Review: Can you believe that it has been 22 years since the release of ‘The Blair Witch Project’. But that doesn’t mean this game feels dated or old. In fact, despite being not initially made for VR and part of a dating franchise it is still a pretty great horror game! This time around you are playing the role of a former police offer called Ellis as he goes out looking for a missing young boy. While the graphics are not going to blow you away (especially when running on a high-end PC) they are good enough to make the dark and scary atmosphere feel cold and ominous. With a good 5 hours plus you should get your money’s worth here, especially if you get stuck on a few parts which is more than possible. I have to admit my expectations for this game were set to low, but I was generally surprised at just how good it is.
