    Blair Witch 2019 plays like a cross between Firewatch, The film 1408, and trying REALLY hard to be Hellblade: Sesuna's Sacrifice with some Spec Ops thrown in.

    The narratives biggest downfall was ultimately it probably should not have been tied to the Blair Witch IP. Outside of a couple little nuggets, there is one element that this game explores about the movie franchise dating back to the 1999 film and actually gives a decent explanation for it. That said if you were to remove those elements from the game and gave it a new IP the game would have ultimately been a lot better, If for no other reason than things would not be so expected

    Now personally I am not a horror game fan. They do not scare me. I have a lifetime of watching horror film too that contributes to the desensitization. That is probably why I was able to pick out the central hook of the plot by either the second or third chapter. Others might not pick up on it till later, but I think an experienced mind likely would.

    Mechanically there were some definite technical issues. Mostly cropping up in later chapters of the game. For example lost my dog in the fog but needed to give it instructions but could not find it, and ultimately I stumbled where the dog was supposed to be guiding me on my own and magically the dog appears, BUT the camera shoots (for the only time) into 3rd person perspective and I was without feet and a head, floating in air at what was supposed to be a critical crescendo of the narrative. Ruined the immersion of that moment completely. Later the whole UI disappeared and not like it had through most of the game where you were locked out of GUI functions. Rather no buttons could trigger their respective actions and I was unable to move forward until I restarted the game and all function return to normal. These are just some of the glitches I experienced but all in all they were not TOO terrible. Game probably could have used another 6 months for polish to work these things out.

    I will say that as far as level design goes they made one of the most authentic looking forests ive seen in a while. Only problem is that while there is a reason for it, sets are reused and carbon copied WAY too much. When you get into an actual building you will see some next level euclidean forged Whovian architectural design.

    Now I will say that Chapter 17 is absolutely friggen ridiculous. It is not in any sense enjoyable, it is tedious, it is drawn out forever and ultimately there is so little happening that you will wonder why they made it that long and not 1/4th its length. What is perplexing is that for most of the game up till that point the mechanics of the game were pretty cut and dry standard fare. They introduced a new mechanic in this chapter. Used it way too much when it should have been present in smaller doses in earlier chapters.

    Ultimately the game clocks in around 5-6 hours of content and realistically it could have been whittled down to about half that and if its price reflected its size that would have made for a good game. The back half is just waaaaay too padded to be excusable.

    All in all Its not a terrible game. I have sat and waded through far far worse than this. Its short run time does help forgive some of its flaws with pacing. You can tell this is an indie project and for that its definitely decent. It could have been more. Much more but in the end what you have is a hodgepodge of decent ideas cobbled together that ultimately the sum s not any better than any of its parts.. I would actually give it a 4.75 if I could because it just cant quite break the 50% barrier in my opinion. Your mileage of course may vary.

    I really wanted to love this but after finishing it I could just as easily abandon it out in the woods as I would to keep it. Take that for what ever opinions from strangers on the internet are going for these days.    … Expand

    This game is badly optimized: fps is near 10 on most modern pc and many players has different problems like crashes and bugs. I faced with rare problem: the game has no voice acting in dialogues so I can't immerse myself into it. This is the worst Bloober Team's game.

    The forest looks really nice. Very realistic. None of the scares or monsters are cheesy.

    The forest looks really nice. Very realistic. None of the scares or monsters are cheesy. Overall they did a pretty decent job of sticking to the Lovecraft formula of "what you can't see will scare you far more than what you CAN see". And there are some things you technically CAN see, unlike the original movie where you never saw anything resembling a monster, but the brief glimpses you get are usually so brief or distorted that you can't really make out what you're seeing. Sadly that's about all that the game gets right.

    The bad:
    My biggest gripe with the game is how easy it is to get stuck. There's a small little campsite that you will be absolutely sick of by the time you finish the game because no matter which direction you venture off, it will eventually lead you back to the campsite. And I get it, one of the things from the original movie was that they kept getting lost and seemed to be wandering in circles. So bravo to Bloober team for incorporating that into the game. The problem is they abused this mechanic far beyond it's welcome. Walkthroughs provide the answers to get out of these endless loops but that's immersion breaking.

    Another thing I noticed was an absolute lack of sound. You'd think a forest would have crickets chirping, frogs ribbiting, the occasional hoot of an owl or caw of a bird, but nope. Just the sound of you breathing and walking and the sound of your dog Bullet barking, etc. along with a subtle, low pitched note that usually runs in the background for atmosphere. Perhaps this is intentional, maybe the evil presence in the forest drives birds and insects away, but that's never mentioned in the movie.

