Clever, complex and visually impressive, but also so very dull.

The best of Rocksteady anchored to a tired game design trend, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a muddle of ideas and approaches that has the DNA of something good, but can it be built upon?The biggest thing holding back Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't the conflicting fan expectations and neither is it the decision to task Rocksteady Studios, a successful single-player focused developer, with making a live service game multiplayer shooter, but it's the sheer length...

The saving grace is, for the most part, you'll be spending your time in the neon haze of Metropolis, a space littered with callbacks and callouts to DC's heroes, layered with design-accurate Art Deco posters and diners. And all this built in4 - Rocksteady really are wizards when it comes to optimisation.

A further Arkham hangover is the counter shot, when an enemy is about to shoot you with their weapon sparks and you have a brief moment to counter and stun them, leaving this enemy open to follow-up attacks, which in turn release collectibles or cause area affect damage. The post-story endgame is pure grind, and feels like a waste of Rocksteady's effort to crowbar its way of doing things into a live service built around season passes and the need to gradually ratchet-up a character's stats.
