You're not so powerful that the enemies are ineffective, but you're not so weak that the challenge ever feels frustrating. This style of combat is perfect for a horror title. If you manage to blast them full-beam enough times then you're safe again. You have to make sure you keep an eye on him as he indicates where they're coming from. Bullet spins around, growling in the enemies direction. To defend yourself you must use the flashlight to scare them off. As you stalk through the forest, weird, tree-like monsters occasionally assault you. No longer relegated to running in screaming terror, now you can actually defend yourself. At least the non-living tool that you'll use the most.Ĭombat actually makes an appearance this time around as well. Combined with night-vision, the tapes mean that the camcorder is probably the tool you'll use the most. These tapes can make literally make objects appear out of nowhere, as well as opening doors or activating machines. There's also the added effect of special red tapes which allow you to affect the world by rewinding, fast-forwarding and pausing. The night vision is useful especially if you want to find your way in the dark without revealing your location to enemies. As well as allowing you to view grey colored tapes that you come across which give more backstory it also has a night-vision mode. The camcorder is the second most important tool you have. In certain situations, the camcorder is your only hope for seeing the monsters in time to avoid them. He also acts as psychological protection, keeping you sane and brave as long as he is nearby. He can seek out clues and sniff out trails from objects in the wilderness at your command. Bullet is probably the most useful tool in your search.
A phone, a walkie-talkie, a camcorder (eventually) and of course your dog Bullet. Your main gameplay involves wandering around the woods, picking up clues and trying to figure out what happened to the missing child. The gameplay is pretty simple, but that's probably for the best in such a story-driven game. Saying what happens there would be a spoiler but let's just say that I've never found something so hard and yet met it with such resolve at the same time. There's also a harrowing scene towards the end of the game involving Bullet. However, it's difficult not to invest yourself in such an endearing character. How nice you are to Bullet mainly affects his personal outcome in the game. You also have the ability to feed him dog treats, and to pet him after he accomplished a task. Bullet does not like these symbols so you have the option of destroying them to make him happy. As you make your way through the woods you come across symbols tied into the trees. Perhaps one of the most important background stories involved Bullet. Sometimes Bullet is the only thing which keeps you sane during Blair Witch.īullet Is Your Best Friend in Blair Witch
Ellis' wife, Jess, makes frequent calls to you which can be either picked up or ignored and how many time you answer or call her back effect your, already strained, relationship. There are also numerous other sub-plots taking place at the same time. The constant hints throughout at this detail do a good job of keeping players invested. It becomes clear early on that Ellis has a connection to the missing child. As well as having a dark past which rears its head from time-to-time, his journey into the woods also feels very personal. Ellis is a very interesting main character.
