    Blair Witch is probably best played on other platforms, where the pop-in is not so atrocious, and where the game won't break. The atmosphere during the day time is diminished thanks to the low level detail that generates only a couple of meters away. These glaring flaws hurt Blair Witch from becoming immersive, and the obtuse path to the good ending won't be figured out without a guide. There is potential here, since the foundation is solid, but this version is not easily recommended.

    Wanting to bring something new to the Blair Witch lore, the game took a giant swing at a story it had no business trying to tell. Though it has some decent scares and mechanics, strip the “yikes” of a story away and you’re left with a basic linear game full up with bugs.

    1. The dog Bullet, gets lost with the background . You can’t spot him easily. Also it doesn’t respond to commands at times. Sometimes is not even helpful , just runs around.
    2. Because of the space-time loop you get lost pretty easily with the surroundings and end up walking in eternal circles.
    3. Mechanics are poorly explained. Would have been solved with a controls diagram and better tutorials.
    4. Some sections are tedious and poorly guided/explained: the chasing sections . 5. The story becomes absurd and bizarre. I know is Blair Witch but it became too much wierd. 6. Visuals became way too dark and blurry.
    7. Instead of scared I became bitter and angry at the frustrating moments the game has. 8. Good ideas poorly executed.
    9. Has some bugs: you can get stuck in the background and had to restart.
    Overall: not bad just ok bordering in mediocre game.    … Full Review »

    Hi horror fans just skip the bad critics and play that descent game.With so few choices of horror games at switch I think that is a must buy choice.

    Poor port with poor graphics even in handheld it plays poor. A game of this kind should not have been hard to port with all its good looks
