60 of 136 · most liked firstGreat horror game that translated well into VR! Beware, there are performance issues. I EXTREMELY recommend downloading the OpenVR FSR mod: https://github.com/fholger/openvr_fsr/releases This works for any Unreal Engine (that this game uses) and Unity game. All you do just is download the zip package, then locate the openvr_api.dll file in the game files: /steamapps/common/Blair Witch VR/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/OpenVR/OpenVRv1_5_17/Win64/ Then replace it with the one supplied in the ZIP…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →'The Blair Witch' another great hype from my childhood that I can now experience in virtual reality! When the movie came out I was still a young teenager, and it was also the first time I experienced Dolby surround quality, man was that an experience for me, i'm sure many of you know what i mean. And now with the VR version of Blair Witch you can simply experience these effects through VR perspective as a character of the search. You can watch the first hour of gameplay here:…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game starts out with an interesting atmosphere that you want to explore. As you go along though, it gets repetitive and the dog companion just doesn't stop barking. You can try and quiet him so you can explore a little more, but he never stops barking. Right path? Barking. Wrong path? Barking. Just trying to enjoy the area? Barking. It just ruins it for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you like taking long walks in the woods with your dog and occasionally wetting your pants in sheer terror? Well then, have I got the game for you! Ok, so this is kind of a mixed bag but it's a pretty good horror game for VR. Let's talk pros and cons: The Good: It's a pretty well-made game with great atmosphere. The first ~4 hours, in the woods, are about a 4/10 on the spookiness scale, atmospheric but nothing really scary, but the last ~2 hours, in the house, the spookiness gets cranked…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This devs have achieved the impossible: a game that runs poorly and looks awful at the same time. It's extremely unoptimized and very very very very blurry. Imagine the blurriest VR game you have ever played: this game will top it. After reading the Steam Discussions you will find that you can modify a .INI file in order to play with a much better resolution. The problem is that, if you increase the resolution, the game becomes unplayable even on a top tier GPU. I understand games VR games…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game after reading a lot of the positive reviews below, and after having loves games like Phasmophobia, Labyrinthine, The Forest, etc... I thought I'd give this a go. I will be frank. I was heavily disappointed by this game. TL;DR: Good story, interesting mechanics. Super short chapters ruin immersion with loading screens. ----------------------------------------- Firstly, I will say some good things. The Story. This has clearly had some work put into it. It's extensive,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2 You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/VO4vf3yNyM4 I think the performance issues & the graphical fidelity issues are overstated in most of the reviews. Yes, there are performance issues and the game doesn't look as good as in pancake. However, on my RTX 3080 on high graphical settings, options, & resolution scalability almost set to the max, the game looked better than the vast majority of VR games and was running mostly from 75-90 frames…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So i have started this game twice now got to chapter 3 twice, saved, shut down and then gone to play the next day and my only option is to start a new game, what the hell? add to that terrible performance on a rtx4090, don't buy this broken game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just finished the game and it took me around 4 hours to beat, i would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to play a decent vr campaign especially since its been so long since we had anything out there, it ran perfect on my valve index with very little to no bugs, also performance for me was fine nothing that made this game feel unplayable. glad i finally got a chance to play this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is some game in this bug.... If you think that the scary part of this game is the witch, you are wrong...the most scary part is the hairless dog that disappear, appear in front of your face and float literally in the air...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Full disclosure: I was provided a review key by bloober team, I was not told to say anything positive but I feel that, the transparency is still important. That being said, I have played very little of this game thus far, however I do intend to attempt to play more, I finished the original game multiple times and feel it is a great horror game. The translation to VR however is awful. The controls are very poor and the game is just ugly as all hell even on the best settings. There is a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have no clue how this game can look so bad while performing so poorly. Im running on a 2070 super for reference.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I say this game made me let out the most primordial, fear induced scream; scared me, the gf, the cat, my brother down the hall, the neighbors, I ain't lying. Good stuff
