    I like this game but I'm having trouble finding where to go without cheating by looking to game play guides but I still like this game and I'll someday make it out of the woods

    This sounds odd, but this game is not very good, but I still enjoyed it. I enjoyed it because I like the world and lore of the Blair Witch, and this game captures that well at times.

Most of the game unfortunately is just walking around a dark forest looking for the next clue, but for one reason or another I enjoyed doing that. Solving the puzzles and fighting the forest monsters was fun for me personally. The last mission had me be the tensest I have ever been for an extended period of time, although it goes on for way too long. The characters and dialogue were good in my opinion, and I like how this game has two different endings. Many plot points don't make sense or are not explained by the game. There's a YouTube video that explains that but given the fact that the game itself couldn't do that is a massive problem to me. Given the fact that the plot doesn't make a whole lot of sense, mixed with the facts that it's not scary most of the time and much of the game is just walking around a forest, normally I would say this game is terrible. That being said, I genuinely had fun with this game sense I like puzzles, the Blair Witch universe, and it made me think about how to accomplish the next task. Therefore, I gave this game the rating that I did. Also, bullet is a very good boy. He's like my neighbor's dog but not morbidly obese.… Expand

    A short, low-budget game based on the film of the same name. Average. A story similar to other average horror games. The atmosphere is solid, the graphics too, the only problem is the extremely poor lighting. Too dark. The roads are barely visible, so you often get lost in the woods and turn in a circle constantly.

    The main protagonist decides to help hunt for a local missing boy in the woods, so he loads up his trusty dog and sets out to explore the most irritating forest ever. Mostly it's a mind trip rather than a story. None of it makes much sense and you just wind up wandering aimlessly in the forest trying to walk (very slowly) toward something that will move the story forward. But just wait until it gets dark, when you can be chased by invisible things!

    The only mildly interesting mechanic was the dog, but most of the time that is more frustrating than cool.    … Expand

    Although it's not an overly long game I still felt it was padded. Considering the gameplay is centered around exploring a forest they manage to provide some interesting and fun ways of making each chapter feel distinct. The final chapter has some excellent visuals for example. But nonetheless I often found myself wanting the game to be over.

Considering the gameplay is centered around exploring a forest they manage to provide some interesting and fun ways of making each chapter feel distinct. The final chapter has some excellent visuals for example. But nonetheless I often found myself wanting the game to be over. There are parts where you simply have to wait for your character to pass out or for a phone call but it takes such a very very long time. I assume the devs were attempting to build tension but it just fell flat as I found myself growing bored in several parts of the game.

    Probably the biggest flaw is the story. The fractured narrative doesn't really contain any shocking reveals in my opinion and I didn't feel connected to any of the characters except for bullet the dog. I also found the ending was short, kind of dumb and didn't match how I had acted throughout the game.

    There are some good jump scares but not that many. It's scarier than most horror games but that's not difficult. It's not exactly going to stay with you and give you nightmares. Overall it was fine. Good enough to finish but fails to make much of an impression.    … Expand

    In terms of play, it was rather poor, I would have liked more interaction.

    Visually it looks okay, but technically it is sometimes very weak. Had a bug twice in the short time that required a restart. The transitions between sequences were also incorrect. Individual texture glitches and slight jerking in some places distracted something from the atmosphere.

    From the topic it goes e.g. also the ways of a Hellblade (I had been reminded of it several times), but its narrative content is much weaker. I thought the last chapter in Blair Witch was very cool.

