Resolution's Peter Willington writes: DC Universe Online’s RRP is £39.99 according to major British retailer Game – that’s $65 to our American readers – and includes 30 days of online play, essential to access any part of the title. If you want to continue play after this time, that’ll set you back another £9.99 ($16) on the PlayStation Store. If this wasn’t an MMO – a genre that lives and dies by the communities within and their dedication to the grind, to the regular subscription, to the complex systems that need to be studied carefully – this could be an acceptable price and model of economics on console. If this were the best MMO yet developed, a World of Warcraft beater, one could grudgingly look past the monetary factors, safe in the knowledge that they were playing the exquisite, that the universe of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman was the universe to be in.

WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
