I liked a lot of what I saw in the brief time I played this game but the game is built around combat that's just... not particularly good. It very much feels like talented designers given not enough time to make a game in a genre that's new to them; lots of creative ideas, not a lot of polish and some significant missteps The traversal feels wonky and flowless, the combat feels ill-suited to the level design, the mission structure is baroque and unclear.

It's a shame, because Rocksteady's writing and lens into this setting is as sharp as it's ever been, to the point of making the Suicide Squad feel engaging and entertaining as characters.
