Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League didn't launch to much acclaim, and now its comic-strip ending that undoes the most daring elements of its story has left some people who stood by it with a sour taste in their mouth. Spoilers for all of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's story below. Neither fans nor critics loved the game when it came out.
In our own Kill the Justice League review, we wrote that "repetitive mission design, a messy confluence of combat systems, and the drive towards a cooperative live service structure ultimately undermine the game's strongest qualities." I'm very much over live-service looter-shooters these days.
They take up far too much of my time and I can't stand simply playing a game just to see the numbers go up. A good story can change that, though.
I liked the move the game took with its brutal and underwhelming murder of Batman, but this ending completely ruins it. In a two-minute-long comic strip, Harley Quinn spins a yarn that wraps everything up for us.
Brainiac, the big bad who was trying to take over the multiverse, is defeated, and it's revealed that the Justice League that the Suicide Squad killed back on the original Earth was made up entirely of clones.
