Blair Witch

Push Square

Agreement—

Blair Witch's strongest aspect -- its eerie woodland setting -- is perfect for a focused, streamlined, horror experience. Unfortunately, that's not what this game is, and the superfluous, gimmicky gameplay mechanics that are thrown at you with reckless abandon only serve to make the game less effective as a whole. A disappointing story, frustrating level design, and precious few genuine scares leaves us hoping that this is one franchise that gets lost in the woods.

Agreement—

Blair Witch too often lets trivial combat and simple puzzles get in the way of an engrossing and unsettling setting that captures the true spirit of the original film.

Blair Witch fails to find new scares in an old idea.

Blair Witch is lumbering and predictable, as horror often is, and the rattling moments come mostly from jumpscares. The rest is a tepid sort of horror.

A fine take on psychological horror cut down by bugs and wonkiness.

This game deserves a spot in the horror pantheon alongside Amnesia, Silent Hill, and their like.

Blair Witch ends on a high note, but you need to endure plenty of nonsense to get there.
