* ObviousBeta: ''Blacksite'' was released in an obviously unfinished state, to the point that project lead Harvey Smith admitted it went straight from alpha to gold. Among other things, visual glitches and oddities run rampant (intel and ammo frequently floats in midair, there's no animation for NPCs entering vehicles, so your teammates entering a Humvee is represented by them standing next to the vehicle and reappearing inside of it), the squad control and morale mechanics barely work, the game is short on content (short campaign, only 6 guns and a bare-bones multiplayer mode) and the final boss had no AI before patch, he simply stood still after the end of his short scripted behavior.

* ObviousBeta: ''Blacksite'' suffers heavily from this, more so than probably any other mainstream shooter released during the 2000's and early 2010's (back when patching a game was more difficult and it was taken as a given that a game would be released in a finished state). The game can be completed, but just from playing a couple hours it's painfully obvious that it shipped in an unfinished state.

* {{Main/Anvilicious}}: ''Blacksite: Area 51'' is ''very'' open about its anti-War on Terror and ArmiesAreEvil themes, to the point that the game literally opens in Iraq.

* NightmareFuel: The trailer depicts the game as an isolation survival horror shooter where your beset by waves of bloodthirsty mutants inside the infamous Area 51 with the nefarious and speechless Greys working behind the scenes.
** When you enter the lower levels you witness human vivisection conducted by the Greys.
** When victims mutate it is not a pretty site. It involved the infected having a new head slide from out of their own mouths and their forearms rip apart leaving behind a snarling vicious monster with glowing yellow eyes, razor sharps teeth and claws.
** The illuminati casually mention how they're created HIV, ebola and other infectious diseases all of which have claimed countless lives.

** The mutant mites aren't dangerous by themselves, as they only deal an ounce of damage and can be killed instantly in one shot, but they make up their lack of strength with ''[[ZergRush massive numbers]]''. It doesn't help that they scramble around the floor while you try to shoot them.
** The mutant bouncing blobs are somewhere between this and DemonicSpiders. [[AsteroidsMonster Attacking the blobs split them into more blobs]], and while they're slow, they can sap the player's health by mere touch, and their massive numbers can overwhelm the player.

*CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Mr. Frederick White]] is the sadistic head of TheIlluminati. Originally a scientist during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII who grew jealous of [[WellIntentionedExtremist Dr. Winston Cray]], he fled to the Midwest, where he performed horrific experiments on people. When the alien Edgar and his colony crash-land on Earth, White makes a deal with the aliens, exchanging them humans to experiment on in return for both their technology as a way to spy on people, and a virus that turns humans into animalistic monsters, with White hoping to unleash it onto the world. Once [[PlayerCharacter Ethan Cole]] and his men investigate Area 51, White has his clones and Illuminati members kill Ethan's squad mates and Dr. Cray.
