Blair Witch Reviews
Bloober Team's Blair Witch game sequel to 1999's The Blair Witch Project introduces an inventive combination of gameplay mechanics and a spooky story.
In the end, I’m confident in the following claim: Bloober Team’s Blair Witch is the best entry in the franchise since the original The Blair Witch Project. I very much look forward to jumping back in to find everything that I might have missed and to try and unlock another ending.
In all, Bloober Team has done a great job of capturing the feel and ethos of the film series.
Blair Witch is a harrowing walk in the woods that deserves a spot in the horror game pantheon alongside Amnesia, Silent Hill, and their like.
There are many games of psychological terror out there, but very few tend to push us to the limit with their premise.

Blair Witch nails the feeling of the original movie, producing the same paranoia and terror as many felt in the cinemas back in 1999. An essential experience for any horror fan. [OpenCritic note: Gary Bailey separately reviewed the console [9] and Switch [8] versions. Their scores have been averaged.]
Blair Witch is an instant classic in terms of a horror game. It pulls off tension-building, forces the player to creep themselves out and does it all with a minimum of jump scares. The story alone is a reason to play. If you're brave enough.
Absorbing and frightful story in the woods based on the cinematic lore of Blair Witch.

Bloober Team makes an honorable tribute to the mythology of Blair Witch, not only by recreating its atmosphere and distinctive elements, but by building an intense and significant experience.

Bloober Team has once again delivered, giving us one of the strongest games in the genre, and one that could have very well been the inspiration for an upcoming film. While frame rate hiccups, moments where Bullet’s hard to follow, and story moments that make you scratch your head, Blair Witch is fantastic and easily one of my favorite games within the horror-survival genre.
Blair Witch takes place in the year 1996, two years after the events of the first movie and stands as its own story not connected to the sequels.
Although presenting some technical flaws (which can be fixed with an update), Blair Witch stands out for being a horror game that sticks to the psychological horror side instead of jump scares. Featuring elements from Silent Hill, Forest and S.O.N, the title easily bears the trophy of one of the best games of its genre in 2019.

After playing this I’ve decided that I’m not a fan of scary games. If you are, boy do you have a treat here?!
Its mechanics, setting and artistic design come together when offering a title that tries to generate fear in the player, respecting his intelligence and avoiding falling into the most manic topics of the genre.

The Blair Witch franchise has never been able to capture the magic of the original movie in the years since, but this may be the closest attempt yet thanks to the effective use of the a psychological focused story and gameplay that feels fairly fresh within the horror genre.
The problems that I brought up prevent Blair Witch from being truly excellent, but Bullet's glitchy moments and the performance issues are things that the developer can hopefully improve with an update, making a great game even better. Even as it is, though, I still highly recommend Blair Witch if you're a fan of horror titles.
Blair Witch is one of the most unexpected games in genre, which perfectly combines oppressive atmosphere, interesting characters, multi-dimensional plot and beautiful graphics on the PC. If you were looking for the best horror of the year after Resident Evil 2, then you found it.

Despite being rough around the edges, Blair Witch is a survival horror delight that will no doubt enrapture fans of the long-running franchise. It stays faithful to what makes the mythos so enticing, while pushing it into some unpredictable new directions.
Despite some shortcomings, Blair Witch is an outstanding horror game with great atmosphere, puzzles, and story.

Blair Witch captivated me in a way that no other horror game has ever done before. A brilliant story that is complimented by even better gameplay allows for an enjoyable, yet terrifying experience. It has a few issues in terms of gameplay but iron those out and it's near perfect.
