Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Review Summary

WeakCritic Consensus

Repetitive missions

Lacks endgame depth

Live-service model detracts from experience

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a co-op looter-shooter with live-service elements set in an open world where players take on the role of iconic DC villains. Critics have appreciated its fast-paced, chaotic combat and character-driven humor. However, the game has been criticized for repetitive missions and a lack of depth, especially in its endgame content. While some enjoy the dynamic action, others feel it falls short of the quality expected from developer Rocksteady, making the game feel more like a trend-follower than a leader.

Critic Reviews for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a welcome addition to co-op looter-shooters, and while its live-service aspects may turn some away, it’s friendly enough, and promising enough, to newcomers to the genre. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League doesn’t have the triumphant flair of the Batman: Arkham series, but the game deserves a fair chance for those who enjoy the worlds of DC Comics and exhilarating gameplay loops because Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League shows what fun a co-op game should be.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a repetitive and bland looter-shooter that, despite an engaging story, never stays fun for long enough.

Rocksteady's talent is so evident in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it almost overcomes the terrible decision to try and make it.

I'm optimistic about what Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League can become, but let down by what it is now.

I didn’t hate Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaague, but that’s only because it’s hard to feel anything too strongly about a game like this. This might be the most rinse and repeat a game of this stature has ever rinsed and repeated, and the fact it delivers good interpretations (though not Arkham accurate) of established characters is its only saving grace. With each new bundle of content likely to be low on narrative and chock full of the same missions (probably with a new name that play exactly the same way), it feels like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is only going to get worse from here.

"All told, Rocksteady has delivered a dependable, if unspectacular third-person shooter"

Suicide Squad is technically sound, and the action can be fast, frantic, and occasionally fun. The game could be considered a deconstruction and satirizing of the superhero concept. But for me, the whole thing feels mean-spirited, pessimistic, and glib. In other media, I’ve generally liked the irreverence of the Suicide Squad tales, but everything in this game feels less about laughs and more just joyless. I suppose it can be fun to piss all over any sense of genuine heroism in a comic book-inspired tale, but it can’t come as a great shock when some fans like myself just aren’t interested in the bloody and smug results.

Rocksteady's first game in nearly a decade can't shake the superhero-as-a-service genre's ubiquitous feeling that it exists to keep players mindlessly engaged.
