Blair Witch Reviews
if you a fan of scary games then I’d definitely recommend you give this a play, especially considering that you can play it included in Game Pass.
Blair Witch is an improvement over Bloober Team’s past work and I hope to see them further explore more game mechanics in their titles. Even though they’re good at perception-altering visuals, I want to see them branch out more and more. I think that one day in the future, Bloober Team could release a truly knockout horror game.
Blair Witch merges already seen gameplay mechanics, not that great level design and a bad technical aspect with a good atmosphere and great story, making a pleasant horror experience for every fan of the genre.

If you're into this genre or if you're a Blair Witch fan, you should check this one out, but it doesn't offer much to other players.

In all, Bloober Team has done a great job of capturing the feel and ethos of the film series.
Interesting on paper, but lacks tension and is full of technical and gameplay issues and repetitive tasks. Blair Witch is full of unmet potential that doesn't stack up to the reputation of Bloober Team.

Bloober Team’s misfire takes interesting liberties with the source material but often forgets the terror at the heart of it.
Blair Witch adds another layer of fear to its enticing lore and is yet another horror hit of 2019 for Bloober Team
Blair Witch has a great storyline, unfortunately technical issues disturbs the whole atmosphere, and the same applies for the poor level of design, where you unnecessarily spin in circles. You will finish the game in about 5 hours, but it will look like 8 hours, maybe 9 hours. The game is a proof that much more work must be done for a great idea. We recommend at 6 out of 10.

There are many games of psychological terror out there, but very few tend to push us to the limit with their premise.

Blair Witch may not be the scariest title out there, but what it lacks in horror it makes up for with tension, and an adorable dog that reaffirms the phrase "man's best friend
Technical troubles and predictability hurt what is otherwise a heart-pumping horror with a story worth uncovering
Blair Witch might just become one of the most satisfying psychological horror experiences on consoles. Despite the protagonist's weak story, the context and sound design in the game turn into a unique experience.

The Blair Witch Project fans and horror game fans alike will find lots to enjoy here.
Technical issues aside, Blair Witch makes for a satisfying experience with an oppressive atmosphere, an engaging plot and interesting gameplay mechanics. There’s also plenty of written plot details and collectable items dotted throughout the game, should players enjoy themselves enough to come back and attempt to figure out how to unlock some of alternative endings.
If you are looking for grim atmosphere and slow-paced gameplay, then Blair Witch is definitely for you.

Blair Witch is impressive and cleverly designed in many ways. Although there are answers to the abundant amount of questions that start to stir up over the course of the game, the end result still leaves many of those to be unanswered. The visual and sound fidelity provides an excellent foundation to the story that is being told. For psychological horror fans, it will scratch that much-needed itch.
With "Blair Witch" the developer studio Bloober Team has succeeded in creating a solid horror title, which offers good story technical approaches, but can't fully exploit its potential. Even though the atmospheric sound and the use of dark colors completely convey the feeling of disorientation, the game lacks captivating gameplay mechanics. The interaction with the animal companion as well as the use of flashlight and cam fits perfectly to the setting - but the very generic puzzles quickly cause boredom. And even if the first minutes of the game guarantee a real goose bump feeling, you'll be sobered when you notice that the eponymous Blair witch doesn't really make a big entrance in "Blair Witch". Fans of atmospheric horror games can get their own picture of the Black Hills Forest - but you shouldn't hope for the big scary scenes.

Blair Witch, much like the rest of the franchise, is a disappointment. It's not scary, it's rarely interesting and it's not particularly fun to play. It has a solid look, but is lacking in just about every other department. I say this begrudgingly, but you're better off watching the films.
