Now that the game is finally in the hands of players, many of you have been wondering what the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League review situation is and why we haven\u2019t been seeing any published.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on the fence about whether to pick a game up, reading reviews is a great way to learn more about the title and whether you\u2019ll like it.<\/p>\n

Sadly, there have been zero Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League<\/a> reviews ahead of \u2013 and now after \u2013 the game\u2019s early access launch.<\/p>\n

The lack of reviews has been a whole<\/i> thing\u2122, with fans and others playing the blame game.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to help you through the noise of the latest gamer discourse and let you in on what\u2019s actually happened.<\/p>\n

Keep reading to find out everything there is to know about the Suicide Squad review situation, including why there are no reviews right now, when reviews might start to appear and what other outlets have been saying about the game in previews.<\/p>\n

Where are the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League reviews?<\/b><\/h2>\nThere are currently no Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League reviews as publisher Warner Bros has not sent early review codes to many (or perhaps any) major outlets<\/b>, including us here at RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Major media sites including IGN and Eurogamer released articles explaining the lack of a Suicide Squad review.<\/p>\n
In IGN\u2019s report<\/a>, they explained: \u201cCodes have not been sent ahead of time \u2013 in fact, Warner Bros Games informed IGN that it has declined to send us codes at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eurogamer<\/a> explained on 30th January: \u201cWarner Bros is only sending out review code today. As far as we know, this isn\u2019t a case of Eurogamer being singled out or otherwise treated differently to the many other sites of channels that plan to review the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both of these sites are quick to point out that outlets aren\u2019t entitled to early review codes, and that it\u2019s entirely Warner Bros\u2019s decision to not send them out ahead of a game\u2019s release.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no conspiracy here, folks. Sometimes, publishers decide to not send review codes early, or at all \u2013 this is nothing new.<\/p>
When could Suicide Squad reviews start to appear? Embargo explained<\/b><\/h2>\nNow that the game is in early access<\/a> for those who purchased the Deluxe Edition, and there is no embargo as far as we know, we predict reviews in progress might appear by the end of the week <\/b>\u2013 leading up to Suicide Squad\u2019s full release on 2nd February.<\/p>\n
Given that Kill the Justice League is a large open-world game featuring live-service elements, review writers will need a few days (at least) to play through the game enough to put their thoughts together.<\/p>\n
This is why we\u2019re predicting that unscored \u2018review in progress\u2019 pages will start to appear by the end of the week.<\/p>\n
In terms of full-on scored reviews? We predict they\u2019ll start appearing in earnest across major outlets from next week, with review writers able to put more hours into the game over the weekend.<\/p>\n
You may see a small handful of reviews appear by the end of this week, too.<\/p>\n
