But Blair Witch is a game that’s more about the journey than the destination, and it’s a pretty tumultuous one. The story of Ellis himself is admittedly done to death, however, and anyone with experience in the genre will be able to predict where he ends up. Instead, it uses the lore to tell the story of Ellis and further flesh out the mythology of the eponymous entity and the woods she inhabits. This rendition of Blair Witch is an entirely self-contained story that doesn’t reference any previous piece of Blair Witch media. You play as Ellis, a former police officer who joins the search in the woods with his trusty dog Bullet. The game takes place in 1996, where a young boy has disappeared in the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, Maryland two years after the three film students from the original film also went missing. Although, admittedly, that bar isn’t set very high.īlair Witch takes the lore established by the original film and the recent sequel to tell its own story. And after having finished it twice, I’m happy to declare it the best Blair Witch game ever. But for the first time in a long time, when I saw the reveal trailer for Blair Witch at E3, I was optimistic. Some would even argue that only one of the three films thus far have been good. Blair Witch as a franchise hasn’t had an excellent run with video games.