    There are some inconsistencies within the story as well, for example the missing boy is initially reported to be wearing a Baltimore Crows cap, then later it's mentioned as a Baltimore Ravens cap, then back to Baltimore Crows. The lack of attention to detail is disappointing. Perhaps they initially started to use Baltimore Ravens and ran into trademark issues with the NFL and forgot to change it. Who knows?

    I experienced none of the frame rate or technical issues mentioned by many, I'm running a Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB RAM, 1070ti machine at 1080p. I was annoyed however by the lack of option to re-bind controls. You're stuck with the game's default keyboard controls, which made me switch to using a controller instead.

    I did encounter one really annoying bug however. This will be spoiler free, but there's a section where you have to slow walk for what feels like about 10 minutes. You can choose to skip the slow walk at the expense of possibly altering the story in a bad way, so I chose to slog through it. At the end of that 10 minutes a small cut scene played and then control was given back to me. Except I couldn't move. I had to restart the game, and it had not auto saved, so I got to do the entire 10 minute slow walk again.

    Lastly, I felt like they took the story/lore in a direction quite a bit different from the movie. I can't say much more than that without spoilers, but The Blair Witch Project is my favorite horror movie of all time so I was disappointed to see the direction they went with it toward the end.

    All in all it's not a horrible game, and certainly worth playing on a deep sale, just temper your expectations some.    … Expand

    This game is Boooooorrrrring.. If you like pressing forward for 6 hours while a game plays itself, you will like this..Sure ocasional you will have to press on something or lazily aim a creature, but it most walking, in the dark, while the annoying dog barks in a high pitched yap.. The performance of the game is even below average.

    It's safe to say that this game does not deserve even half the cash asked and they simply half-assed it intending to pull off sales based on the name and the popularity of the movie alone.

    The game itself is not the worst, it plays well despite lot of people saying it runs poorly. I myself found it running just fine without any noticeable issues. the environment and graphics overall look decent and there are some smaller elements that really shine as a unique feature like the cellphone that includes games on it and i find this to be clever and unique element.

    The big problem of this game is its linear rather mundane story telling. All you really do is follow a dog around as it shows you the right path while solving simple puzzles and occasionally shining a light at potential danger to ward it off and that is really all it is. The game lacks any real potential of horror.

    for 29,99$ the game is more or less a fine addition for any horror fan, but i would probably grab it on a sale as it really does not offer anything new to the table of horror genres.    … Expand

    Game turned out to be a big disappointment for me. Its short, adds nothing to the genre, it borrows most basic stuff from other horror games and it looks plain ugly. And I mean ugly - terrible washed out colors, very blurry textures, it looks like its black and white at times. In a game where the woods environment suppose to immerse you, its a sin.

    And the horror is clearly there, it’s scary, tense and almost had a heart attack at some point in the game, and omg people are complaining like the game cost them $200, but no, the game will cost you $30 for a 5-hour story or you can choose the laggy, buggy and messy man of Medan who will cost you $35

    The game is really good and is clearly not the mess people are talking about, I'm sure that they had problems but expect some patches and it will be fixed, people are acting out of anger and giving the game 0/10 which is clearly not fair.    … Expand

La ambientación esta muy bien construida, tiene uno que otro "screamer" y ya, nada impactante.

    Felizmente e Infelizmente, Blair Witch é um otimo jogo de terror!

Meu PC com a RTX 2060 não conseguiu empurrar 1080p ultra 60fps nesse game, sendo forçado a jogar pro medium pra alcançar os 60fps [ai sim ficou liso].

    Felizmente a aqueles que teram opotunidade de jogar, e infelizmente a aquelas que apenas vão ficar querendo, pois o jogo é muito mal otimizado, e isso é um fato. Meu PC com a RTX 2060 não conseguiu empurrar 1080p ultra 60fps nesse game, sendo forçado a jogar pro medium pra alcançar os 60fps [ai sim ficou liso]. Placas como a 1060 vão suar pra entregar mizeros 40 fps nas configurações mais altas, o que é vergonhoso visto que os graficos não são revolucinarios. Longe disso.

    Mas analisando o jogo, em si, essa é sim uma boa obra. O enredo te prende desde o inicio, lhe dando elementos aos poucos, que vão criando uma atimosfera meramente controlada. Quem tem a minima noção de como uma bruxa age, sabe muito bem que ela foi bem construida pelo simples fato de mexer com nossa mente e só. Não espere combates ou jumpscares forçados, essa não é a proposta do jogo.

    A gameplay é facil e inovadora em alguns aspectos. Acredito que poderiam usar um pouco mais o cachorro, visto que ele só é util meeesmo por metade do game [em "combates", achar objetos e caminhos], mas mesmo assim, amei jogar com ele. A interação com a camera é bem interessante e funciona bem. Algumas vezes o jogo vai te deixar confuso quanto ao que fazer, lhe fazendo dar diversas voltas e ficar perdido, quando na realidade, a solução estava na sua cara [aconteceu 3x comigo...]

