Blair Witch Reviews
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.

Blair Witch brings the horror, but several gameplay and visual bugs drag down an otherwise scary walk through the woods.
The sights and sounds of the forest keep you unsettled, Ellis’ flashbacks and conversations slowly unravel his past, puzzling and combat is nicely interspersed with exploration, and Bullet is one of my new favourite animal companions in a video game.
I found Blair Witch to be one of the most stunning and scary games that I’ve played in a while, with the bonus of hanging out with Bullet. The thing I appreciated is that Blair Witch relies on creating an utterly creepy atmosphere instead of only relying on jumpscares, which there are plenty of.
An interesting horror game that never manages to escape the shadow of its '90s inspiration.
Blair Witch fails to impress at every turn. The story is interesting but unfulfilling, the environment is dull, and the creatures are boring. Worst of all, everything you do is very repetitive. I love horror games but the only thing scary about Blair Witch is how boring it is.
Blair Witch too often lets trivial combat and simple puzzles get in the way of an engrossing and unsettling setting that captures the true spirit of the original film.
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.
Bloober Team has made a name for itself with psychological scares, but every attempt to replicate past successes with Blair Witch is lost faster than a trio of amateur filmmakers.
Undoubtedly the best thing to happen to the Blair Witch since the 1999 film.
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.

Blair Witch goes beyond being a cheap movie game by delivering a thoughtful character and unique game mechanics, making this a solid horror game worth remembering.
Despite some shortcomings, Blair Witch is an outstanding horror game with great atmosphere, puzzles, and story.

Blair Witch manages to do a wonderful job recreating the haunting atmosphere and surroundings of The Blair Witch Project with its own creative twist.
Believe me when I say Terminal Reality's three-volume Blair Witch series is a better use of your time. Or better yet, watch the original found footage classic The Blair Witch Project if you haven't already seen it. It may be hokey, but it's culturally significant – and you may actually walk away a bit shaken.
Blair Witch is a polarizing game. On one hand, Bloober Team does a fantastic job crafting an atmospheric and often frightening adventure. On the other hand, the game includes random glitches that require restarting the game to resolve. Making the only thing holding Blair Witch back is the preventable technical issues.
Absorbing and frightful story in the woods based on the cinematic lore of Blair Witch.

Blair Witch is a creepy, tense expansion on the mythos established by the films and while it does capture the general aesthetic of the movie does stumble in trying to replicate that which made the franchise so well-regarded to this day
Not only does the game cheapen the idea that a dog is man's best friend, it also falls apart like a cheap chew toy.
Despite the technical flaws, this is a game that horror fans must play.
