Everyone seems to forget the massive backlash rocksteady faced when Arkham Knight launched. The red flags were planted in 2015. Everyone wants to put on rose tinted glasses and pretend the original Arkham trilogy was flawless. the reality is that rocksteady faced many criticisms with Arkhm Knights launch. Everyone was disappointed how much Batmobile gameplay there was, everyone was disappointed how bad the boss fights were after coming off City and Origins, everyone hated the predictable twist, and the game launched with a $60 season pass that everyone heavily criticized, saying it was the same price as the base game. Rocksteady promised everyone it would be worth the price. And how did this turn? We got a 10 minute red hood dlc, a 10 minute Harley Quinn dlc, a 90 minute batgirl campaign and a 20 minute mister freeze side mission.

This really does feel like a game they didn't want to make, like it was clearly forced by people from the top.

[@derrickhaggard]

It is because before doing this game the initial pitch was a Batman Beyond game set in the Arkhamverse as a sequel to Arkham Knight using a new variation of the excellent gameplay that was in Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight minus the Batmobile sections to play on the fact Terry is using a futuristic Batsuit but the people from the top forced them to scrap what was going to be called Batman: Beyond Arkham, and make this piece of crap.

Always online, microtransantions, cut content , dlc , boring shooter looter ? 👎👎

[@antfrancis9941]

Could've made a batman game with him trying to take down the suicide squad. & with that maybe introduce green arrow, black canary & the flash to the arkhamverse, setting the foundations for the formation of the justice league in later titles. Just a thought.👍

[@codemiester24]

They could have literally used that idea with the same Arkham formula and we all would have been happy.

[@VersusSEED]

the Copium Squad are not gonna like this

[@adrianwilliams6577]

Wow, IGN aren't just being unkind, Suicide Squad Killed the Justice League is an example of a wasted opportunity, hopefully Rocksteady survives releasing such a lacklustre game.

[@TheFool87]

17 minutes of non-stop ranting and complaint, and yet it still gets a 5 out of IGN 10. So normal note would be 2 or 3 then, which sounds fair.

[@Pontius888]

I'm going to play this in a few months either on sale or free. If it's still online forget it.

[@文武両道-n2b]

me too 😂

[@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii4222]

Why would you play this at all? Are you out of your mind? What a waste of time.

[@Cellardoorkidd]

Nice callout to Control for the shield harvesting mechanic that pre-dates even Doom's implementation and encourages offense being the best defense and forcing engagements. Great game knowledge.

[@Cellardoorkidd]

Time to eat your vegetables, WB

[@theAalwaysWynns]

Why did IGN spend 17 minutes reviewing this garbage? Dude gave the whole synopsis in the intro and spent 15 minutes yacking

[@arcade5335]

The Suicide Squad are basically Guardians of the Galaxy. Deadshot is Star-lord, Harley Quinn is Gamora, Captain Boomerang is Rocket Raccoon, and King Shark is Drax. They just need a fifth person to be Groot

[@rezaqalam482]

GOTG game was better than this game even you only control starlord

[@MrMostAwesome87]

Yeah I'm not playing this. Tekken 8 is ample!

[@Baobao-qf3wv]

hell yea brother