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was scary but the VR port itself wasn't so great near the end. Some of the puzzles near the end of the game are broken. They literally require you to carry the puzzle pieces from point a to b because if you let go of the pieces, they go into your inventory. The inventory system does not exist in the VR version, or rather, is not accessible in the VR version as it is not mapped out to any of the buttons on the VR controller, and you cannot map it in the settings menu. Better off…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →𖤐𖤐𖤐𖤐𖤐 Loved the normal version so much that I had to play it in VR and I was not disappointed. The best VR horror experience I've ever had. There's something about walking through the woods in the dark and looking around with a flashlight that just feels so good in VR.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had its moments, but overall, I think I'd have rather played it flatscreen. Just not well optimized or built for VR. Clunky interface, annoying controls, and confusing story moments.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some games were not meant to be ported to VR. This is one of them. It's awful, the game engine, art assets, etc. It looks terrible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is 90% a walking simulator. It was only in the last chapter that I felt like I was actually playing a horror game, though after a few minutes, I realized I couldn't see anything anyway, so it didn’t matter much. The remaining 10% of "combat," "chases," and puzzles are really simple and easy—perhaps too easy. The VR features are mostly good, but the cutscenes are pre-recorded, so they’re not in VR, which feels really disappointing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play basic Blair Witch version vs the Blair Witch VR. -Quality is pretty bad in VR -Cutscenes are a little awkward to watch.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs bad on a RTX 2070 Super (i think that an optimization patch will be coming out soon) still pretty fun though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Did anyone experience terrible fps? Couldn't even play since it was so bad. Really hope there is a fix to this. I really doubt it'd be my pc but I put some specs in case. Pc Specs: Windows 10 Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Intel I9 32gb ram
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs incredibly poor even on modern hardware, which is a shame because this looks like a game up my alley. Cannot recommend unless you have the hardware to run it. If you want Blair Witch, stick with the flatscreen version.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I knew reachin the cabin on the hill would require this much walking, I'd brough a quad. The Blair Witch VR is mostly a walking simulator. So much walking. But that makes sense. You are in a forest looking for a missing kid after all. Together with your loyal dog Bullet you set out on a long hike to find a missing kid. It starts pretty mundane but it gets more and more twisted as it goes on. Its a great game, it gets into your mind and later on you will understand things aren't the way…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game breaking bug in chapter 6. there's a cutscene area, and after it ends i'm supposed to teleport back to normal corridor, but i don't, and there's no way to progress. at least dog
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →creepy but too many bugs, such a shame of a game :( Still love bloober team.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved the game in 2D, but the quality in VR is pretty bad. Shadows don't render correctly stereoscopically. If you turn them off, you'll play in bright daylight, in a lowpoly desert. Not a faithfull conversion of the great original title.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks amazing in VR ,very well optimized runs perfectly . When it comes to pros and cons the biggest strenght of this game is simultaneously its biggest flaw ,which is the cabin level ,it's scary the atmosphere is on point but it drags on and on and on and on...and on....and on to the point the scare factor wears out and it becomes tedious , this is the best example of something that is good but completly overstates its welcome ,that aside the overall experience is a one l will personally…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots of running in the forest and endless searching inside a house with many doors. This more or less sums up the game. It starts with an exciting story, but toward the end you get tired of it and just want it to be over. Ok game. [-AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor (4.50 GHz) 32Gb /\ AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT-] Quest3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game and in the end I did somewhat, just not enough to give this a thumbs up. The game starts out well, but I soon realised the controls are not good, especially the rotation speed, at its max its still way too slow, making it cumbersome. I did like the mechanics of the items you carry with you, like the flashlight for example, you can pick it off your belt and point it with the controller in the darkness, that felt immersive. Having the dog with you is also cool…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the few times I'm glad I didn't let a game's general negativity stop me from playing. Are there missing sequences from the OG? Yes. Is the performance bad? Yes. Is it mostly a walking simulator? All yes. But none of that matters. This was one of the most immersive VR games I've experienced since HL:Alyx. One of the few games you should 100% play if you own a VR headset.