Firewatch

GOOD!

Not much of a game really. A walking/hiking sim mostly. If you take out the walking the game is like 30 minutes long(if that). The story is just ok, nothing special. Also no replay-ability, not that I would want to do all that walking again. If you must have the game wait for a deep discount.

Even though i've finished te game wanting more, the overall experience was great and well worth playing! I wish the ending was more revealing but i also think it is great the way it is! Looking forward for a sequel.

I really wanted to give this game 5-stars, but the sheer number of f-bombs really dropped a full star on my list. I fully realize that many people speak this way, but in a game like this that is really for anyone to play, I feel it completely unecessary. Great UI, personal interaction, environment and a fantastic soundtrack!

People seem to jump on the bandwagon for hating on "walking simulators," but I actually really like them. Lower action, character-driven atmospheric games were exactly what I fell in love with way back in the 90's with Myst, Journeyman Project, etc. Despite everyone's moaning about conwoman Anita Sarkeesian being thanked in the credits, it seems to be a bit of self-policing, not direct involvement. That said, the game is still at the head of the class. The graphics were interesting- not quite realistic, but not quite as plastic-looking as The Long Dark. The effects, especially the fire and ash- really gave this game what it needed to go over the top. And I can't praise the voice actors enough. They were phenomenal, and at the end I felt a mix of emotions that really meant something. So, go ahead and buy the game. I typically view worth as based on cost vs content, but even at only 4-5 hours of gameplay for $18, I still recommend it. It was as worthwhile as buying a good book, and I enjoyed it.
