Negative Previews for Rocksteady's 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League'
Despite Criticisms, Game Praised for Narrative and Co-op Gameplay; Set for February 2024 Release
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the latest game from Batman Arkham developer Rocksteady Studios, has received largely negative previews from several outlets, with criticisms focusing on the game's user interface, generic missions, underdeveloped open-world elements, and a boss fight against The Flash.
- Despite some positive feedback on the game's narrative and humor, the majority of reviewers have expressed concerns that the game does not live up to Rocksteady's legacy and talents, comparing it unfavorably to other live-service action titles such as Anthem, Redfall, and Avengers.
- The game, which has been delayed several times since its announcement in 2020, is set to be released on 2nd February 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
- The game will mark the final performance by voice actor Kevin Conroy as Batman, and will feature a battle pass offering cosmetic items only.
- Despite the negative previews, some outlets have praised the game's cutscenes, writing, and narrative, as well as the balance between co-op and competition in the gameplay.
