Now, this one may surprise you, but I recently bought Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as a joke. And no, I did not pay $70 for the game. In fact, I bought it for a far more cheaper price on CDKeys since they were having a huge sale for North American/European game keys. Was on sale for roughly $16, a huge steal in my eyes. Like bro, $70 USD for this game? Yeah, no, I'm not paying that much if this game is in this state. Capped it only because I wanted to get it to laugh at it. I originally was planning to get it through the free Prime Gaming offer, but through past complications with Amazon charging us even after repeatedly cancelling our Prime subscription, I went against getting a free trial for Amazon Prime and we just ended up buying a digital Steam key.

I have been loving the game, in a very ironic way. I'm serious. I only bought the game to see how bad it truly was and to laugh at the game's bad design choices (mostly the lackluster story). I just wanted the game for shits and giggles, nothing serious. I only like the game because of how goddamn bad it is. Literally wanted to laugh out loud while I was playing through the first 2 hours. It's so bad, but hilariously bad. The story doesn't make sence, either - why was the Suicide Squad recruited by a literal FBI agent? I get that it's about the Justice League becoming evil and all, but it still doesn't make any sense to me.

Needless to say, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a guilty pleasure of mine. Because I like laughing at it.

EXTRA NOTE: In short, save your money until there's a huge sale or another free offer. God save Rocksteady.

I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.

Yeah, I agree. It is extremely disappointing to know that this was Kevin Conroy's farewell. His swan song. The man deserved to have a much better end to his career. Heck, even Orson Welles had a much better one when Netflix dropped his unreleased movie "The Other Side of the Wind". Kevin Conroy deserved to go out with a bang. Not a mere whimper.

The game's concept was good but the execution of it was terrible in so many departments.

It's another one of those "great concept with bad execution" examples.

Also, of COURSE I got Garfield Kart: Furious Racing. My Steam library truly didn't feel complete until I got gifted the game.

I only wanted the game as a joke, not for any serious reasons. But dang, it's actually a fun time-waster.

I've bought that game quite some time ago as a meme

The devs behind it appearently started hosting contests for it so joined them for the heck of it.
