Ok let's get the obvious out of the way first. Yes, superheroes turning evil is overdone. Yes, the main characters have insane levels of plot armor so that the story can happen. Yes, live service games are a plague on the industry and most of them are not good.

Ok moving on.
As someone who enjoys a shooter every now and then, I've had a lot of fun with this game. Each character is fun to play as, and the gunplay feels great. Metropolis is such a cool location to explore. My hottest take is probably that I find the missions fun too, and there really weren't any that I hated. That said though it's not amazing or super complex or anything. I like my fast paced action but I'm not gonna argue that it isn't shallow. As for me, I like plowing through enemies with King Shark, or zipping around the arena as Boomerang.

I do have some story complaints, like how this game is set in the Arkhamverse for literally no reason, and how underwhelming Superman is. Every other league member has a lot of buildup before you fight them, but for stupid narrative reasons Superman just isn't around for most of it. Its probably because they knew if they didn't write him out of the story, there's no reason for him not to just instantly kill all the main characters. Also stop making Diana super unlikable, I hate it. I do like the squad though and I'm excited to see where they take this game with future characters and exploring the multiverse.

Oh and give me a Green Lantern skin for King Shark you cowards.
