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.

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.

It's over the top, and it lacks real direction and flow.

The story feels just pieced together from random ideas and the mini boss parts come and go quicker than you are ready for.

It's chaotic and not something to sit and enjoy.

Also as the game nears the end, it becomes more chaotic, a massive step up in intensity that you are not quite prepared for and is not suited to a casual gamer.

Anyone who enjoyed the Arkham series needs to go into this with the Arkham series completely out of their mind. Plus the way the end some of the mini boss stages are just unnecessary and seems forced.

This game also makes Gotham Knights seem not so bad.

9 years for a 9 hour game?

Really wish i knew what they were doing with all their time.

The writing and story is mediocre at best and disrespectful to source material at worst.

The combat is good, the movement needs tweaking, but otherwise it's a fun arcade-y third person looter shooter.

Gameplay loop is repetitive and tedious. Go here, escort/kill/protect/destroy, cutscene, repeat - sometimes they throw in modifiers like "grenades only" or "crit damage only)

The graphics are good, the music is good, the performances are really good despite the bad writing given to them.

Another money grab live service game, not worth the 70-100+usd price tag. You can buy better looter shooters for half the price.

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.

To start, I don't normally review games, but I love to play them. So please bear with me . As everyone else, I was skeptical when purchasing this game. But I'm glad I did. True, this does not have the same fight mechanics as the Arkham series, but it is a pretty decent third person shooter. It does take a second to get used to some of the controls, but once you do, it can be pretty fun.in addition, to the fun of playing this game, the cut scenes are pretty fun too! They definitely keep you laughing the way the team interacts. I did write it at a 7 though because I will agree that some of the missions are monotonous. But it's also nice that you can swap between the characters and see who you prefer. If you still are in the fence to play this game, you should give it a go. Please don't let others make the decision for you. Give this game a shot.

Yeah that's right the game is quite fun I have played it and liked it don't let all the reviews fool you. I really don't know why there is so much hate for this game. I would say give it a chance before giving your ultimatum. It's not a masterpiece but neither a trash game that media is showing it. You gotta play it to understand that. Each character has a different feeling. The story is way better then most of the games out there. Game runs smooth on my xbox series s didn't faced any technical glitches. Yeah there were few on launch but that has been fixed. I had fun hope you guys give it a shot.

Thats what i did not expect about , i feel like i am playin fortnite or agents of mayhem ! The gameplay is not good at all i hated it , i didnt feel like its actually a "shooting game" The story is not interesting also. What makes the game good is only the feedback haptic of my dualsense.

I am glad that i did not waste my money on it and i will be requesting a refund because the game is not what i have expected. Only the graphics that are good and look realistic, other wise do not expect nothing more because you will be disappointed. I wish if warner bros was the one who have developed it instead of rocksteady.

So, Rocksteady was a famous gaming studio for developing our childhood games from early 2010's era? Let's break it down, shall we?

In late 2009, Arkham Asylum became a huge and critical success and considered as one of the greatest superhero games of all time. 2 years later, Arkham City has improved so much than Asylum, it has the best gameplay, open world, side missions, characters, soundtrack, jaw dropping plot twist, and ending. It was perfect, it won lots of GOTY awards and critics considered that City is the best in the series. Back-to-back masterpieces, Rocksteady is on fire, and they decided to make a final installment, Arkham Knight. Knight was a critical success, despite the predictable story and overuse of the Batmobile.

9 years later, Rocksteady, or I should say, "Lamesteady," screws everything up. When we saw the trailer and the gameplay of SSKTJL, this is not exact same as the previous installments. I thought we're going to play as Batman, but the game forces you to play one of the SS members. And basically, you can simply take down the JL superheroes by spamming bullets. This is not what we ask for, I'm not going to play a copy and paste game from Fortnite to shoot nothing but enemies and bosses to win. And they say this game is canon and takes place 5 years later after the events of Knight. Oh, really? The last 3 games were stealth and combat genre and this "looter shooter" game is canon after the events of Knight? Yeah, I don't think so.

Now the whole world hates Lamesteady because they had the gall to take a piss on Batman's corpse/Kevin Conroy's grave and disrespected Conroy's legacy for 30 years. How pathetic, Batman lost to the Suicide Squad. Nobody can take out the World's Greatest Detective. And that, my friends, is a giant middle finger from Lamesteady and an insult to the Arkham fans or Batman fanboys.

I guarantee this game isn't canon. Deadshot was a white guy back in Arkham Origins and City, but how is he black in this game? And we all thought Joker died in City, but he's alive somehow in this game. None of this makes any sense and this makes me laugh my lungs out. Besides, Lamesteady could have brought back Mark Hamil (voice of Arkham Joker), but they decided not to. The new voice actor for Joker had an abysmal performance. You're telling me that you brought back Conroy, but not Hamil for this final trainwreck installment? Uh... wow. I'm not surprised, but I'm a little disappointed.

If I were you, I would pretend this didn't exist and it's not part of the Arkham universe. They made 3 games with successful sales wise and SSKTJL killed the franchise. Go back and play the Arkham Trilogy just like the good old days and I promised it will make you feel better.

If you think my review isn't that helpful, then something's wrong with you. This is the end of the era, ladies and gents. Ciao!

Personally I liked it. I thought the gameplay was a lot of fun and the visuals and graphics are great. However as the story progresses it gets a bit frustrating for me. To be completely honest, the concept and idea of killing the Justice League mind controlled by Brainiac is interesting and makes for a good story. However the execution and pacing of it all didn't really fit, and it felt pretty underwhelming and anticlimactic. By the second half of it, it felt pretty rushed. My biggest issue with the story is that it takes place in the Arkhamverse. The story would've been better it was a separate universe. If you are a fan of DC or the Batman: Arkham games, SSKTJL might just make you mad. If you're not really a hardcore DC or Arkham fan, I think you'll probably have a better time with the story than me. By the end of the game, I was left with this bittersweet taste in my mouth that didn't sit right with me. On a more positive note, the actual gameplay mechanics itself actually surprised me. The story may not have been that great but I found myself having an absolute blast playing these 4 characters and doing missions. It gets repetitive at times sure, but for me I never really got tired or sick of it I was having that much fun. This game is not gonna be for everybody and that's fine. For me, it's good. I don't believe this game deserves all the hate it gets. As a video game I loved it, as a story I did not.

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.
