Introduction - I am not a massive fan of DC universe, the games and movies are fun. I love Looter shooters.

Beat the Game playing on Hard from first minute - 20 hours to beat, did all the side content also.
Story - Good, enjoyed it. Not the greatest story of all time, but I laughed, was shocked, and found it engaging. A note needs to be said, the title is Suicide Squad – Kil the Justice League, what happens is literally in the title. It’s a dark story, that is irreverent.
Game play – Excellent, variety of activities is good, enough to keep me excited, but not so much that I am lost in the different mechanics. Each activity is modded randomly, each time you do one how to complete it could be different then the last one you did. Often requiring you to adapt, and change up your build.
Boss battles - Only one that I would say was weak, but the others were excellent fun fights.
Loot - Engaging, not Borderlands flood of loot, the loot streams in though and is fun to see the builds.
Main Character - Used King Shark 14 hours of my 20 hours play through. He reached max level at final boss, starting endgame with him max level.
Build Variety - Many builds to be had. The different weapon abilities, talent variety (that is a free re-spec whenever you want out of battle), Grenades, 3 mods to equip, melee weapon, and a charm. All these interact with each other allowing for builds and synergy between all of them. All your mods, charms, and weapons have augments further creating diversity in builds, finally apply aliments to your melee and grenade that interact with augments on all your gear, endless min max potential.
Character Diversity - Each character feels unique, for the few hours that I played other characters, it was hard to play them, because each is so unique. How I played King Shark is vastly different then Harley, Dead-shot, and Boomer. I am excited to max the other characters and make fun builds with each of them.
Conclusion - If you like Looter shooters Its a buy, if you only want story I would wait for sale, if you only like the DC universe wait for sale. If you do not like looter shooters this would be an avoid, or super sale.
For me I am 100% happy with my purchase.

Update:
Endgame - I have been in the endgame for 16 hours. Max leveled King Shark took him to Mastery level 10 and 15 squad points. I working on maxing out Deadshot, currently level 20.
Like I said in my earlier review each character plays different. This holds completely true. As Deadshot I find myself hovering in the air, throwing grenades, working the middle with my Assault Rifle, and long range with my sniper. He definitely out DPS the Shark, but doesn't have as much survivability. While King Shark wants to be in melee up close and personal. Both characters are great fun, and fun putting together a build that works with their unique play style.
What is the end game?
Here are the mission types - Kill X amount of enemies. defend these locations, and destroy the nodes, save the civilians. All of which come in their own variety (3, 2, 1, 2, respectively) and you want to do as quick as you can. After doing some of those you then use the endgame currency to do 5 different endgames zones to get unique rewards, in these zones you are timed. Kill X amount of enemies to get points, defend locations, and destroy nodes. They add two new endgame content to the rotation, both are the same, but variations. It is a survival last as long as you can zone. You start off a the lowest level more enemies you kill the higher mastery it becomes. Longer you last the better rewards. One is normal, the other is hardcore no revives.
Is it repetitive? yes of courses. I have never played a looter shooter, or mmo whos endgame is not a repetitive game play loop. The question becomes, is the loop fun, for me yes, it is scratching the looter shooter itch I have had for awhile. The game play loop is larger, longer, and more fun the any COD or Battle Royal.
