Blair Witch VR

In 1999 I spent a summer working as a lumberjack

Blair Witch VR is a hilarious reworking of the original psychological horror game into a virtual reality environment. While the graphics are mediocre, it makes up for these shortcomings in intuitive controls. The story treatment is nice and the game manages to create the right spooky atmosphere. The variety of ways to work with Bullet the dog is perfect, but his behaviour is a bit imperfect, especially fetching, and the frequent barking is annoying.

From Blair Witch: VR Edition’s unsatisfying attempts at terror to forgettable characters and absolutely poor graphics, you have plenty of reason to skip this hike through the woods. Throw in some game-breaking bugs and glitches to an already lacking experience, and your $29.99 is better spent elsewhere. Let this be a testament that horror games don’t always need a VR port to continue to be scary.
