What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 246 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mixed (11,114 of 18,173 positive).
Some players find the game fun, especially at a discount, despite its flaws. [1][2] Others criticize it as a repetitive, poorly optimized live-service game. [3][4][5] A few note the game's narrative and character banter are enjoyable. [6][7][8]

Hot take: the game is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Sure, it’s not a perfect continuation of the Arkham series. It has some questionable character designs, a handful of plot holes, and the mission structure can get repetitive. But… I genuinely believe the game is worth picking up at a discounted price and blasting through with friends. You start with four playable characters: Captain Boomerang, …

It's not that bad. The gameplay loop, squad banter and the story are all quite enjoyable. Only thing that sucks is the extra cosmetics are paid... in an originally $70 purchase. the monetization here feels almost in F2P territory and you'd think they'd let you unlock the skins and extra characters in a different way now that the game is dead and buried, but i guess they'll accept any poor sod buying luthor coins to …

Suicide Project: Kill the Entire Franchise Microtransactions, huge priced game, optimisation garbage, fps drops, stuttering, bullet sponge bosses/enemies, repetitive activities, no fast travel system except for the QG in the extreme corner of the map that makes you cross the whole map to reach any mission, extremely repetitive endgame, rushed and uninteresting story, no real pressure by the Justice League/Brainiac …

Good game, great humour. Terrible Arkham game. I would've preferred this game more if this was its own standalone game in a different universe, but seeing as this is part of the Arkhamverse I think it is a great disrespect to Batman, who is a character I played as a kid and grew up playing through the Arkham games. Other than that, the game is repetitive but the story is alright and there's a few funny moments that …

43% of the 246 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The complaint that keeps coming up: always online requirement and server issues. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Press previews in January 2024 were "overwhelmingly negative", according to Kotaku's John Walker and VG247's Sherif Saed, with the game further suffering from bugs and server issues. It was also noted that many outlets were not sent review codes before the game's release. In an interview with the BBC's Newsbeat, Eurogamer writer Victoria Phillips Kennedy said she found the situation to withhold codes "slightly unusual". Both Kennedy and Saed speculated the decision was in response to the previews, while Chris Carter of Destructoid felt the technical issues had also played a part. Some noted that no outlet was entitled to a review code, and that similar circumstances for other games had…

60 of 459 · most liked firstI spoke to the director and top designer of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. They were remarkably candid, telling me that the experience made them dislike making games. But now they're teaming up on an indie project to get their passion back.

neutral · AI labelView post →Unless a game is either A) a MMO B) a FPS/TPS C) Free to Play Live service should not even be attempted. While games like Avengers, Gotham Knights, and Suicide Squad are good games, you can also tell each one could have been *great* if they hadn’t chased the live service bag.

negative · AI labelView post →So, Suicide Squad is officially a finished game. The last season has a final boss and a final ending, an Offline mode, and the online features should keep running for the forseeable future. Honestly, a better ending than most live-service games get.

If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanobit of those hundreds of millions of bytes it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for this game at this micro-instant. Trash. Every possible wrong decision in game design was made. Not even with a team of dear friends was it made palatable. An insult to the player in every way possible. Disrespectful of the…

neutral · AI labelView post →Everyone already knows how much this game sucks, but I'll go in details anyway in case someone feels like giving it a chance. Optimization is abysmal. I can barely squeeze out 40 FPS on a game that looks terrible, they clearly just threw bunch of assets together without caring about how it all runs. connecting to a server to play with a friend is a nightmare, there was 2 days where game just refused to work, we had to play another day because it simply didn't want to be played i guess. even…

negative · AI labelView post →Developing a live-service game for Warner? In this economy? A team like that would be like... some kind of Suicide Squad.
neutral · AI labelView post →I really wanted to give this game a chance. I did. Being a huge fan of the Arkham series since day 1 (2008/9), I was quite excited for SS:KTJL despite all the negativity around it. The gameplay loop becomes repetitive after the first couple of hours with nothing else to show for it. Throughout the game you gotta go between point A and B, kill enemies (sometimes with modifiers), get roasted by Amanda Waller or Rick Flag, get some random weapons as a thank you and move on. The only fun part…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Madame Web and Suicide Squad are just more examples of how DEI ruins Marvel movies… they want us to pay money for a game that doesn’t even have the Jokeler in it that much. Carvel needs to seriously consider the opinions of real fans if they want to make a good movie

