Firewatch
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.

Critics reviews
IGN
9.3/10
Firewatch is amazing for many reasons, but above all because it's an adult game that deals with serious issues, with realistic adult dialogue to match. And it deals with those issues just like actual adults would: sometimes with humor, sometimes with anger, and sometimes with sadness. It is among the very best of the first-person narrative genre, and it reminds us what video game storytelling is capable of in the right hands. It's a game I can see coming back to every year or two just to revisit its beautiful sights and memorable characters – just like a good book.

85/100
A captivating journey into a beautiful, atmospheric wilderness, with a touching story that doesn't always hit the right notes.

4.5/5 stars
A stunning example of interactive storytelling, Firewatch's greatest success is making you feel like it's really happening to you. And the less you know about it going in, the more you'll enjoy it.

The requirements to play this game is so high. Sadly, I can't play it now. I'll just play my free deer hunting games in https://games.lol/hunting/

Keep your politics out of our games
I can't recommend buying this game as the developers are attacking the livelihood of youtubers (Felix Kjellberg AKA Pewdiepie) who they have deemed to be racist for saying a racial slur on stream (not even streaming firewatch at the time) by filing DMC claims against them and encouraging others to as well. As if racial slurs aren't common place in competitive gaming and various forms of music. They have also been banning and censoring people on their various forums for discussing this issue as well. I refuse to support this behaviour from game developers and I strongly encourage you to as well.

SJW
"Freedom of speech is freedom of prosecution" I will personally ensure that none of my family members or friends won't support this developer. I would expect at least a modest amount of maturity and proffesionalism from these guys... The game on the other hand is too short and linear in spite of giving the impression of multiple outcomes. So in a way the game reflects its creator, shallow and all talk.

Firewatch PEWDIEPIE
Heard, purchased and played thaks to pewdiepie`d YT channel. 3 hrs of good story and nothing else, good alternative to cinema if you have nothing better to do that day. Absolutely overpriced, wait for humble/sales. Yellow card to CampoSanto for greedy and pitiful politics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah7LYxysuJ8
