Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League may not exactly be comparable to Batman Arkham Knight in terms of gameplay, but it is undeniable how dated the new game developed by Rocksteady looks compared to the studio’s previous title, released almost nine years ago.
A comparison video shared by NikTek on YouTube highlights the visual and gameplay differences between the two games. As mentioned already, the gameplay is not really comparable, as the two are very different games, but in terms of visuals, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League looks considerably worse than Batman Arkham Knight in pretty much every way. From lighting to character models and animations, it feels like Rocksteady’s latest game is the one that was released almost ten years ago.
The development of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been quite troubled, to say the least. The game’s live service features and first gameplay reveal received a negative reception that prompted Rocksteady to delay the game for a year to polish and improve the experience. As the core experience couldn’t be changed in a single year, however, the game is still set to disappoint those who expected another single-player experience in the vein of the Batman Arkham series. At the very least, those who will enjoy the experience will be able to play it for a long time, as Rocksteady has worked on a meaty endgame that will keep them engaged for a long time.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launches on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on February 2nd.
