Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The Blackout Club is a weird game, which can be enjoyable only if you play with someone else and also only if you like this stealthy tactical gameplay.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
There's good class progression, co-op is smooth and solo play is challenging but a unique experience in itself, even though you strangely get punished with less rewards despite the extra challenge and increased runtime per mission.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The setting is fantastic all the way from the narrative to the art style to the sound design and they end up being a complete package that leads to a level of immersion that’s hard to find in multiplayer gaming.

the graphics is alright there map layout is really well thought of but this game is dead no servers i feel like if it has skins or dlc to get money it could really help out the game for further development . to try and promote the game. buy it its great fun and if ur bored with games u should try this it will give u a new feel