neutral · AI labelView post →It has a memetic haze around it that makes it impossible to mention without someone saying 'WORST GAME EVER', but I honestly think Suicide Squad was decent. It's 95% off, and the final update added a full offline mode and a true ending at the end of NG++++. Kinda like Crackdown + Sunset Overdrive
positive · AI labelView post →Not even worth it on 95% sale. The game is the definition of monotonous mindless gameplay with no engaging story. Refunded without a second thought.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly is only enjoyable if you received the game for free or got it for the 95% off price. The hate on this game is not as forced as i thought it was

neutral · AI labelView post →I know it's the easiest game to hate on, but at a silly 95% off, I honestly recommend people give Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League a try.

I would've preferred this game more if this was its own standalone game in a different universe, but seeing as this is part of the Arkhamverse I think it is a great disrespect to Batman, who is a character I played as a kid and grew up playing through the Arkham games. Other than that, the game is repetitive but the story is alright and there's a few funny moments that fit the theme of the game. Would I play it again? Probably not.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is something to say the least. I would recommend it if you can get it for the less than $5. The content is a ton of fun but the story has nothing to offer in my opinion other than the cool factor of having the Justice League in a game. Wish the story was better for the endgame but it's whatever The Endgame is where the value of this game is at after you beat the story. Fun gameplay loop and gear inspired by DC Villains and Synergies to find. Perfecting your loadout and Perfecting…

This game is a self-contained fever dream of Inglorious Bastards, Kill Bill, Suicide Squad, Where Eagles Dare, and The Dirty Dozen. It may be the perfect no-prep one-shot game.

neutral · AI labelView post →I missed the launch window chaos — the leaks, the backlash, the live-service discourse — and honestly? Best accidental decision I ever made. Coming into this in 2026, I had a genuinely good time, and I think that says more about the game's actual quality than any day-one review ever could. My DC knowledge comes from the movies and a handful of cartoons rather than deep comic-book lore (I've dipped into a few Ostrander runs, but that's about it) — and from that vantage point, Rocksteady…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow this game was bad. Like really bad. I can't even begin to encapsulate how bad this game is. It's so bad it made me look out into the rain with a black-and-white filter while smoking a cigarette and wearing a 1940's detective outfit while jazz music played.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The gameplay loop is so boring that I didn't even bother finishing the game. Also the fact that the suicide squad can kill heroes like the Flash and Superman is nonsensical at best like come on you really expect me to believe a group of 4 dumbasses can kill the fastest man alive with a gun?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one’s a bit tricky to pin down because there’s genuinely a lot here that works, even if the overall package feels uneven. Kill the Justice League surprised me in a few ways. The narrative is easily one of its strongest aspects there’s a sharp, comedic tone throughout that really leans into the idea of playing a group of chaotic anti heroes. The banter between the squad carries a lot of the experience, and at times it feels like the game understands exactly what kind of story it wants to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reviewers were too nice, this game is even worse than they would lead you to believe. Endless God awful cutscenes, meaningless loot systems, obnoxious UI overload of nonsense that doesn't mean anything. Words cannot describe how miserable of an experience playing this pile of decaying animal organs is. It's debilitating to the human psyche. It's not even worth the $2 I paid.

That studio would never have made this unoptimized mess (even with the recommended specs, I could barely keep 60 frames.). Warner Bros ripped out their heart (the people that founded the studio left before the game launched) and hired a necromancer to keep them alive long enough to make this sick money grab. Every character is one-note, irritating, stupid or a combo of the three and NEVER shut up. The story…

It tries to be a live service coop game but would've been pretty good single player experience. Since the story and characters seem decent. Combat also is pretty fun. But the gameplay loop is so boring and tedious that's beyond comprehension why this game even exists. All you do is travel around the city to the waypoint, fight enemies, rinse repeat.

I know it isn't my pc's fault because I could play other games for hours just fine and based on the reviews here it seems like a lot of people who bought this game also encountered this issue. No game should be able to do that to your pc. Uninstalled.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should have ended at the mission where batman who kills. Also terrible performance with more than enough setup.
