10 Worst Licensed Video Games Of The Generation (So Far)

10. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (2024)

When it comes to licensed IP, few studios had a better track record than Rocksteady. The Batman: Arkham trilogy (we’re ignoring the Batmobile from Knight, thanks) helped redefine superhero games with care, style, and razor-sharp design. So when Rocksteady announced they were tackling Suicide Squad, expectations were sky-high.

Instead, we got a nine-year development slog that produced a tone-deaf live-service shooter nobody wanted. Kill the Justice League stumbled out of the gate with generic loot mechanics, same-y missions, and a personality vacuum at its core. It wasn’t broken, exactly - just painfully bland, which somehow felt worse coming from a studio once known for excellence.

Worse still, its failure triggered a mass exodus. Rocksteady's co-founders and key creative leads left shortly after release, and Warner Bros. reportedly gutted the studio’s staff. What was once one of the most respected developers in the industry was now a cautionary tale.

While it might be more technically competent than some games on this list, Suicide Squad earns its spot because of what it represents - a studio that once raised the bar, now stumbling to meet it. In a word? Tragic.
