Blair Witch

Bloober Team's newest, Blair Witch, came available on the Xbox-PC game pass on day one of the game's release. I thought I might as well quickly play through it and get slightly more value out of my second month of subscription. Having played two of the developer's earlier titles, I wasn't expecting much from it however.

Observer

I found >observer_ (as it is stylized) disappointing. Its futuristic setting had potential for philosophical and ethical questions; I was hoping something as brilliant as Frictional Games' SOMA. Unfortunately Bloober Team left the potential largely untapped. Like their previous title, Layers of Fear, Observer offers style but little substance. It also has some visual quirks that really should be adjustable in-game.

Layers of Fear

Recently released Observer seemed to have an intriguing theme judging by what I saw of the game being streamed. It got me interested of its developer's previous title, Layers of Fear, which then just happened to be in the beat-the-average tier of a humble bundle.
