Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League - Confusion Surrounding Reviews

An unusual circumstance

On Tuesday, Rocksteady Studios will release "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League," its first major game since "Arkham Knight" in 2015. However, just a few days before the release, there is a noticeable silence regarding reviews from the press and content creators.

The Absence of Game Copies

No Early Reviews

Unlike other major releases where an embargo policy is common until shortly before launch, it seems that no one has been given early access to the game in this case. The absence of servers for this always-online co-op game is cited as the reason, as they will only be activated on the day of release.

Lack of Communication and Speculations

Unusual Decisions and Possible Reasons

The lack of communication from Rocksteady and the late announcement that there will be no early reviews raises questions. There are speculations that Warner Bros. may be concerned about the reception of the game due to mixed reactions at a technically problematic preview event. As a result, the decision may have been made to release the game without prior reviews to avoid potential negative ratings.

The Impact on Players and Press

An Unusual Scenario

For players and journalists, this situation is particularly unusual. It means they are forced to make a decision about purchasing the game without prior opinions or reviews. This is especially notable considering the game has an early access price of $100.

Summary and Outlook

A Difficult Start for an Anticipated Game

The confusion and uncertainty surrounding the reviews of "Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League" present a challenging start for a highly anticipated game. This approach is particularly unusual for a studio like Rocksteady, known for its high-quality games. The player community now faces the question of whether to blindly purchase the game or wait for initial reviews after the launch.
