I don’t want to talk too much about this game because not many have played this yet. When I played it till the end, I felt dissatisfied about the whole storyline. I did like the gameplay, but I felt so bad for the Justice League members.

I have seen a LOT of criticism for this game, some valid, and some... just plain stupid. So here is why the game is actually a mess. (SPOILERS BELOW)
1. Characters being WILDLY out-of-character.
In the game, there is recordings you can find throughout the open world that explain how the JL came to be corrupted by Brainiac. This is all well and good if...it didn't make them seem so stupid. Diana and Bruce BOTH recognise it's a trap when Brainiac invites the League for open negotiations on his ship, and Superman says they should go anyway, 'in good faith'. And even worse, rather than only sending 1-3 members as espioenage, all 5 of them go! Completely unsurprisingly, Brainiac traps the League and starts his corruption process, but Flash and Diana are the only 2 to escape. Which is where the second problem arises.
2. Batman and Wonder Woman's roles in the Story
Flash and Diana both escape, but have to leave the other 3 league members behind. The problem with this, is that it would have better served the story if it was Batman who escaped instead. Think about it, we as the players and the audience have spent more time with the character, know more of his history and his capabilities as a result, and it also would be a better usage than how he was portrayed in the story. This would've also been a better explanation for how the Suicide Squad get the 'anti-JL' gear they pick up throughout the story.
3. Brainiac
Brainiac's treatment in the game, is... in a word, odd. They say he's this all-powerful genius who easily overtook the League, but when you actually end up fighting him, all it is is really a redo of the Flash's boss fight while occasionally blowing up machines and goons. Which is a huge disservice to his character and fails to show what he is really capable of.
4. Killing The Justice League
Obviously, as the title of the game says, you kill the Justice League. And while I understand that's the entire point of this game, the problem is that this is supposed to be our FIRST exposure to the Justice League of the ARKHAM Universe. If it had been totally disconnected from the Arkham Universe, there wouldn't be so many problems with the story. I have seen many theories that the JL we kill could be clones or even possibly end up replacing them with alternate earth versions of the dead JL members, and honestly if this was the case, I'd be fine with that. But the fact that this is the Arkham Universe is a MASSIVE problem for the game, despite it likely being a decision made due to Corporate Interference.
5. The Multiverse
After killing Brainiac in a pretty anti-climatic fashion, the Squad is told that there are 13- oh I'm sorry, 12 other Brainiacs on alternate earths. No doubt the players are supposed to kill the 12 other ones across the various updates, events, and seasons of SS: KTJL, since it's a live service game (which was another decision that really shouldn't have been made) but what about after that? What content could they add to fix or renew interest in the game? I don't know. And I don't think even the CREATORS know, either. The game feels totally unbalanced, has a problem with telling instead of showing- something a lot of media does- and disrespects almost every single character in the game that we have any form of interaction with.
HONOURABLE MENTIONS:
The UI of the game is crowded and clunky, with numbers and visual effects flying across the screen and breaking immersion. And this isn't an exaggeration either, take a look:
Which makes me as an autistic person with a pretty bad sensitivity to light extremely overstimulated. It's also terribly overdesigned.
Conclusion:
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is a terribly written, overdesigned, shoddy mess, which does a huge disservice to the characters used in it, confuses the players with its nonsense story decisions and makes the main antagonist and deuteragonists of said story seem incredibly stupid. These are the main problems with it. Not the Deadshot 'retcon' (you know who you are)
Well you all know this game what it is as it needs no introduction at all because you all seen it you know how awful it is and it is the worst game of 2024
Suicide squad Kill the justice league is one hell of a bloody dump as it is everything wrong with current day western games and WB and also current day DC as well you Might seen all the videos about why this game is wrong and just how horrible it is but the thing everyone hates about it was it is part of the Arkhamverse which sure is one of the biggest mistakes ever for many good reasons why and you probably know this by now
as one the the biggest screw up they did early in the games development was deadshot as he is now a black dude.......... As the deadshot we knew that was in the games was an imposter the whole time oh wait no he is just an alternate version from him from an alternate universe yeah what fucking bullshit and it sure made a lot people upset that they did it cause it has to be the dumbest recton ever because we know that's not him at all because we know the real deadshot because remember the film he was in batman assault on Arkham yeah who could ever forget about that

Because we did see him with his daughter in this movie that was part of the Arkhamverse and her daughter sure ain't black like seriously where they trying to do it just because Will Smith played him in the first suicide squad movie? because nobody like him playing that part and he sure ain't gonna come back as him if you all know what i mean by that like do they honestly think deadshot is gonna be black agian in the new DC reboot film universe? and I know who I am referring to, which I will talk about later
As for other things that don't make sense was captain boomerang and king shark cause those two were already dead as king shark died in the movie and captain boomerang died in the comics where he was killed by deadshot as he shot him in the head! yeah really odd he is alive again like they could have at least used his son who became the new captain boomerang but no they can't do stuff like this that would make a lot of sense!
