Description
Firewatch is a single-player first-person mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness.

The year is 1989. You are a man named Henry who has retreated from his messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness. Perched high atop a mountain, it’s your job to look for smoke and keep the wilderness safe. An especially hot, dry summer has everyone on edge. Your supervisor Delilah is available to you at all times over a small, handheld radio—your only contact with the world you've left behind. But when something strange draws you out of your lookout tower and into the forest, you’ll explore a wild and unknown environment, facing questions and making choices that can build or destroy the only meaningful relationship you have.

A Note: Firewatch is a video game about adults having adult conversations about adult things. If you plan on playing with a younger gamer, that might be good to know going in.
  • A stunningly beautiful wilderness environment that expands as you explore.
  • A tailor-made story: the choices you make shape the narrative and build relationships.
  • An edge-of-your-seat mystery.
  • Secrets and discoveries to be made over every hill.
  • Living, breathing characters brought to life by Cissy Jones (The Walking Dead: Season 1) and Rich Sommer (Mad Men)
  • A spectacular wilderness environment by Olly Moss (Illustrator) and Jane Ng (The Cave, Brutal Legend)
  • A thrilling story and script by Sean Vanaman and Jake Rodkin (The Walking Dead: Season 1, Poker Night at the Inventory)
  • A stirring original soundtrack by Chris Remo (Gone Home)
  • Fluid first-person animation by James Benson (Ori & The Blind Forest)
  • Gameplay scripting and design work by Patrick Ewing (Twitter) and Nels Anderson (Mark of the Ninja)
  • Programming by Will Armstrong (Bioshock II), Ben Burbank (Costume Quest 2, Space Base DF-9), and Paolo Surricchio (Deadpool, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare)

Not Worth it

I played this game briefly in 2017 when it was making a buzz bought from a diff store. The story is decent but then it breaks down towards the and and is just a walking simulator. The game is not worth it anyway. 1/5 not worth don't bother.

A very good designed game!!

As a game programmer myself I can say this is one of the best games out of design sight. The atmosphere is on point at every single moment in the game, the dynamic music is perfectly choosen and every character feels like a real person. It's really long ago, that I played a game this good. The game develeopers got all out of the grafics, so even with the low poly grafic they have chosen, it looks absolutly beautiful! Specially the audio trip is very good for every person, who wants to create a video game by themself. The story is realistic and simultaneously really touching.

Horrible game, do not buy

I paid 5€ for this, and I regret every cent. No story, jus a moralizing, holier-than-thou narration while walking forward and hitting a button to progress dialogue. Do not support this garbage.

Great Story buildup, floppy ending

You can see my full review on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYujpocc1_I Firewatch is pretty damn amazing as a story. It makes you care about Henry, it makes you care about his need for peace. It makes you care and rejoice his friendship with Delilah with the power of a handheld radio. It makes you want to see more, hear more, find out more, it makes you involved, and in that regard the game is a story that unfolds with an amazing pace and building suspense. There are basically no bad things i can mention about this game except one: i really feel the ending was rushed & the game is VERY short with limited / no replayability. The game's performance is pretty nice and works pretty well at 60FPS on a GTX780 on max settings and most of the game looks pretty amazing overall. The draw distance is pretty great and the level of (stylized) detail is defiantly there) It's almost perfect in what it tries to do: a mystery focused on the story and the pacing in a unique settings with some of the most amazing characters and voice acting I've ever had in a game. The price is very steep for it's length, might want to wait on a sale.

Its good

I dont normaly give 5 stars but I tihnk this one diserves it. Its dripping in atmoshere and the story kind of drags you along to find out what happens next. You should defenatly play this even if your not into slower games just to say you have played it. The only problem I had was that I got stuck on a rock once and at the start its a little easy to get lost, though it is the forest so that is probably a feature..........
