    An atmospheric horror that remains faithful to the groundbreaking original movie, Blair Witch works well on Switch, though not without one or two technical issues.

    Blair Witch is, above everything else, an adventure full of good ideas. Despite some technical issues, it is a breath of fresh air, a first-person experience that does not fall into the cliché of being a jumpscare roller coaster or a simple horror walking simulator.

    The game is ok. It has flaws and issues in many places:
    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.

    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