    All in all an entertaining atmospheric horror trip that has a few weaknesses to offer. 6/10 wooden figures.    … Expand

    Como é difícil adaptar filmes e séries de cinema nos jogos eletrônicos!
    Mais um jogo nesse estilo adaptativo para se esquecer, ele não consegue ser nada bom, parece meio genérico e muito chato com suas mecânicas, nem os sustos são bacanas, eu realmente me decepcionei demais.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego tiene un buen comienzo, pero mientras más avanza se puede notar que no es un juego de terror completamente, es un juego lineal pero andaras en círculos la mayor parte resolviendo acertijos o buscándolos, ya que no están señalados y es ahí cuando el juego pierde ritmo. Bullet, tu compañero canino es una idea muy buena te llegas a encariñar gracias a la ayuda que te brinda, pero a veces le pierdes el rastro en las zonas boscosas y es necesario llamarlo para que continúes con tu camino.
    La historia no es muy profunda y se puede resumir en alguien que busca la redención y acaba en manos de la bruja de Blair, a menos que saques el final bueno , que es cuando rompes el ciclo.
    Finalmente sus puntos fuertes son el apartado gráfico y los sonidos que te mantienen alerta. Es un juego que no volvería a jugar, por ahora. ya que no es lo que esperaba quizá en un futuro me anime a sacar el final bueno aunque viendo los requisitos para hacerlo limitará más al jugador.    … Expand

    Blair Witch grabs the lore of the 1999 movie and throws it into a video game set in 1996 where you play as former police officer Ellis as you search for a missing young boy in the black hills forest with your ever so shifting partner bullet.. who is customizable and the games developers couldn’t even bother to make the cutscenes to match your customizable options.. which leads me to wonder.. why even let me customize.. already disappointed and the disappointments don’t stop in this 6 hour chore of a game...
    First of all.. Blair Witch is basically unplayable on the xbox game pass for pc… if you play in full screen, which I did for narly half of the game… its so dark this feels more like a movie based on bird box.. and I just though no, this is how the game was meant to be. Especially because the opening sequence was so blown out, and I could see perfectly fine in the day time, it wasn’t until after I noticed my recording software have a hard time capturing the gameplay in full screen that I relized that if you play out of full screen, the game actually looks fine and is finally playable.. but still not enjoyable… this is a game all about being lost in the woods and you constantly feel like this, youre stuck in the same areas of the game both in and out of the woods far too long, that this sacks you with the chore feelings, bullet is there with you to sniff out clues and help lead you through thankfully… you really come to rely on him to get through this game… but as a game from the bloobr team, you do see a lot of that layers of fear styled design, with a really cool rewind mechanic that allows you to alter the world around you by pausing tapes found throughout the world at the right time, I just wish we saw more of the bloobr team spirit, as it disappears outside of these few moments and the final chapter of the game.. but even that final chapter drug onto much…
    Blair witch overall is just a disappointment…and if youre gaming on pc, it’s a disappointment not even worth the hassle to try and play…
    The world quickly goes from intriguing to I cant wait for this to be over…

    Pozytywne zaskoczenie! Bardzo ciekawa i intrygująca fabuła, która nie raz potrafi zaskoczyć. Tytuł trzyma w napięciu, często zmuszając nas do myślenia. Sekwencja końcowa z domem moim zdaniem ciut za długa i przez to trochę irytująca. Wbrew opiniom gra nie jest zbytnio straszna jak na horror. Mimo to bawiłem się dobrze. Idealna na jednorazowe ogranie.

I read there are glitches in the game where you can get stuck or it takes a bit for the world to render giving you the direction your suppose to go in..but holy that would suck if I was just playing and not noticing the game was glitching and stuck at the same part. Anyways...Blair witch was a fail to me. It was boring and I really gave it a chance but it kinda sucked really bad.

    The game in itself is great entertainment. Even as a hard person to scare, it had some truely terrifying moments enough for me to jump. I encourage more of these types of games. I hope to see better frame rates in the future, probably rhe biggest detractor of the game. Not something that should stop you playing the game, especially if you have a gamepass.

    The Blair Witch Project first hit our movie screens over twenty years ago and whilst it wasn’t the most scariest film that’s ever been seen it had a vibe about it that drew you in and what was happening on screen was actually believable due to that vibe.

