Table of Contents Rejoining the Squad The misadventures of my Suicide Squad An unceremonious death Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is in the hands of more people than ever this week because it’s one of January’s PlayStation Plus Essential games.
But is it worth revisiting or playing for the first time nearly a year after its release? That question loomed as I saw this PS Plus news in the wake of deep discounts for Suicide Squad during the Steam Winter Sale, just as Rocksteady confirmed that its updates would end in January.
At this point, Rocksteady’s latest is infamous for being a live service flop: a game that Warner Bros. hoped would be a moneymaker for years to come but instead was dead on arrival.
Getting back into Suicide Squad a year later is a conflicting experience. Recommended Videos As my review of the game around its launch mentioned, there is good to be found in the experience, particularly in how it feels to play.
Sadly, revisiting Suicide Squad reminded me of how that’s all buried under horrendous UI, dull and repetitive mission design, and lots of confusing game systems and jargon.