    O jogo tem em media 4 a 6 horas de duração, o que é mais do que o suficiente pra mim. Se tem uma coisa que me deixa irritado, é quando um jogo não acaba quando deve acabar. Afinal, sejamos francos, ninguem gosta de ficar sendo enrolado. Se a gameplay não é cativante - como em jogos focados nisso [tiro, corrida, etc], porque prolongar o game pra casa das 10h?

    E, ah... apenas presenciei 2 bugs, nada demais. Enfim, a quem tem condições de rodar o game, está recomendadissimo!    … Expand

However, some of the gameplay mechanics are annoying, the story overall does not come together as a satisfying piece of psychological horror, and 'soldier battling his demons (his ptsd)' is as basic as you can get anyway. When I got to the location where the ending took place, my mind started to race with possibilities for the conclusion (layers on layers of meaning, allegories on allegories, repressed childhood memories running parallel with the present... etc). Instead the ending lands with a dull thud and goes on for soooooo impossbly effin long you begin to question whether it's even worth it to finish the damn thing. Not helping the situation is that other than a few neat (if cheap) tricks, there isn't much else up Blair Witch's sleeve by then. Honestly it's closer to Book of Shadows, than anything else. I have a soft spot for that sequel, so don't take it the wrong way. It's just that wasn't what I was hoping for.

    As a person whose first game from Bloober Team was this, it is a good start. While not perfect with some of its buggy glitchiness here and there, and a final act that drags a bit too long, this is a solid attempt at a Blair Witch game that treats the source material with respect.

While not perfect with some of its buggy glitchiness here and there, and a final act that drags a bit too long, this is a solid attempt at a Blair Witch game that treats the source material with respect.

    Summary: It's 1996. A young boy disappears in the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, Maryland. As Ellis, a former police officer with a troubled past, you join the search. What starts as an ordinary investigation soon turns into an endless nightmare as you confront your fears and the Blair Witch, a mysterious force that haunts the woods.

    What I like about the game is how well the atmosphere is done. The visuals are amazing, and graphic wise, it's a strong suit. And you're companion Bullet is a nice addition to ease your anxiety in stressful situations. Story wise, it's great, investigating a missing 9 year old with tapes that are clues to his disappearance is very unique gameplay as well. Especially with the neat element of being able to MANIPULATE TIME with them, almost like the crime reconstructions in the batman games. When you encounter your first monster later, it can get really intense in the best way possible. With all of that come the negatives. Those being it is really, REALLY easy to get lost for one. And that is really frustrating! Sometimes you go in a loop on purpose for the story. But other times, immersion can be broken by one little invisible barrier. And it doesn't help when Bullet can't tell you the proper way to go when you tell him to 'seek'. Fighting the monsters can also get repetitive considering throughout about 2/3 of this 6 hour or less game, it's the same basic mechanic. They finally switch things up later, but it's in like the last half hour, which in of itself, DRAGS! It's almost like in the finale, it doesn't know when to end, and it's tedious and boring. Which is a shame, considering for the most part, the scare factor was on point. Not to forget about characters, you really don't care about Jess (Ellis' ex-wife). Sheriff Lanninf, cool. Bullet, awesome. Carver, good antagonist. Jess, pointless and doesn't add to the story at all other than just to be another tragic figure to add to the main character's life.

    While certainly not flawless, and the $30 original asking price is a bit much (I paid about $9 for it on sale), it is a good attempt for a Blair Witch game, and a solid attempt at a horror game in general.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's an okay game from the studio who developed Layers of Fear, games, which I love. It has a simple, but effective story, but it's quite linear. It's literally a "get from point A to point B" game, but it's not a massive deal breaker.

    It has a sort of combat, which I like to describe as kind of Alan Wake without the gun. it's obvious they put it in the game for a change of pace, but would have been good if it was expanded a little.

    SPOILER ALERT:

    The part with injured Bullet dragged on for ages. It was like the devs wanted you to leave the dog behind for the bad ending. I wandered that looping scene for literally 15 minutes before the game took over and Ellis passed out.

    The last chapter in the house dragged on for way too long too. Those two points were really the only downsides for me.

    Interesting game, but if you don't like games such as Outlast, Layers of Fear, etc, then avoid. if you do, at least check it out. it's a game with multiple endings, but going through the game once was enough for me.    … Expand

    The game adaptation of the 20-year-old “found footage” phenomenon could have turned out very badly. But thanks to previous experiences of Bloober Team, the finished product is more than a pleasant surprise. The game has its issues, especially in graphic design or in the puzzle section, but the result is excellent. [Issue#298]
