    This game has a lot of potential, and that's just it. The stalker feature is unique. The character models look more deformed than they do teenagers. The missions are randomized, but were excessively repetitive during my 3-day session with a friend. There was nothing that drew me back to the game, and within my community if they aren't playing with a friend, they aren't playing at all.This game has a lot of potential, and that's just it.

    The gameplay, if not repetitive is enjoyable. It elicited several jump scares out of us.

    It is easy for others to sabotage the game for everyone due to pure ignorance, as we're all learning (the Shape pursues everyone, even if others were non-violent and didn't commit sins). There are no checkpoints offered during missions, and when there are 3 separate tasks, it is frustrating to have to restart from the beginning. Would revisit with some polishing.    … Expand

    The core of this game is fun and has a lot of potential. Sadly this game just feels way too unfinished and needlessly repetitive. The attempt at a live service game with so little content actually on offer is terrible. The game would have been much better with a handful of custom designed maps to create a fun campaign style experience.

    The Blackout Club is ambitious, but it doesn't have enough variety to make me care for that ambition. Thankfully, there are ways that players can make the game better on their own, filling in what the game lacks, but the game needs to back it up a little more.

    The Blackout Club manages to wedge itself into a crowded cooperative space with the use of clever tricks and an approachable atmosphere. But unless the developers build off this initial offering with new content to slice through repetition, it will soon get lost in the dark.

    With up to four players, it’s a unique structure for multiplayer action. As it’s a stealth horror game communication is key, and it’s best played with people you know. [Issue#166, p.89]
