- 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."
#IGN #Gaming #SuicideSquad - Hry
You know you're screwed when IGN doesn't give you your 7 rating
They didn‘t get early access and a free review code thats why
@@Chris-gw2xg ya that why lol
Right on right on
They don’t like having fun.
@@Chris-gw2xgliterally no one got any of that and all of them say it’s mid
It was rebuilt 3 times within its 7 year development cycle, the corp execs won, and took Rocksteady down with them.
hopefully they get their golden parachutes and are able to afford that new yacht
7 years??🫨
Rocksteady leadership wanted to do a GaaS game ever since Arkham Knight was done, then they bailed when they realized it was going to be garbage
@@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.
What's the concept of looters shooter? What does that mean?
All Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad has done is show us how amazing of a game Arkham Knight really is.
Arkham Knight was as ahead of its time as Red Dead 2 was.
and it was almost insulting seeing Justice league killed by a bunch of Thugs
Not really. Arkham Knight was decent but it wasn’t the gem people remember, especially when it came to the side quests. It was pretty far from Arkham City and Asylum.
@@bizmonkey007well now that this is out we can see how harshly we treated that game
@@bizmonkey007It was better than City and Asylum imo.
Im going to iive my life assuming that Rocksteady's last game was Arkham Knight.
it kinda was. Because the 2 founders of rocksteady left the studio during the production of suicide squad.
They went full Ubisoft, you never go full Ubisoft 😂
I’m gonna have to say Ubisoft games are better than this dumpster fire lol
😂
Tropic thunder. Nice 👍
You you went full fan... you never go full fan...
Ubisoft games CAN be mid tho. This? Really below average
You either die a hero....
Or play this game
@lundgreenscarate5742. And motivate them to make another terrible game
Based
Nolan is a genius
... or get your corpe pissed on by a dickhead
Rocksteady dying for this will be the saddest death of a game developer yet.
What makes it sad?
Being on Life support is basically already dead anyways though
You get what you deserve though.
Biofrost
@@baki484 why would it not be sad? Rocksteady was obviously a great company
Batman resisted the Joker taking over his mind and making him use weapons only to just cave in to Braniac and do exactly that. What a mess.
lol joker his way below brainiac by any means
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.
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
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.
It's not the real Batman you discover in the story that the DNA of each hero has been changed.
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.
Guardians of the galaxy was meh
No one played Gurdians bud
@@marvdatboi about 8 million players did
@marvdatboi you didn't and you missed out. Cope.
guardian was meh too. linear gameplay no endgame content so it doesnt belong to spiderman and batman arkham series
WB’s is out of control with their greed right now.
No more or less than any other company. Having said that, gameplay issues is all Rocksteady. That's not WBs fault.
@@kenjisparksyou’re wrong. WB are the ones who forced this games as a service down their throat. They are talented individuals but, this was not their realm of expertise.
Same
@@iamjavid2587all evidence points to rocksteady pitching this idea, not WB. WB has no reason to command a studio that had a flawless record, a trilogy that set a standard, and created a huge demand for more batman. If rocksteady wanted to make another Batman game? WB would’ve, but the original directors for rocksteady ended it, and pitched this game, then they dipped because they most definitely don’t want to make more DC games.
They need to get rid of their President.
10 bucks for an alternate outfit? Are you out of your f’n mind?
Thats a typical price for these type of games
This game represents everything bad about the gaming industrie these days
You people shitting on this game without even playing it represent the worst part of the gaming industry these days. That and you white males crying because white males you like in games get killed off by women.
Sweet baby inc. And Aneta sarkisean
Captain Shotgun, King Minigun, Harley Pistol, and Deadshot. Such a cool roster.
Best comment.
The squad has had much better members in the past. Bane, Black Adam, Killer croc, Enchantress, killer frost. They should have started off with better members
@@johno1544 Since when we’re Bane and Black Adam members?
@@trollkiller8695 you can google a list of the past squad members its huge. It's been a since at least the 80s might even go farther back than that
@@johno1544 Someone like Black Adam would instantly invalidate literally all other members of something like the Suicide Squad.
What did our generation do to deserve having all our favorite IP's ruined?
It's our generation that's ruining them
Corporate greed
@@YourPalQWERTY
It’s called the games industry getting too big and corporate, so it becomes a ratrace to milk as much money from consumers with the smallest possible amount of effort, just like every other media industry
Truthfully? Everyone that spent tremendous amounts of money on Fortnite. It changed the gaming landscape forever for these companies and unfortunately for the worse.