Oh and King shark yeah this is one of the worst king shark ever everything about him is wrong he is not king shark at all he is just the heavy from TF2 but a shark that is who he is in this game like WTF how could they screw this up and i am not gonna defeated the old one because he too had an awful design but at least he was a big monstrous hulk brute that fought with his hands and teeth and was an animal and not some shark dude with big guns he is one of the worst king sharks ever just like the one from Harley Quinn, DCAMU, arrowverse and DCEU and you may be saying how are those other last two awful? Well it's simple the other was a human marine biologist that got turned into a meta human shark and was not a shark human hybrid who is the son of a shark deity and the DCEU one acts like an idiot child and really wasn't a bad guy due to his past.
But there are a lot of other dumb things in this game like the roaster is short as hell like the suicide squad always had a bigger roaster but they did of course because it's a online live server game and they want DLC in it because of course which is something nobody wanted like they gave us an awful lex luthor and Amanda Waller looks very awful seriously she looks like someones aunt? Like she sure looks nothing how she appeared in the past batman arkham games and movie oh the justice league has a small roster too like seriously the justice league had a ton of members on the team not just those only oh and who could forget the new joker that's very pure awful and um... asian? for some reason? like this is very wrong the joker is a type of character that should never be on the suicide squad at all!
Oh and who could forget sweet baby inc or should i say shit satanic baby inc as they were the ones responsible why this game is awful because i swear they were the ones that made that dumb deadshot retcon in the game because they didn't like this and wanted deadshot to be black because reasons of course because they think deadshot should just be black because of the Will Smith version of that character because they rather have that and not use already existing characters like bloodsport also i bet they hated the movie too as well cause it didn't fit there ideology of course and try to make it non canon.
But this game really also shows how awful current day DC has become because there stuff had not been doing well cause last year truly was the worst year for DC as they had been making stuff and doing changes that they believe people are into just to pander which nobody wants because i sure and others don't like what DC is doing heck i know some of you had heard that there is a rumor that DC will reboot it's universe again which yeah i hope will happen really badly cause DC just had done a lot screw ups and ruined a lot of characters if you know what i mean.
But this game is the worst rocksteady ever made they just made an very worst game that's more worse than Gotham knight's and it feels they were forced to make it because of WB because they sure don't feel like the same company people loved and knew long ago and i don't know what will happen next to them because this game could maybe shut them down for good. because nobody is playing this game and i bet the future planned DLC they had plan for it might barley happen and be scrapped once they end support for this game due to it's low sales which i am glad hope sure happen cause i know they will ruined these characters in a way once they introduce them like i heard that rumor DLC that deadshot's daughter? will be in it which is honestly pure stupid.
So this game just really needs to be not canon to the arkhamverse for good like i heard that rumored DLC where they will save the justice league but it will not fix this game because there is a lot of things nobody liked and ruined in this game and everyone wants it to be non canon as hell simple as that because this games is an insult to this series's period.
Nobody wants a black deadshot heck they are making him black agian in suicide squad Isekai to which i don't like this suicide squad anime at all it's very dumb i know there are people out there that don't like this but i know there is a reason why this exist because DC wants that japanese audience for it so they can hope these people can buy there stuff because we all know how the comic book industery is going these days if you know what i mean.
So yeah that's all i gotta say this slope of a game needs to be non canon for good and what will happen to rocksteady after this is something we have to wait and see and as for sweet baby inc i hope many companies stay away from them like hell and i hope they get bankrupt and defunct for good because sweet baby inc truly is something nobody wants at all period.
I'm really glad King Shark is getting the respect he is due. This might be the 1st time outside of comics that he is finally treated with respect and not turned into a bad joke. I'm looking forward to this game just to play him and the fact that they treated him with respect, means that they get my money. Already pre-ordered.
What do you all think? looking forward to this game?
I just watched the trailer for the game and does anyone else think that the flash here looks too much like Johnny quick from the crime syndicate
Could it be be that its actually the crime syndicate pretending to be the justice league?
Or
it could be that I'm just reading too much into it
