What Are Players Saying About Suicide Squad Game?
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has definitely stirred up the gaming crowd, albeit not in a positive sort of way. Perhaps as one of the most anxiously awaited upcoming video games for 2024, it is safe to say the game’s release thus far has been … to put it lightly, a mixed bag. Some players are enjoying themselves, while others are just rolling their eyes. Here’s a synopsis of what the crowd is chattering’, with a bit of jest in and around, of course.
First Impressions: The Good, The Bad, and The Quirky
Let’s face it, no one ever thought Suicide Squad would be a transformative work of art. But players were clamoring for more than just a flashy, action-oriented ride. And if some reviews are positive, many are written in disappointment.
It was @JakeNoseIt, surprisingly cheerful regarding the game: “I realized they’re not reaching for superhero realism like they do with Batman or Spider-Man. They’re making a fun, looted third-person shooter with some DC Comics flavor.” Sure, it’s not attempting to become the next Batman Arkham, but perhaps that’s for the best. A casual, loot-full shooter with DC super heroes? Sounds fun, right? Unless you’re looking for intricate plot lines and gritty realism, that is.
But then you have people like @isolatedscot, who simply couldn’t get into it: “Played the story, don’t remember any of it. The only gameplay I played, don’t recall enjoying.” Ouch. Guess it wasn’t for everyone. You can’t satisfy everyone, but hey, we get it. It doesn’t follow that every game has to be Game of the Year material.
Gameplay: Fun for a Few Hours, But Will It Stick?
The same goes for the actual gameplay, which gets a little bit trickier. Some players are all in on the action-packed fun, while others are concerned it won’t sustain itself in the long run.
@EdFiftyNine offered this impression: “The gameplay is fun in brief bursts, but I’m not sure how long it can sustain my interest.” It’s a major worry for live service titles such as Suicide Squad. Will it become a repetitive experience like the rest of the genre? Will it stand the test against this year’s top-tier video games? Only time will tell.
However, there are also some glowing reviews about the combat mechanics. @OfficialRyat described it as “smooth and enjoyable,” with instant character swaps that kept the game “feel seamless and immersive.” That’s a W in the books for anybody who like to spiffy things up when playing the game. And there are a bunch of character skill trees to tinker with. Because it’s always a pleasure when you can build your own unique hero (or villain, in this case).
Traversal and Humor: Can’t Forget the Fun Parts
So far, the traversal system alone seems to deal out some highlights. Every character interacts a little differently with the world around them, helping the game feel like it has a bit of personality. @oood especially enjoyed moving as Harley Quinn, describing it as “Movement as Harley was also a blast with a grappling hook somewhere between Batman and Spider-Man!” That’s a hell of a claim, but it certainly makes us wanna take the plunge.
And don’t forget the humor. And it’s a Suicide Squad game, so it can’t be all doom and gloom. @KYShaunT1 did giggle at times with some bits of the story. If a game can make its players laugh, it might have enough character to transcend its shortcomings.
What’s the Verdict?
So just what do the players think about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? It is obviously a game with potential, but also some flaws. Players are pumped for the combat and traversal, but some are wondering whether it has the legs to sustain over the long haul. And let’s be real, there are always going to be some who aren’t into the humor or the repetitive tasks that these sorts of games require.
Until then, we’ll have to wait for its official release in 2024 to see whether it’s a top video game of the year contender or just another game that slips into the background. New video games always offer us some novelty, and Suicide Squad is not an exception. Whether it will linger for the long haul, or end up as a flash-in-the-pan, is anyone’s guess.
But one thing’s for certain: The gaming community won’t stop talking about it. Love it, hate it or just don’t care, the video game news around this title is here to stay.
