    It would be a worthy and truly scary successor to the original Blair Witch Project, if not for its lacklustre technical execution and uninspired confrontations. As it stands, Blair Witch is a mixed bag: at times truly great, but more often than not just not good enough.

    Good ideas are undermined by overuse and a lack of tension, but Blair Witch does leave you thinking ‘What if?’ and demands to be replayed . [Issue#171, p.97]

    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.

    For fans of the Blair Witch franchise, this game is an interesting vignette which fleshes out the universe a little more. But for those looking for a horror game filled with good scares, this is probably one to pass on.

    "Blair Witch" plays like a cross between "Silent Hill" and "Amnesia". Bloober Team (Layers of Fear) does a good job paying tribute to the"Blair Witch" plays like a cross between "Silent Hill" and "Amnesia". Bloober Team (Layers of Fear) does a good job paying tribute to the movies. The game is only about 6 hours long, but there are four different endings. This is a slow-burn survival horror game filled with item management, exploration and puzzles. The dog that can help you is a nice touch. Overall, not great, but enjoyable. If you want a spooky game to play during the Halloween season, this is a decent one. I would rate it with a 7 out of 10… Full Review »

    Occasionally creepy and it may make you jump. More thought needed to be put into the endings though.
