Thoroughly enjoyable, but only in bursts... If it took these fleeting moments of enjoyment and really ran with them, it could have been a great game.

While the strangely gun-focused combat isn't anything to write home about, the filmic story elements in Suicide Squad are enough to carry the day, at least for the duration of the campaign. While I wish there was more to do in Metropolis, it is a beautiful setting for a game, and watching the cast of weirdos and losers skewer some of DC's finest is a guilty pleasure. While the end game doesn't currently feel compelling, there is more to come, so we'll reserve judgement until we see how that plays out. As it stands, this is a mild recommendation for a mostly painless, often funny game.
