The first 4 and 3/5 of the game are good. It's an interesting story and a different take on the Batman story. It has the typical Telltale Games hiccups and stuttering, but that's to be expected on last gen hardware. However, there's a bug in chapter 5 that prevents you from finishing the game. Supposedly the latest update fixes it, but that want the case in my experience. I would suggest going for the PS4 or Xbox One version instead.

This movie had potential. So much potential. All the talent was wasted in this movie.
Let's start with the good things. The movie looks great. Margot Robbie did a great job as Harley. Will Smith was pretty good at Deadshot. Viola Davis was fantastic in embodying the cold, calculated efficiency of Amanda Waller.
On to the negatives: The story was average at best. The Joker as a B story was unnecessary. If you wanted to make that the primary, there was a lot of material to work with. But he functioned more as a distraction than anything else. The main villain was underwhelming. And the monsters used as cannon fodder were a blatant attempt to make the movie edgy without being an R rating.
This brings me to my main complaint: Suicide Squad should NOT be a PG-13 movie. They watered down the violence that should be a hallmark of the Suicide Squad. As Harley says in the trailer, "We're bad guys!" They should be doing bad things and not being censored for it. Deadpool showed that an R rated superhero movie can work, if it's done right. Deadshot may never miss, but Suicide squad definitely missed the mark.
