I'm a big Bloober Team fan. I loved Layers of Fear and I thought it was the best horror game of the year, despite the fact that many snob-reviewers gave it unjustifiably critical scores. I enjoyed Observer and thought it was an existentially brain-melting sci-fi ride even if it did have lots of flaws. However, Blair Witch is a definitive step backwards. Blair Witch is a game with an interesting idea, polished production, wrapped in a litany of bugs, flaws and errors that ruin the experience. Despite having great graphics, Blair Witch has poor Unreal Engine 4 performance. The gameplay with Bullet, your dog companion is unique and interesting, however the game is very fragile and relies on a series of key unlock events. If you skip a specific event, or pursue the game in the wrong order, you break the experience, resulting in blocked progress, which happened to me.

Ultimately, if you don't mind paying 30 USD for a 6 hour experience that consists of 3-4 hours of aimless wandering in the dark, glitchy woods, then Blair Witch is for you. But if you have more substantial expectations for your money, pass on this game until it drops to 10-15 USD, maybe less.

Not worth the time. You'll find better games elsewhere.

6/10.
