Blair Witch Review Summary

FairCritic Consensus

Authentic Experience

Blair Witch builds on the aesthetics of the cult classic film by providing an authentic horror experience.

Frustrating Game Design

Some poorly designed puzzles and mediocre game design bog down the overall experience.

Poor Performance on Switch

The Switch port of Blair Witch suffers with numerous graphical and performance issues.

Blair Witch is a great tribute to the cult classic 90s film, but some mediocre puzzle design and occasional performance issues do ruin the overall experience.

A fine take on psychological horror cut down by bugs and wonkiness.

Blair Witch does a good job capturing the sensation of getting lost – something I actively try to avoid. A memorable final act partially redeems the tedium of getting to that point

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.

Blair Witch makes a valiant effort to revive the franchise, and while it won't generate the hype of the 1999 film, it's a worthwhile horror title despite some flaws discussed above.
