Firewatch

The beginning of the game was great. You knew who you were, and why exactly you took this job as a firewatch. You get to explore this beautiful world, and enjoy it with Delilah over the radio. Weird things happen, and the game will make you feel paranoid. Then... all of a sudden, the game just ends in the most disappointing way possible. There are many fan theories on the story, trying to make it more than what it is. But if you play the game with developer commentary you will understand that there is nothing to be solved. It is what it is. A terrible ending. However, I must commend the developers for their attempt at making something unique wich made me feel excited to play. Many games are so uninteresting that you stop playing them after an hour. This game however peaked my interest from the get go.

Good game, good writing, good voice acting and dialogs. Good buildup, bad ending, very bad and disappointing like many mentioned.

People complain the game was "too short". I wish it was shorter. PROS: - great voice acting - beautiful art style CONS: - invisible walls - horrible UI - tons of backtracking - anticlimacting "big" reveal - rushed and disappointing ending

The good: main characters are written reasonably well and voice acted very well. Visuals can be charming. The bad: Plot is written and executed poorly, gameplay is what you would expect from walking simulator, world is a series of corridors, choices doesn't matter, and ending is meh. I wanted to like this game, even finished it twice to know it better, but it is painfully obvoius it's the first project of the studio. Maybe their next games will be better - I'll keep my fingers crossed for The valley of the Gods.

Unfortunately the game is just a walking simulator with no player choice. The story is abysmal, starts out as a mystery and then does the old switcheroo, we subverted you expectations, no actual mystery here. 2/5
