Walk around, think about life
Firewatch is not as much a game as it is an experience. The gameplay mainly consists of walking from point A to point B without possibility of failure. That being said, the journey is nothing short of excellence. So, there's this guy - Henry. Henry is out in the woods as part of a firewatch crew. There's this woman - Delilah, she's Henry's boss and she tells him what to do through a radio. You get the idea. A large part if the game is spent strolling around and talking to your boss, allowing you to take in breathtaking sites portrayed in colorful gradients and flat minimalist colors of various shades. Talking to your boss via radio also provides insight into both characters, making character development feel more direct and organic. The marvelous art and superb voice acting is aided by a vibrant assortment of piano and distant guitar sounds that fit the atmosphere of each scene. I cannot find a bad thing to say about Firewarch. While I could demand a lengthier experience, six hours felt right for what there is to say. While the ending may not have been what everyone wanted, I felt it befitting for what the game was about. It is why the game is as wonderful as it is. How life can hype you up, making your imagination run wild - only to let you realize it's actually much simpler than you hoped. Disappointment. Firewatch is similar to Life is Strange, Gone Home and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, provides a decent metaphorical story and captivating characters drenched a colorful simplistic art style with a befitting soundtrack. It is meant to be experienced.
