1/5 ★ – KinneyKinnie's review of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Easily the worst game I will play this year. Pure corporate greed at it's finest. You don't even get the full set of classic skins that were marketed in the deluxe edition, you have to pay an additional 40 dollars to unlock the rest of them, it's a borderline scam made to milk money out of people who will mindlessly consume.
It's a horrific Suicide Squad adaptation, I've been a fan of the Suicide Squad before the 2016 movie even happened, so to say I'm disappointed puts it lightly. I adore that team in the comics, but here they just... suck. King Shark is characterized well, but that's it. Boomerang sucks, Deadshot is written horribly, and Harley isn't fun in the slightest like she typically is. Those four being the only members is so unbelievably lame too, the roster isn't creative, fun, unique, or has any of the other members from the comics. The line-up for the next years worth of content is the same too, none of those characters are supposed to be on the Suicide Squad. Just straight garbage.
The story is written horribly, it's a pure toddler esc fantasy story and it's so bad. The humor is pure baby humor, the timeline makes no sense, the characters (aside from King Shark and Wonder Woman) are uninteresting and poorly written, and it's a massive spit in the face to the Arkham game fans.
The Justice League is so heavily wasted. I don't care if they're fake-out deaths, if anything that makes this even more stupid because that's just unrealistic. It hurts even more because Wonder Woman is the only member to actually die, despite her easily being the best part of the game.
I'm not going to bother doing some deep analysis into this game and why it sucks, it sucks because these devs don't get the Suicide Squad in the slightest and don't know how to do a live-service game. WB is beyond dumb for even greenlighting something like this and I'm glad it's run is over to set an example that people will not mindlessly consume games like this. Avengers game truly taught us nothing.
2/10 - absolute greedy slop.