Rocksteady lived long enough to see themselves become the villain.
It's so pathetic that a game that takes place in Metropolis still has to shove more Batman references down our throat more than Superman references. You won't see Spider-man characters shoved into the Wolverine game
Cause plenty of people like Wolverine and Wolverine and Spider Man are no where near as close as Batman and Superman.
This is a great point
DC only knows 3 things milk Batman, Joker, and Harley Quinn. This is why Marvel is beating DC in every department.
You mean like how Gotham knights had more references to batman than the four actual main characters combined?
5/10 y’all
THANKS! DUDE WENT ON TOO LONG..
Thank you brother. Your'e the true hero!
Yikes. Lower than avengers….
This review was so biased. Ign still salty because they didn't get a review code. This isn't even the same dude that normally does the reviews.
@@KILLAWATTS804Your poor non-existent attention span.
When even IGN wont give you a 7. It speaks a lot of this game.
And they still over praised it
They don't get the code bonus
Have any of you actually played it though?
Be ur own critic this game is sick
@Shaunymac10 yeah it's a lot of fun actually. Not arkham but a lot of fun
you are screwed when IGN gives you a 5/10 and makes a 17 minute review
An IGN 5 = an actual 3…. Ouch, stay away from this one if even IGN can’t make excuses for how bad it is
Sorry to say this but a few months from now we're gonna hear about layoffs
Oh 100% especially after all those who refunded the game?
Closure
Luckily most of the biggest talent already left
Very likely especially in the industry right now.
And clearance sales
You can’t tell me rocksteady actually made this game without a gun against there head by WB, all of this screams corporate greed, and rocksteady were probably making a Superman game but WB said no and forced them to make this that embodies everything wrong with games, including sweet baby inc
The people who made the games we loved are probably long gone. This is the new incompetent dev team. similar to what happened with Dice and BF2042.
How many times does the rumor about them attempting a Superman game have to be debunked for you guys to finally realize it was never going to happen? It has already been proven by Rocksteady that that game was never pitched by them at any point. Suicide Squad looks atrocious though and it definitely feels like corporate greed is the reason for it's existence.
Rocksteady was never working on or pitched a Superman game. it was just a rumor
It must be the case right?
Look at Arkham knight dev team pics vs suicide squad dev team pics…
Remember- this dumpster fire is only canon if you buy it.
The fact that all the characters have guns is a reference to how every rocksteady developer were forced to make this game with a gun to their heads.
🙄
What a waste of 6 years rocksteady. Very disappointed 👎
9 years
After this. They won't be steady with the layoffs now.
@@louiseeniar13lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@mohamad-abdo6 years of development
did ya excpect a Batman game then?
5/10 seems a little generous.
Tell us how you really feel, IGN.
Should've been 3
I’ve played it for around 20 hours and it’s not that low, a 7 at least
Seems fair to me 🤷♂️
A seven? What's wrong with you. 5 seems more then enough for this garbage @@WILLINGLYWILD
Justify why to you its 7 and what is considered a 3 lol@INDIGOWILD2025
How is no one talking about the fact that Rocksteady killed the BatFamily offscreen
how is it conceivably possible that Rocksteady did not learn from The Avengers? How did they possibly think they would do better creating the same game only with a less popular comics license?
development was probably already too far along by the time Avengers bombed.
Superman and Batman alone are more popular than the entirety of Marvel comics and roaster of hero’s
@@divineboi97Batman maybe but idk if Superman is at this point in time
@@divineboi97 avengers game flopped when marvel cinematic universe was at its peak. Everyone was in awe of avengers endgame. He has a point.
@@justsumguy8193 the Avenger debacle was in 2020, over 3 years ago. Enough time to rethink and change stuff.
Can’t believe this game is worse than Gotham Knights. Rocksteady has fallen so low.
We don't talk about that game anymore. 😐
They got the same rating
Nope it's not
It really isn’t though. This has more thought put into it than people think. Definitely more than GK.
@@samuelgreen8970 yes it is
This game is bloody $114.95 here in Australia
lol wow. Imagine spending that much for a mediocre experience not to mention short
Welp
This game should have been free to play
Probably gonna see this on the game pass wait a minute Probably not 😂

Insomniac's Spider-Man: Makes you FEEL like Spider-Man.

Well, in this case it’s very simple. They made a game nobody wanted.
