Midnight Murder Club impresses with its atmosphere and original ideas like the Wild Cards, but it suffers from lack of content and variety. Perfect with friends, less engaging when played alone.

Midnight Murder Club is a successful experiment—a horror party game that's eerie, strategic, and unexpectedly fun. It doesn’t revolutionize the genre, but stylishly reinvents it by focusing entirely on multiplayer. If you enjoy games that blend tension and fun, and have friends to play with, joining this club might become your next late-night obsession.

Midnight Murder Club could grow into something far greater, but for now, though, it sits in a peculiar space. It's genuinely thrilling sometimes, but its underbaked elements and lack of accessibility prevent it from reaching the audience it deserves.

Midnight Murder Club combines tension, strategy, and fun in intense matches with friends. With directional voice chat, voice modulation, and impressive lighting, the immersion is complete. The Guest Pass and crossplay make group play easy. A lack of map variety limits replayability, but alternative modes help keep the game engaging. It’s worth it for those seeking adrenaline and fun in a social multiplayer experience.

Midnight Murder Club delivers original ideas, solid execution, and bursts of fun. However, its low skill ceiling and limited progression hinder long-term engagement. Best enjoyed with friends, it struggles to remain rewarding for solo players.

Clever, tense, and often hilarious, Midnight Murder Club turns pitch-black mayhem into something memorable. It's a game of light, sound, and timing that feels unlike anything else in the genre right now. With its originality and unpredictability, it's easy to recommend-but it's a ways off the genre-defining moment it hints at being.

Midnight Murder Club tried to deliver a group experience that blends humour and tension, but it failed to strike the right balance. The visuals are average, and while the game feels vague at the start, it can still offer some fun moments with friends thanks to its distinctive sound design. It’s more suited for those looking for short-term cooperative entertainment, but not for players seeking a long-lasting immersive experience.

The fact that I don't usually like first-person shooters and I loved my time with Midnight Murder Club speaks volumes so definitely play it. 🔦

Still, even with its limited modes and maps (or rather, map, singular), Midnight Murder Club makes for a wildly good time if you can sign up a few friends. It might lack the flash and panache seen in modern live-service titles, but if you’ve been yearning for an online shooter that emphasizes gameplay and good times over all else, look no further.

While Midnight Murder Club has some clever ideas and decent core gameplay, the lack of a player base makes it more likely that the game will be killed off before it can recover.

Midnight Murder Club from developer Velan Studios is a cool idea that will have hardcore online gamers frothing at the mouth to show their stuff. While the entry point for novice players might be difficult, and the lack of longevity beyond modes is a tough sell, what you get with the price point you pay is enticing.

A huge and luxurious mansion, haunted and full of traps, becomes the setting of deadly challenges between complete strangers. What might seem like the beginning of a book written by Agatha Christie and Stephen King is actually a surprisingly fresh and entertaining party game with a thriller twist. Technically it's not a masterpiece, but if you have a few friends around it could become your favourite multiplayer game until Halloween and beyond.

The bizarre shooter developed by Velan Studio is an ambitious title that seeks to stand out from the mass of PvP games that have been saturating the market for a few years now. Midnight Murder Club is an interesting game, capable of entertaining, especially with friends. Unfortunately, due to its limitations, primarily due to the lack of a strong community, it fails to fully express itself, making matches too similar to each other, which inevitably leads to monotony over time.

It's not the deepest or most expansive online multiplayer game, but you can have a lot of fun with Midnight Murder Club, especially when playing with friends. Sneaking around a pitch-black mansion armed with just a flashlight and a revolver can be a tense affair. And thanks to the Guest Pass system, just one player needs to purchase this bargain offering to play with up to five others.
