(Update)
Unfortunately, the new content is very disappointing, in my original review, I felt the game had potential. Had a fun little story and some neat momentum-based gunplay. I was banking that at the very least, I could turn my brain off and enjoy some new cutscenes and story missions every few months, but what is on offer is solely grind-focused and drops the ball in this regard. It's a shame it turned out like this.

If you accept it for what it is and do not disregard it for what it isn't there is quite a lot of fun to be had (though flawed). Suicide Squad is a live service looter shooter from the ground up, it wasn't what I wanted, but I found my fun within. The story is a fun superhero romp through some cool set pieces though some potential is sadly wasted. Where the game shines is in its momentum-based gunplay, mixing traversal with snappy shooting and a fun skill tree makes for a pretty engaging (if a bit too noisy) combat system. Overall the game is solid but not worth the price as of right now unless you are dying for a new looter shooter experience. Don't buy into the hate, go in with an open mind and you may just end up having some good fun, just wait for a sale. I hope Rock Steady keeps to their word and maintains its player-friendly model.