Imagine a rocksteady game where the riddler trophies are the highlight
Gotham Knights = 5/10
Suicide Squad kill the Justice League = 5/10

WB really had one of the best single-player developers in the industry under their umbrella and they forced them to make a crappy online shooter to grift their fans, I'm so done with modern gaming
This truly was one of the games of all time. It had graphics. It had characters. It had sound. Truly a game that now exists
So this game is gonna be free to play in a month or they gonna do an EA and abandon the project like Anthem.
F2P? Servers will be gone inside 3 months.
They gave it a deserved 5/10
3 max
Not deserved. Its a great game
Thanks
Too low
@@ilayerez1repetitive nonsense
Who wanted this game? This game’s fate was obvious a year ago: failure.
Shark using Green Lantern's ring tells you no one did supervisor this project. Hot fuming garbage.
The only cool thing about this game is probably the game's cover.
King shark is cool too, he's the only one that actually shows respect to the heroes despite being a villain.
The only game cool game thing about game is this game is probably the game game’s gaming cover.
Spoken from someone that doesn’t even own or has played the game 😂
That is a neat cover with the composition of the four characters aligning with the four rays of the X formed by the words SUICIDE SQUAD which is the alternate name for Task Force X.
Cover art is a ripoff from The Boys' comic book cover
There’s a whole new game. IGN: Kill The Suicide Squad😂😂😂
They should have made Batman Beyond game instead.
Or a proper Justice League game
well wb monterial was and rocksteady was making a superman game, and wb forced them to make sushi squad and gotham knights
Or maybe make any other dc character.
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.
Sounds like a giant battle pass
because it is
its literally fortnite dlc
They should have gotten a 4 out of 10 for how they treated the Justice League by giving them death scenes that were tasteless and disrespectful.
They are getting killed by VILLIANS
It IS below average!😅
Indeed bro, this game is a joke, ain't no way the suicide squad can kill the justice league.
Story is fine
They couldn't even get unique villains with different fighting styles
Rocksteady legitimately thought that not giving reviewers early copies was gonna spread positivity about their game
Should've gave it a 3/10 instead
Yeah
no
a 5 is fair. Just because you dont like the game doesnt mean it should get a 3. The game has its qualities even its not much fun and lacking in a lot of areas.
Have you played it yourself, it’s better than avengers, I’d give it a 7-8
Should’ve given it a 4 because it’s 4 player coop.
Shareholders Squad
Whoever at WB had the idea to make a combination of the Avengers game and Crackdown 3 and then have it star a bunch of D-list characters should be fired.
1:15
I’ll say one thing in defence of Avengers. Regardless of how boring the combat was, at least they gave a sense of identity and originality for each character in both combat and traversal rather than just giving them guns and telling them to go mad.
At this point, just let Insomniac make superhero games.
Nah. Then every game will just be like spiderman. Wolverine looks exactly like spiderman gameplay wise.
@@georgehernandez2156what's so wrong with that

😂😂😂
Did you guys take away the poster image so we can see the score at the end by hovering our cursor? Because if you did, that would be kinda lame lol
"... characters all reduced to the same blueprint" This is where Avengers at least got it right, and this game's biggest turn-off for me.
Some people owe Destin an apology.
No
Some people owe Kevin Conroy and the Arkham community an apology
Destin is a chode.
Destiny owes destiny an apology
No we don’t.
Just over a year at best before it's delisted from all game stores and the servers are turn off..mark my words..
How long until it shows up on game pass 🤔
This is a wait for PS Plus/ Game Pass game.
Ill never forget that you gave alien isolation a 6
Rocksteady sold their soul and chose quantity over quality. These companies that inject looter/gear mechanics into games that shouldn't have them don't understand, it doesn't matter if you intend to keep putting out content if all the content is half baked with zero creativity, no one will want to play it months down the line
If this game was it's own universe people would still be mad how this game disrespected the deaths of the justice league, but wouldn't care as much since it's own thing. But no this game had to be set in ghe Arkham verse. What a waste
Yeah I'm not playing this. Tekken 8 is ample!
hell yea brother
This is this years Forspoken. Actually it has a lower score then Forspoken, 63% on metacritic and it’s bound to go down 😂
More like this year's Redfall.
@@collectingmemoriesytnah, it is not that atrocious. Forspoken it is.
Wow. Even IGN can barely defend this game. That says so much of how far Rocksteady has fallen. Where even a company like IGN would give this game a mediocre score.
RockSteady's Agents of Mayhem.
