With mixed reactions, 'Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League' is forced to deal with negative reviews.
“Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” will be available in a few weeks, but it recently caused controversy when journalists and influencers revealed their impressions after a few hours of play. Influencers seemed to rate it a little better than journalists, but overall the atmosphere was mixed to… not so good.
This highlights a long line of marketing mistakes from “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,” though it’s unclear whether it’s a decision by Rocksteady or Warner Bros. While the game tried to convince with its impressive concept as a co-op live service, it suffered from marketing problems with confusing decisions.

In February 2023, Suicide Squad was shown at PlayStation's State of Play, with 15 minutes to show off its concept. However, the footage was widely rejected and soon after, the game was delayed by nine months, although it was claimed that this was unrelated to the reaction to the preview.
Since then, the game's promotion has been relatively limited, with few features for various aspects of it. While these weren't treated as negatively, the overall feel of the environment hasn't improved, and probably won't improve with new material that will be featured on live services.

But then things get weird. Rocksteady launched a closed alpha for Suicide Squad shortly before launch, with positive feedback from participants. However, those positive impressions weren't shared publicly, as participants remain under non-disclosure agreements, with no plans for a public beta to showcase gameplay.
Now, there's this preview event in Los Angeles. It's rare to see so much negative reaction to events like this, as they're usually carefully designed to showcase what the company believes are the best features of a game.

Then, we're almost at launch. Again, another "Direct" video is expected, this time on the subject of the game's live service, something most will be predisposed to dislike from the start.
It's strange that the game's mostly positive reviews have come from closed alpha leaks that can't be shared widely due to strict non-disclosure agreements. And while the game's dynamic combat and UI play better in person, they haven't run any open betas to prove that it's actually fun.
