The gaming community finally gets Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which for the first time will feature well-known villains disguised as superheroes against well-known heroes that this time the player fights disguised as villains.

Note: The publisher and development team deliberately did not provide review copies of the game to avoid negative reviews and for fear that it would affect player demand, and this is one of the main reasons for the delay in reviewing.

Rocksteady has released its new game Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League after a series of delays. Has it managed to give players patience after Batman's absence from the scene?

The Rocksteady team is known for delivering well-driven narrative games, but with Suicide Squad, they turned to a new genre called looter shooter with a fast-paced combat system. In our review below, we'll find out whether the team's decision to make this change was a good one or not.

After delivering the popular Batman trilogy adventure, Rocksteady shifted its focus from story-driven games to the online shooter genre with Suicide Squad, which pits players against villains disguised as heroes battling what were once heroes disguised as villains.

To enjoy Suicide Squad, you must forget the past!

If you want to enjoy the Suicide Squad game experience and stay away from everything that has been said about it, you should forget the past, specifically forgetting the Batman trilogy, which had a rainy and heavy atmosphere, a dark and strong story and influential central characters. To make things a little clearer, the game is not as bad as it is said here and there. Instead, you should just give it a chance, as it can satisfy your desires a lot.

To experience the game at its best, you should think of it as an online game, offering a not-so-bad 4-player experience, as well as good humor, sarcastic commentary, and fast-paced gunplay. This may not seem like a huge change, but think of the game from that perspective and you’ll find that it has something to keep the player engaged.

Fast-paced action vs. fast-paced cutscenes!

One of the things that makes shooters competitive is the cinematic cutscenes. The Rocksteady team managed to master this element and make the cutscenes fast and understandable for the players. On the other hand, the movement of the characters was fast and the enemies were in almost every direction and place, and this is where the player's focus appears.

Gameplay Style: The most prominent feature of the gameplay style is the regular missions, some of which are more linear and others require you to search and explore. Most importantly, they are tied to the story and do not stray too far from the events and atmosphere, and this constantly keeps the player from getting distracted.

One of the annoying things about the game is the repetition, which greatly affected the quality and even killed many parts of the story. All of the game's missions are completely devoid of the element of creativity. Kill 20 people, follow the bus or accompany it, save a group of hostages, etc. This system is in this type of game called A1, which means very direct.

In fact, the game world is dead and boring, and with repetitive tasks, the player will not continue playing for long. What's worse is that there are many communication problems that cut off the player's environment and prevent him from continuing for long. In other words, your patience will run out!

There is one simple positive that can override all the negatives mentioned, which is the ability to quickly search for other players and play with them in a group of 4 players. We conclude here that the real fun of the game and its true essence lies in playing with other people, although it is a step that does not always work out and requires a subscription to PS Plus or Game Pass on home consoles, that is, an increase in expenses, so to speak.

Shoot fast and accurately!

The game's combat system is another positive point of the game, the control is impeccable and the battles with enemies are very fast and fun. Regardless of the type of weapon used or the character you play, you will find this element fun in any case.

Each character in the game has their own fighting methods, their own weapons and special abilities. Even the movement mechanism of all the characters is different from each other. For example, Dead Shot can move through special jets on his back, while the character Harley Queen uses a grappling hook and so on.

Some characters use fast combat using rapid-fire weapons, other characters move very slowly, but the development team is kind to players' choices and tastes in the end.

Although there are differences in the characters in terms of appearance, weapons and combat system, the shooting or aiming is similar for all of them, and this makes it difficult to really differentiate the characters and their styles. One of the recurring negative points is the chaos of the battles that occur suddenly and without warning, which leaves the player confused and not knowing exactly for a few moments. What is he doing?

The chaos is very annoying, especially with the fast pace of the game, and sometimes the ambiguity of the tasks makes you feel for a moment that the game has no real purpose. Even when you complete the requirements of a task, you will feel lost and without clear directions. This issue bothered me a lot and made me repeat many tasks to advance in the game.

Good game, but there are big problems!

The Rocksteady team has shown that developing service games is never easy, especially with so much support for them with post-launch content for a long period of time. The decision to develop this type of game by the team was a bad one, unfortunately, and if they had continued with the old approach known by history, it would have been better for them.

It's strange to see such obvious flaws in the game, even though it's been delayed more than once in order to further refine and work on it. In fact, it takes years for live service games to avoid the obvious flaws of Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League.

That's not to say the game isn't good, just that it lacks the substance that makes it understandably cohesive rather than extremely chaotic, but that doesn't stop it from providing entertainment every now and then.

Good graphics despite the almost empty world!

Speaking of the game's graphics, they were very good, and managed to stand out, even if just a little, compared to current-generation games, even though its world was relatively empty compared to the Batman games, which were full of vitality, lights, and incredible details, while the focus was on the character design with their details and costumes. To a certain extent.
