Review in Progress: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League | IGN

Simon writes: "My first 11 or so hours with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League have left me with wildly mixed thoughts. There are things I like, things I don’t, and worst of all, things that elicit no emotional response at all."

If you like the more recent Suicide Squad movie, you'll probably enjoy the story/dialog in this one. If you like looter shooters aimed at wracking up high combos in very traversal-focused combat, then you might like this one.

I really really wish they had created some other IP for this gameplay. It's not 'bad' gameplay (not great either), but it just feels wrong going around shooting everything and it feels like they have to shove every DC reference in that they can.

I think the problem with this game isn't so much what it does wrong, it's what it does right that will now get ignored because people hate this game so much. It's a much cleaner Season-based game w/o FOMO, got rid of level-based loot, has great flexibility in loadout. But, it's tied to all the rest. And businesses are horrible at picking up the good out of the bad, so they'll ignore it and we will have to hope someone else will figure it out on their own.

-"If you like the more recent Suicide Squad movie, you'll probably enjoy the story/dialog in this one."

Maybe it's just from what I've seen/heard, but it seems way more insufferable than Gunn's Suicide Squad. I'm still tempted to give it a fair shot though.

(Not to elevate Gunn's The Suicide Squad either. I was warmed up to it being some zany masterwork when it really felt like an enjoyable 6/10 movie.)

It's actually better IMHO, but still not good. I think the core squad is its strongest element and many of the side characters kind of drag it down since they only serve to provide side activities (Hack and Gizmo so far).

If you don't like the core squad then you really just don't like Suicide Squad IMHO. And that's a valid opinion to have.

I've already decided I will get this game...

But when that offline patch hits and the game is bargin priced

[robtion]

I will buy it if they turn it into an offline game with all the DLC included (no micro-transactions thanks).

The real issue with this game is that it is an online only GaaS game. It charges you full price (more than full price, it is $160 for the "Deluxe Edition" in Australia when physical copies of most games are realistically $80-$100).

After paying full price you can then look forward to a constant stream of cosmetic items (which people want) but you need to pay extra for them as though this were a free to play game like Fortnite.

It is insanity and for some reason nobody in the media seems to have the balls to point out what the actual problem is.

[MetroidFREAK21]

That's why I'm waiting for the offline patch to just play the story and be done with it. Also, $10 is the magic price for me

[XBManiac]

Why "Review in progress" makes me think the worst?

[P_Bomb]

Even with the title, I didn’t expect so many characters to bite the dust. Did not expect the multiverse either.

Not really a fan of the timer for Incursions. Or having to earn currency to access endgame missions.

nauur💀

Not for nothing, this guy gave Spider-Man 2 an 8/10. That's a fine score, I'd just like to see how he scores this in comparison.

4 hrs after watching Eurogamer play it I can still hear that fking annoying Harley voice

[PRIMORDUS]

IGN should just give it a bad review like really bad a 1/10, all because of always on-line and Denuvo on PC. I would disregard all other aspects and tell everyone do not buy it period. If more sites did it like this, it would hurt them in the long run, and maybe think twice about always on-line and Denuvo shit.
