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.

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. As a curiosity, I think Suicide Squad is worth downloading, but once you play it, you’ll understand why it wasn’t the next big thing in live service gaming.

Rejoining the Squad

About 10 months had passed since I last played Suicide Squad, so I booted it up with the simple goal of unlocking Deathstroke, the final new playable character to come to the game post-launch. When I first opened the game up and tried to log in, I constantly got a “can’t reach server” message. It turns out that my PS5 let me launch the app even though I was downloading an update for it, but it still felt like a bad omen for things to come.
