Foul Play

The network appeared the first estimates of the horror Blair Witch from the Krakow studio Bloober Team. The creators of the Layers of Fear series made the game based on one of the most recognizable horror stories in history. What happened? Judging by the reviews, it’s not bad, but not perfect. After 18 reviews on the Metacritic portal, the average score is 74/100.

Reviewers are impressed by the atmosphere of the project. Blair Witch is perfectly shown the gloomy Black Hills forest, known for the 1999 film. It is full of paths that return us to the starting point, which makes it easy to get lost. In combination with talking on a walkie-talkie or phone, this creates a feeling of loneliness and isolation.

However, one of the most frequently cited shortcomings is the untapped potential of a mechanic. We are accompanied by the faithful bullet dog that leads through the forest, reports threats and finds important objects. On the one hand, this brings variety to the gameplay, and on the other, a four-legged friend is easy to overlook and get lost. A low level of difficulty is also noted. In particular, this applies to fights during which the flashlight must be directed to the place indicated by the dog.