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty much the same TWD Saints n Sinners graphically and gameplay speaking, for those are bothered about this. PS: Played just 30min and its awesome, great times ahead I can feel it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a game! Just finished and loved; probably my best VR experience. Everything is perfect and high quality: gameplay, story, atmosphere, actors, graphic, sounds and voices... I deeply liked everything and was amazed by light effects in a dark enviroinment (and I kept it quite dark). Always creepy but a few only jumpscares: it was all well balanced and never frustating or too frightening to quit. I played it sitting with no issue using Quest3, VIrtualDesktop, laptop equipped with a RTX3070.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too short, too expensive. Finished in under 4 hours.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To all horror junkies, this is a game you have to pick up without question. It's simply amazing. By two thirds into my first session I was starting to feel like the game was actively trying to drive me insane. Flashbacks, hallucinations, mind manipulation, nightmares... I don't know exactly what I'm experiencing - probably a combination of a few of those - but it's incredibly effective and I had an intense sensation of thrill for most of my playtime, even during the slower bits. If you need…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Silent Hill Nature Walk I didn't know I wanted I had very low expectations of this game, but it surprised me. More of a character driven psychological thriller than a spooktastic jump scare fest, but it did have some great moments. The deliberate pace lets the plot developments stick with you and gives you time to really take in the surroundings and events, which I appreciated. The actual plot I found very confusing, not necessarily in the details of what happens but in the WHY of it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although short, it was effective. The story never dragged on, the puzzles and chapters made you explore around, but without the feeling of ever being "lost" with no direction. Petting a dog in VR is riveting, the environment is spooky, and the game doesn't feel like a typical flat screen game port. It feels like it was a VR driven project from the start. The entire game took me 4.4 hours to complete, so 30 bucks is a bit steep, i'd say if you are on the fence, wait for a sale, or if you are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really bad performance with rtx 2060 and low graphics all over the board but still spooky
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont waste your money on this, its really bad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried it first with Vive Pro 2, but it didn't render correctly. Played it through with quest 1 and virtual desktop and it worked perfectly. Loved it! It was perfect for the OLED screen of the quest. Chilling atmosphere. Amazing sound design. Highly recommend it! Played it on a 4090 and 7800x3D. No performance issues. (Not sure why it says I have only played 0,9 hours. Took med 3-4 hours I think).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished the game after about 6 hours. It wasn't bad, although the vr implementation was technically very mediocre in parts. Performance is pretty poor (had to reduce a lot of settings), textures, lighting and levels of detail look like the 2d version on lowest settings, even when i play the vr version on highest settings. Worst thing imho is the post processing. There is very little contrast and color, no real black. Everything just looks washed out and gray, even at night. It's never…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's buggy, graphics could be better, the last chapter overstays it's welcome by a lot and the LOD distance is the worst i've seen in vr. So why do I recommend? It's comfy for the most part, the sound design is pretty damn good and most important, you feel like you're in a found footage film (one of the few types of movies I enjoy) save for a few sections that would not belong in a found footage title. I say when this is on sale, give it a go, you'll probably enjoy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok so I really only got this game because I had been looking for a scary vr game and at the time it also came with layers of fear VR for just a few more bucks. My expectation was that this would be kinda like outlast obviously not as long but either way I was wrong. I was hoping for maybe 10ish hours of gameplay but in reality it’s about 4 hours for casual play and that’s not even looking or every collectible. Overall game play was decent most things have correct physics and control movements…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ good soundtrack (Into The Woods is such a good track) + has scared the ♥♥♥♥ outta me a couple times (I felt uncomfortable and unsafe just standing in the middle of the forest) + most of the psychological horror is done very well - can get very repetitive and boring at times (e.g. house at the end) - poor performance without lowering scaling to the point where the game becomes a bit blurry If I were to ignore the performance issues and boring parts, it would definitely be one of the scariest…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had to return this game because the motion was so choppy and disorienting. I didnt play the non VR version of Blair Witch, but this feels like a port rather than a game made for VR. If you don't have a great machine, I would pass on this. Couldn't make it more than 15 minutes into the game without getting a headache.