Firewatch

The game is programmatically stable, well written, has good graphics, sound and music. There is even a walkthrough mode to explore the wilderness independent of the story, which is very relaxing and fun. I don't like combat or violent games, so this was a welcome addition to my library. The game is mainly for "normies". Normies are people still asleep in this Earth 3D dream and believe only what their 5 senses tell them. This game doesn't contain any higher dimensional concepts, awakening or mystical references, ETs, or other supernatural elements. Maybe I'll work on developing a game similar to this but talking about the illusion of the self, the illusion of matter and separation, the journey of the Soul and re-integration and oneness with the world around the player.

The game does not wear out its welcome. The voice acting is top notch and how it's implemented allows the player to flesh out the characters' backgrounds, personalities. While exploration is deeply encouraged, it is not required. It will give you not only more information about the park, but more opportunities to interact with your other main character. Recommended for people that like a one-playthrough experience and favor atmosphere over gameplay.

When I saw it on gog.com,I feel it's a unique game, that's not for the mode,but the contents. But if you're a gamer who want to find something that you think the game really need to have, it maybe not good game for you. The story is very plain,the interactive parts is very boring(seems like?)... But it's a comfort game, nice mountian view in the game, sometime gives you a thrill but so small feeling, the background music casted in the right time. Whatever, I think it a good game for not-often-gaming gamer or someone who want to find a novel-like game.

Every once in a while you find a game, that is one of a kind, special. Firewatch is one of those. It sets out to do few things, and does them very well. A "walking simulator" is a fair way of characterising the game, as you will spend the entire game hiking around the national park. Another focus is narrative and you will use RPG-like conversation system to shape the direction of your character. There are also quite a few items to interact with. Gameplay is simple, and the story is the focus. You don't have much influence on the story, and choices are there to help you get immersed into the story, rather than direct it. I found the story to be worth the addmission fee, but I would warn people who look for entertainment per say - it is more of a character drama, than an entertaining intrigue, even though there are some great tension building.

Its not a game. You wander around for 2h and follow a story that doesnt really go anywhere. Its not terrible, its just really not worth the asking price. Oh and the developer is a massive twitter warrior / self rightious ass ("I shall now retroactively DMCA pewdiepie who played my game weeks ago, because i now dislike him as a person").
