Suicide Squad’s Bad Sales Prove Shooting Yourself In The Foot Is Never A Good Plan

WTMG’s Leo Faria: “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the worst kind of AAA game. It was clearly mandated from higher-ups. It’s incredibly obvious that this was not what Rocksteady wanted to do, as this game, like other lame AAA live services before it (Redfall comes to mind), feels uninspired, unfocused. What’s worse, Rocksteady really tried to come up with some good things, such as Deadshot’s admittedly fun combat mechanics. Sadly, for every good thing they were able to deliver, there are two or three other elements that bring the game down several notches.

To my disdain, this is also not a complete technical trainwreck which would make me recommend it as some kind of ironic joke. This is not a Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch and it’s not a Gollum. It’s somewhat competent in its controls and visuals, and just massively disappointing everywhere else. I also don’t think the publisher deserves the pity money stemming from an ironic playthrough. This is nowhere near as bad as other AAA disasters in recent memory, but it’s easily one of the most infuriating games I’ve played in a long time. It is the worst kind of mainstream, big publisher, AAA experience. A forgettable piece of corporate boredom which will do nothing but tarnish Rocksteady’s reputation.”
