Is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League worth buying?

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was released on January 30th, 2024, on PS5, Xbox and PC. It is a shooter, action-adventure video game which has been widely anticipated since its official release date was set with lots of gamers discussing what they think we will see in the upcoming game and what to expect. However, since the game have been out there has been a lot of negative reviews around the game.

What is the suicide squad kill the Justice League plot?

Players are sent to Metropolis, a fictional city within the popular DC Comics, to stop alien invader Brainiac and kill the members of the Justice League who became homicidal after being brainwashed by him. It is up to the Suicide Squad to take them out so that the world can be saved. The game is presented from a third-person perspective and with its open-world design players are allowed to freely roam Metropolis. We liked the fact players could roam freely giving them some sense of exploration and freedom.

As well as this, players can choose which character they play. Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot and King Shark are all options to choose each with their playstyle, skill, build and weapon/ability. Again, this was something we liked, as the game can be played numerous times and each time the game will have a slight change of feel to it.

 

Are the Kill the Justice League graphics good:

When the game was originally announced, there was very little suicide squad kill the Justice League leaked info about the game's graphics and what to expect when it came to how the game looks.

The cutscenes truly do come to life with the polished graphics with the characters appearing clear and detailed.

There has been some disagreement however with players stating that compared to the previous games, the graphics haven’t changed massively, and it has also been recommended by other players to set v-sync to off and framerate to either 60fps (LCD) or 90fps (OLED) depending on which Deck you're using for a much better gameplay.

Suicide Squad: kill the Justice League reviews:

So as we mentioned at the beginning, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League has received a lot of negative reviews, and it’s time to see what people dislike about this game. There has been a big focus on the name of the game, which although was released a few years ago, players thought there may be more to the game besides this plot, with the title giving the premise of the game away before even beginning to play.

This initial dislike of the plot is also very present throughout the game, lots mentioned that the missions are repetitive and even though you can go back and play as numerous characters, they all follow the same gameplay and the same shooting theme.

And finally, although we cannot give much away, the game's ending has been widely criticised however we will not spoil this for those who wish to play.

 Pros: Cons:
  • Runs smoothly on PS5
  • Good quality graphics and imagery
  • Plenty of character options
  • Mission variety is poor
  • Hard to continue playing over and over