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game looks so bad I threw up in my headset. At least I had some relief after that. 10/10. to the vomiting. Not the game. Bad game 0/10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My who family use the VR set but its easy for me, my brother and dad to find games, whoever, that's not the case for my mum who prefers mystery and puzzle games but she liked the look of this and wanted to leave her comfort zone and to say the least we were all pleasantly surprised, the story is good and there's plenty of times were were laughing at whoever was playing as they froze in place from being too scared. You can for sure zoom past through the game but we take turn and take time to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyed the game…I’ll just say this, so much more than a horror game. It has its scary moments don’t get me wrong, but more tense then anything else.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cheap haunted house simulator that has the mobile-phone-game gall to demand a review after i gave it the undeserved honor of sitting through the credits. here's the NOT RECOMMENDED that kind of pestering deserves. for the record, you have never made a good game and you never will.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this when it came out on the Oculus Quest 2 in 2020. And I still love it to this day.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has definitely impressed me. It boasts great graphics, a creepy and captivating story, and an overall good experience, especially if you have too much social life in your life, because you won't be meeting anyone in these woods. Check out my thoughts on this game in the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geyFivYStj8&ab_channel=dolorianVR I rate it somewhere between 8.5/10 . A bit too short, but the game has multiple endings so good luck playing through them all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely do not recommend this game to anyone. It's not worth a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quarter, in all seriousness. I can describe the entire plot in one sentence. Veteran/murderer loses his mind kills people in the woods. None of the characters make decisions that make sense. The EXACT SAME DIALOGUE is repeated over and over and over for some excuse for plot development. I literally guessed what the exact ending of this game would be after playing for 5 minutes, but alas, I had to trudge through 3 more…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its quite a good game. II frighten me on many occasions. Its my first horror game on vr and it was quite an experience. The music and sound effects are also really well produced.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was bugged, couldn't get past the start of the game. Reinstalled it, no luck. Tried multiple times. Same bug, the dog is stuck in a motion where you have to whistle for it, but it just stands there even after whistling multiple times. Shame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a great game. the level design is wonderful. I love how Bullet(the dog) interact. staging and event design is also great. I was really into it. the game has great forest scene. I felt I really walk and seek in the wood. I like all item interaction especially phone. It really reminds me early 2000s phone i had back then. the cons was the flat screen cut scenes, It would give us much more impact if all cut scenes like live action, real time render in VR. And the Ending is a bit weak in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible graphics for a supposedly decent title, if you can get past the jaggy scuffed forest, the game is just a boring dog chasing simulator. The selling point is pretty much the companion interaction which also isn't great. The scares are more like "oh, did something happen scares. I wanted to like this game but honestly I have no good points for it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im so happy this is over now, even though I will have nightmares for the rest of my life. Without a doubt its the scariest game I played yet. Pros Immersion, my brain tells me that I've experienced the blair witch, which actually should be a negative thing. graphics are good but because of poor performance everything looks blurry and I had to put all the settings to low. narrative, I liked how the game manage to make you feel a part of the story Cons repetitive, they reused a little to much…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6.5/10 For sure buy it on sale. Graphic in VR is not good. It's almost impossible read text messages in phone, that was biggest problem... Story and jump scares are decent. But at the moment there are not too many good horror games for VR so this title its worth to try. Played on Valve Index
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, right away I can tell you that it does not look anywhere near as crisp as it does in the description, even at max settings. To make things even look half decent with good LOD and not like a blurry wash, you HAVE to completely turn off antialiasing. I turned up resolution scaling to the max and boosted supersampling a bit, but the image still was not as clean as I would have liked it to be. There were also some weird shimmery texture glitches on the ground and rocks (similar visual problems…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are looking for a VR horror experience I would recommend giving this a go. This managed to stay genuinely scary throughout and playing this in VR really adds to it. I did run into a couple bugs in one instance Bullet the dog completely froze and refused to move no matter what I did, this required me to load up an earlier save to fix. The graphics were a little underwhelming but the game still manages to be immersive despite this.