5 is to much
7 years for this?...wow, talk about wasted time. They better go back to what brought them success after this disaster, please don't even attempt to turn it around, just move on.
9 years, isn't it? Arkham Knight was their last game and that was 2015.
@@ashleythomas4112 Yeah but development started 2 years after Arkham Knight released, from what I've heard.
Move on? 😂
They're dead. Time for layoff and shut down.
@@kg888that’s a bit extreme, the game isn’t even bad
@@OhWell914 Oh OK, fair enough, so it was 7 years of dev time.
Always online, microtransantions, cut content , dlc , boring shooter looter ? 👎👎
Just remember most of the team that was rocksteady of old is gone and the 2 founders started a new studio.
Any games going forward won’t be what fans want
What's the skin Harley is using?
Time to eat your vegetables, WB
I'm convinced that on steam, warner bros got a bunch of bot accounts because it says very positive and it's not like people are memeing on steam.
Most of the actual reviews state that they'd rather play Gotham Knights then this pile of crap.
Why the hell did they give Captain Boomerang guns?
For context, 7/10 is IGN's polite way of saying one star. Anything below that is a zero or negative score and means they absolutely hate it.
Deserves lower than that, but a 5 is better than a 6.
Rocksteady should really make a TMNT game instead of a bunch of villains getting together to save the world.
Rocksteady should stay away from some IPs, period. The actual team that created the arkham series left and made a new studio. Those guys should be the ones that handle IPs like that.
@@psychophet6776 it's no wonder why the game was so disrespectful. What name do they go by now?
@PeanutButterAndJellyBros Hundred Star games or studios, I'm pretty sure, but not entirely. Also, just so you know, Sweet Baby Inc. was involved in some of the games writing (most likely the death scenes and who dies in what way) so the current Rocksteady team and WB don't exclusively share blame
@@PeanutButterAndJellyBrosthis is sort of true. This game has been in development since 2017 the founders left a little over a year ago. This game was made by the original team. They started Hundred Star Games.
Also the internet somehow turned the founders leaving to the entire studio but its legit like 2 people.
Suicide Squad is a great idea for a game but this is a pathetic attempt at it, and disrespectful to the source material anyways
Im over here like the emperor " Yes..Yes...let your hate flow through you!"
This Garbage makes Gotham Knights look like Arkham City
I'm going to play this in a few months either on sale or free. If it's still online forget it.
me too 😂
Why would you play this at all?
Are you out of your mind?
What a waste of time.
In all honesty this game should have taken Rocksteady 2 years to make and cost $15-30. For what it is, they really missed screwed the pooch both from development time, and subsequent price tag. The fact that they prob made multiple different games over a 7 year period to end up with a minimal product is jaw dropping. Can we please remove Harley Quinn from the Batman universe going forward, she has zero redeeming qualities. Jar Jar Binks with pigtails.
This
ok the rest is agreeable but the harley quinn comment is unneeded lmao she’s a staple character for suicide squad and DC in itself
@Robert-rm9dgsaid someone who's never read a single comic since 2000
@Robert-rm9dg Not really he's absolutely right as of around 2011 in the comics she is 100% the leading character with the suicide squad and easily one of the most popular characters in DC, never been a fan personally but there's no denying she's popular as hell.
And they have the audacity to charge $99 for a deluxe edition.
To he frustrating part in terms of combat, is that the characters could easily have been desogned around their stengths instead of forcing them to all use firearms.
Harley could've been melee+ dexterity. Shark melee+defense. Boomerang ranged+dexterity and Deadshot ranged + defense. It would've gone a long way to helping them feel very distinct.
You guys gave marvels avengers a 6. But this got a 5? Avengers was definitely a much worst game then this was, only reason it got a lower score then what it should gotten which is a 6 was because yall didn't get the early code.
Different people reviewed both games. One person's 6 can be another person's 5 or lower. It's a dumb argument to try and justify it by blaming the no review codes.
A 5? Damn thats generous.
Damn you know the games bad when IGN is criticizing a AAA game.
Rocksteady sacrificed their legacy and goodwill with gamers worldwide and chose to destroy it forever and for what ? For a terrible game that everyone currently hates the existence of..... crazy ...
Crazy to think they have plans to do 12 more phases for this game. That the Braniac you stopped in the released game is 1 of 13 and each Phase has a new Suicide Squad, new Braniac and a new Justice League.
Wait. They think we're going to be happy killing Brainiac twelve more times? *Twelve*???? I'd get bored after doing it twice...
