Why haven't any reviews for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League been released?

Rocksteady's highly anticipated game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, has finally been released, but there seems to be a delay in the arrival of reviews. The game, developed by the creators of the acclaimed Batman: Arkham series, follows the story of four dangerous villains from the DC Comics universe: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang. Players are tasked with targeting Justice League superheroes such as Superman, Flash, and Batman himself. Early previews of the game received mixed reactions, and major gaming site IGN even claimed to have been denied a review copy. The majority of journalists only received codes on Tuesday when the game's servers were activated, which limited the time available for comprehensive reviews. While it is not uncommon for publishers to withhold review copies, the timing of Warner Bros Games' decision has raised some eyebrows. The lukewarm previews may have influenced the publisher's choice to delay the release of review codes. However, the overall consensus was that the game didn't live up to expectations but was still reasonably decent. This response was certainly not what Rocksteady had hoped for. The shift from single-player games to a multiplayer-focused model, which often includes paid downloadable content, raised concerns among fans of Rocksteady's previous works. Despite this, many players were eagerly awaiting the game and paid extra for early access. However, the game encountered a bug that allowed some players to complete it within minutes, causing spoilers to circulate online. Rocksteady had to take the game offline temporarily to fix the issue and compensated affected players with in-game credit. This incident further fueled negative press and backlash against the game. Nevertheless, some fans remain loyal and defend the game on platforms like Reddit and Discord. The impact of reviews is a matter of debate. Milo, known as MrROFLWaffles on YouTube, believes that late release of reviews is a harmful approach as it creates a narrative that taints an outlet's reputation. He argues that critical reviews are necessary for a healthy consumer environment, as they help consumers make informed decisions. Despite the controversies, fans like Milo have purchased the game and have mixed opinions about it. Overall, the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been rocky, leaving fans and critics unsure about its quality.
