- Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition is still a great game, and still one of the most winning horror experiences on the platform. But if you play it, be sure to revisit it on the PC or console - you'll thank me later.
Bella Blondeau · Oct 29, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - At the end of the day, this is a sub-par port of an average game. The story in Blair Witch isn’t anything special even if the main character was good, poorly programmed AI hampers innovative mechanics, the game design isn’t that thought out, and the game’s atmosphere and aesthetic are hurt by this port’s low resolution.
Cullen Black · Jul 15, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - More than anything, the biggest disappointment with Blair Witch is that it somehow feels more like a game that had been made before having the IP applied to it. In the end, the story ends up being incredibly cliche and uninteresting, the setting is not all that fun or even all that frightening to walk around in, and the graphical downgrade is just another unfortunate brick in the wall that kept me from really enjoying my time with the game.
Joe Devader · Jun 30, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Blair Witch starts off strong, throwing its players into a setting that comes with some pretty terrifying baggage for anyone who's familiar with the film upon which it is based. It's got a handful of fun mechanics, including the absolute star of the show, Bullet, and its story comes on strong towards the end, injecting the final third with some real tension.
PJ O'Reilly · Jun 29, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Blair Witch on the Switch remains an unnerving and creepy experience that has plenty of interesting gameplay concepts, but it‘s also severely lacking compared to other versions.
Nathan Gibson · Jun 25, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Blair Witch is a good homage to the film but stands on its own as a spooky, lost-in-the-woods, romp that doesn't go far enough with some of its story beats.
Christopher Coke · Dec 30, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - For a game called Blair Witch, its namesake largely takes a backseat to the skeletons already in the protagonist’s closet when he ventures into her haunted woodland playground. That makes him ripe for the tormenting, but observing the man gradually coming undone under the strain of his own trauma is compelling enough without adding a whole new layer of paranormal misery.
Jack Allin · Dec 16, 2019 Reviewed onRead full review - Blair Witch's strongest aspect -- its eerie woodland setting -- is perfect for a focused, streamlined, horror experience. Unfortunately, that's not what this game is, and the superfluous, gimmicky gameplay mechanics that are thrown at you with reckless abandon only serve to make the game less effective as a whole. A disappointing story, frustrating level design, and precious few genuine scares leaves us hoping that this is one franchise that gets lost in the woods.
John Cal McCormick · Dec 09, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Ultimately, Blair Witch is an intriguing story plagued by unsatisfactory gameplay, with a few neat ideas sprinkled throughout. Your canine companion presents some interesting mechanics, along with altering time through the camcorders, but in the end, even these features aren’t enough to save Blair Witch from being a chore to play. There’s still some to appreciate like the characters and story, which make Blair Witch almost enjoyable.
Joseph Yaden · Dec 09, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - In a year filled with great horror titles like Resident Evil 2, Moons of Madness, and The Beast Inside, Blair Witch ended up being just an okay addition to the list. It’s not fantastic, but it isn’t terrible either. It’s a fairly competent game with some excellent gameplay ideas that are hindered by technical issues and some poor design choices. With that being said, it is still much better than the insanely boring movie it was based off. Yes, I still stand by my opinion regarding that lame film.
