Although Question still have a couple of bugs to iron out, The Blackout Club ultimately makes for a fun and engaging, if slightly clunky, experience. An ambitious entry into the horror genre, the game's distinct lack of focus on attacking makes for an incredibly tense experience as your team scrambles to compensate for their relative weakness compared to the antagonistic forces trying to hunt you down.

The Blackout Club evokes the idea of podcast-lore with its creepy atmosphere and story. It's a game to play with friends... with the lights on.

The Blackout Club is an excellent cooperative stealth game that splashes in a little bit of horror to spice things up. While it is still plagued by some minor bugs, it’s a fantastically tense experience that fans of first person stealth games will enjoy.

Impressive heritage and a handful of neat ideas bubble beneath this co-op horror, though they're both ultimately squandered.

The Blackout Club brings some interesting ideas, a fun cooperative setting and it mostly dips when it comes to the repetitive style of play.

The only thing that makes The Blackout Club a half-success is that if you have some friends to team-up with, you will have so much fun.

It is a creepy and unsettling horror game that quickly evolves into a clumsy co-op mess and I am okay with that.

The Blackout Club is what happens when a concept isn't executed well. Everything about the setting and lore should lead the game to be a surefire hit. But, with the lack of a main story path, painfully repetitive levels, and a torturously grindy progression system, The Blackout Club feels unbalanced, unpolished, and immensely unrewarding. The only thing saving it from being a complete waste of time is that communicating and working as a team, planning out your strategy can be enjoyable, although only in short bursts.

The Blackout Club is messy, buggy, weird, and I can’t stop playing it

Pace yourself in the Blackout Club and it can be a fantastic game for a long time. From its various enemies and threats to its sinister suburban setting, the game feels great to play with friends, just as long as you don't spend too much time with it at once.

The Blackout Club is frustrating on so many levels. Unless you’re playing the game co-op, don’t even bother… you’ll never make it through the missions. There was so much potential and, with patches, the difficulty could become a little more balanced in time. As it stands now the difficulty and strange mission structures keep the game from really being all that fun.

There were enough hidden stories and lore to keep me interested as I went along. Stories of daemons and gods and cults are always fascinating and I could feel the mystery around me as I crept through dark streets and skulked through humming, misty caves. It’s just a shame it was held back by its shallow content and repetitive gameplay.

The Blackout Club is a fun co-op experience, with elements of horror that diminish over time. Nonetheless, the setup is great and the navigation through levels is fun as well. If you or your friends are looking for a new co-op to sink some time into, The Blackout Club is worth your consideration.

The Blackout Club, is a creative co-op Horror game, that tells story of a bunch of teenager, trying to discover the scary mystery that haunts their town. Atmosphere is great and well designed. Narrative is ok and encourages players to keep going in the game. Also co-op is great and massively entertaining. On the other hand, gameplay should have been more complex and deep, because after couple of hours, game starts to become repetitive, because of lacking enough gameplay elements. Still, if you want to play a unique creative co-op Horror game, The Blackout Club could be a very good choiceto try.

The Blackout Club is a strong addition to the co-op horror genre. Enemies and gameplay are really well handled, and playing with friends is a brilliant experience. If the story was a little more in-depth and better paced, this might be considered unmissable. As it is, The Blackout Club is a worthwhile game if not an essential one.

Despite a truly amazing prologue/introduction, Question's The Blackout Club isn't all that scary and unfortunately isn't too fun, either.

The Blackout Club strives for originality while working with a familiar template. It's Stranger Things meets Scooby-Doo which come together nicely, along with a few added ideas that make it different. Not everything works as expected and content is a bit slim overall, but it truly shines when you're playing with a full party. If you like the uniqueness of the concept and the gloomy theme, you'll find equal doses of horror and fun in the mysterious town of Redacre.
