What I knew about the game was based on the trailer and reading about it. Playing was completely different in very positive way. It was obvious this is a walking simulator game (or what they are called). Something I was looking for. Or more accurately, it was the game I have been looking for for many years now. A game with a great story, but without having to kill to reach your next goal or level. The last game I played that had an amazing story, characters and atmosphere that allowed you to fully immerse yourself and emphasize with the characters was The Last of Us. I was pleasantly surprised that Firewatch did exactly that, without the slaughter. The story itself is well written. It feels like a good who-dunnit short story. The dialogue is exceptional. Constantly wondering if Henry is some kind of unfortunate lab rat. Mind you, there is a lot of walking, but what else would you expect doing the job Henry signed up for. This is what makes the game realistic and immersing. After a while you are not playing as Henry, you become Henry. The chemistry between Henry and Delilah is perfect. They are friendly, distrusting and share the same humour. The jokes in this game are funny and easy to relate with. When you have never met in person and have to communicate frequently, you need to establish a good relation. Especially when you both are stuck out there alone. Then humour is the key to that. At times it was difficult to find your way. Not because the map is hard to read, but because you go towards areas you know you would get across in real life, but not in this game. The focus on the story is, and becomes, strong, that you forget to actually explore. The story is so great that the game feels too short. It feels more like a DLC to a game with a longer, in-depth story. This game truly deserves a follow-up or a DLC. If you are looking for a game with a gripping story, but tired of shooting your way to the end. Then this is a must. Best game I have played in ages.

Overall a pretty good game. Got a few bugs where I got stuck somewhere and couldn't get out (3 times overall). Think the intro could be narrated. It took me around 4 hours to complete, not a very long game. The visiual style is a bit too colorful for my taste. But in the end, I enjoyed playing it.
