Immense Amount Of Wasted Potential

Very few times you see a game come up with a such a great concept wrapped up in a fresh and dazzling art direction and great core game design miss the mark so badly on what should had been an unquestionably excellent game. Firewatch is one of those games. It missed the mark so badly that i have hard time deciding if it is or not worse than Remember Me by DontNod. The problems are unfortunately intrinsic. The origin story, The setup and The core game design are top notch. Everything else is just shockingly frustrating. I will resume it spoiler free in 3 points: 1.- Game length is absurdly short for no reason at all. Even with the very limited game mechanics and very sparse things to interact with. There is no reason why the game could not have at least a 10 hours length and follow and execute the very same story they decided to tell. It is 5 hrs tops. Game should be $9.99 at most. 2.- There is almost nothing you can interact with. You would think that you would be able to see more animals in this game and maybe, just maybe be able to interact with a raccoon or something. Nope, you will not There is a lake and guess what? You can't swim or fish in it even if the game teases you about both activities during the game. Hell, there a few loose rocks you can grab. But you don't get to being able to throw them at the lake. You are at a lookout, I bet you think there would be binoculars there you could use even if tied to that location. Nope, not even once. 3.- Story has no payout, Your character, just like you ends up wasting his time with a few questions without answer. Campo Santo took some seriously questionable design and direction choices when it comes to the story of the game and how it develops. Once you finish the game you will for sure know what i mean by this and if you happen to be an avid gamer, you will probably be left as frustrated as me and others with it. Hopefully, just like it with DontNod, their second will be great.

The illusion of Free Will

I wanted to like this game. It has a few things going for it. It does a good job of building an atmosphere of paranoia where you start to question yourself and what you are doing. Unfortuanely, that's the end of the good stuff. If you've played any modern RPGs with lots of dialogue you know how small choices can have a big impact. Not so with this game. Its all a lie. The contempt the game producers have for the audience is hinted at in the beginning background choices but really shines at the end of the game when EVERYTHING you did or said is rendered moot. There is only 1 ending. Did you like how Mass Effect 3 neutered your decisions? This is worse than that. There is a message that you will learn and they are going to club you over the head with it. If they included a few different endings based on your game choices that would have made a huge difference but this game was not written for you, it was written for them. Aside from the ending there is a few things throughout the story that took me out of the game as it progressed. Some of the things said or referenced were a little off for the story being set in 1989. The dialogue was cringe inducing as it comes across as being written by people whose only male/female interactions are learned from the movies and not with real people. If you can grab this game while its on sale its okay for killing a couple hours of your time but don't think that you have any control over the events because you don't. They will tell you how things are and your opinion doesn't matter.

Ending ruined it. Runs well on GNU/Linux

I really wanted so much to give 5 stars to this game. Seriously, it has all the ingredients of a epic hit: a great story, great graphics, an emotional story arc, superb voice acting with witty dialogue... what's not to like? Well... the ending. Whatever the scriptwriters thought of as an ending of this game is utter, absolute crap. Devastatingly bamboozingly bad. Beating-your-mom-and-killing-your-firstborn bad. The ending is anticlimactic, and thus lacks any closure for the player. And also is sloppily done. Don't believe the promotional blurbs telling you that this is a thrilling story, hinting that this is something of a thriller, a murder-mystery or something. It's not. It's utter and absolute disappointment. You WILL be cheated. The action is situated in some Wyoming national park back in 1989, and the environment is beautiful. The art direction in this game should win the award of the decade. The soundtrack, while minimalistic, is beautiful and well adapted to the story and the environment. This is a first-person walking simulator. Controls are okay. But you can't get killed, and this means that there are invisible walls. So, it is mostly open world, but the terrain forces you into one specific direction. Nowcall me a prude but something I found distracting and detracting is the excessive amount of gratuitous and unnecessary profanity and swearing. Besides unnecessary, this is not how two adults of 1989 interacted between each other, much less when they were of different sexes. It's so crude it breaks immersion. They sound like two teenage boys of today engaging in locker room talk. The game ran flawlessly on GNU/Linux. Even though I have an Intel onboard GPU, the framerate and quality were very good when running at Standard HD definition. So, beware. Purchase this game and it will be a great experience... but the ending will ruin it. Guaranteed. It's not often that one see such gigantic defeat snatched from the jaws of (almost) certain victory.

nice setting, weak mystery

The good: the setting is absolutely gorgeous, and a joy to explore. The dialogue is well-written and interesting. The bad: the solution to the central mystery makes no sense at all - that is, the antagonist's actions go way beyond merely irrational into the nonsensical, to the point where I assumed that his goal was the exact opposite of his goal turned out to be. Also, there are glitches in the dialogue. Not audio glitches, but places where the characters' words do not logically follow what previously happened in the game.