The film was actually pretty successful as well but I would’ve never have thought that a game would have been made about it. That being said when it was first announced I was actually looking forward to Blair Witch the game and if done right it could be one of those games that scares the back of your hair on your neck up like a cat, and was hoping that was the case because I love a game that truly scares you. Thankfully it did scare me some and even though it isn’t perfect if you’re one of those who likes to be scared then Blair Witch needs to be in your library. Basically you’re a police officer who joins the search of a missing nine year old boy and tracking down this boy is full of horror and events that make you wish you weren’t there. The story sounds simple and to a degree it is but as you progress you realise that the character you play as has a lot of depth to them and as things go even further you start to imagine actually being this person experiencing the horrifying events he’s gone through at the same time. This in turn makes things become even more immersive and at the same time you become to get very attached to the character your portraying.Yes there are quite a few things that make this game stand out but for me the biggest thing that makes Blair Witch stand out is the atmosphere. I’m not exaggerating when I say then that the atmosphere is so tense that you’re always on the edge of your seat and dreading what will happen next because the visual style and stellar sound design infuse together perfectly creating a horrifying experience at every turn. The puzzles should also get a special mention because they are quite clever and give the gameplay and atmosphere an extra layer which in turn makes the events feel that little bit more important. definitely a solid offering for those enjoying their Xbox late at night.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. HThis is a VERY badly designed game story-wise that gives no possibility of a satisfying ending. I'll explain why.

    1. Your whole interaction with your girlfriend has no bearing on the game. No matter how you treat her - patching things up or not - has no effect on the story. She's literally like a dead piece of game code. 2. They lie when they tell you to trust your dog, Bullet. Especially when you want to go for the good ending. When you play the game for the first time (and best time - no replay value), you will assume that breaking totums is something a good person would do (because they scare the sh!t out of Bullet, and because THEY'RE LEFT BY THE WITCH, so screw her), right? Wrong. You're apparently evil for wanting to remove the thing that scares the dog that you were told to trust. Also, you'd expect that killing the supernatural beings in the woods would be something that a good person would do (because your dog barks at them, they attack your dog, you're in the Blair witch's woods, so they must be associated with her, and screw her), right? Wrong again! Apparently the supernatural beings in the woods are there by chance. They are not at all associated with the witch. So killing them is evil. This is terrible story design. There's nothing satisfying or intuitive about this game setup. These are not the acts af a good person. They are simply dead game mechanics. Which brings me to my next point about bad story telling design:


    3. There's creatures in the woods that wants to harm you THAT'S NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE BLAIR WITCH!! WTF?! THIS IS A BLAIR WITCH GAME!! The Blackwood forest is not supposed to be a magical forest full of magical creatures, it's supposed to be a normal forest that's haunted by an evil scary ass witch!

    4. You are punished for exploring. Because if you find figurines this way, you can't pick them up (because this is considered evil - again, why!?). As a matter of fact, the first one is waiting for you to pick up (and blow any chance of a good ending) even before you enter the woods.. Let that sink in.. Oh, and.. 5. You can't save the lost boy (he's dead FYI) . You can never escape the forest. You can never one up the witch. You are either evil or you die a coward. This crappy story design is right up there with the last seasons of HIMYM and GOT, and SW episode 8. Terrible terrible terrible story design. It's 6hours of my life that I will never get back. Truly one of the most unfulfilling experiences of my life. Stay away. Please    … Expand

    A história em sim é boa, com o tempo vai se acostumando que o foco é no personagem principal e os seus distúrbios, e não a Bruxa em si, a mesma e a floresta são só um agravante dentro do contexto. O ponto que eu poderia deixar como negativo, é a duração. Com certeza é muito curto.

    Blair Witch is a successful videogame translation of what made the original film so haunting. It doesn’t move far outside the dev team’s comfort zone, but the warmth of the relationship between a man and his dog almost made it worth fighting through the motion sickness it gave me. Almost.

    Blair Witch captivated me in a way that no other horror game has ever done before. A brilliant story that is complimented by even better gameplay allows for an enjoyable, yet terrifying experience. It has a few issues in terms of gameplay but iron those out and it's near perfect.
