Good parts doesn't make a great game.

The game is great at: 1. Creating an atmosphere using its setting (a large forest that can be at turn magnificient or spooky). 2. Creating an atmosphere using its dialogue. 3. Making you feel comfortable hiking around in that forest. The game fails at: 1. Being an interesting game. Hiking can't be done outside of predetermined path. You can push forward, but you are quickly blocked by a 'Metroidesque" requirement (Do you have ropes? An axe? Python?) 2. Having a consistent story. And that's the main issue. The prologue set you up for one thing. The games looks like it is going to play you around it being a parabole for what happened in the prologue, or be a spooky story. And end up being something completely different. It lasted 7 hours for me, and I bought it for 5€, so I wouldn't said you need to avoid it. But it's far from being a great, perfect game. Which is a shame, cause the game is REAL good at what it does best.

Good atmopspheric escape

Firewatch is a very good plunge into an atmospheric forest reserve in the middle of wild Wyoming. You'll get to experience the sights, sounds and wonders of a beautifully crafted world. Sparsed inbetween is a great look into the human mind and what makes someone tick at all. Spoilers: I'm glad that whatever huge thing some players were expecting did not happen. The end result is more real and more dramatic. I really liked that.

Engaging game with no replay value

If you like story-driven games, this one will hook you up. The narrative is solid, the two main and only actors are pretty strong and deliver hitting dialogues which make you care about them. By the end of the game, I was nearly in love with Delilah, even if it was just a voice over the radio. Yeah, falling in love for a voice, sounds strange, right? So, why not 5 stars? Because choices don't affect the ending, but I don't it's a major let down in this case, because such "fake" choices have a purpose: to plunge you deeply in the story. So, 4 stars because of the marvellous job done by the two actors. They did amazing voice acting. Reccomended ONLY to people who loves to immerse theirselves in games.

Come for the story, mystery and the walk

A great, but short game with an engaging story and relationship that unfolds over a radio. The scenery is lovely, and the tension builds as you slowly explore the location and events that occur. For the most part, you can go at your own pace, so don't expect this to be a pulse-pounding action ride, although it does have its tense parts. If you want something you can relax into while still having an emotional attachment to the plot, this is the game for you. I completed it in only a few hours, but there's a free-roam mode available after completion of the main game if you want to explore further.

That was an interesting summer

Some may call this a "walking simulator", but it is more than that, it feels more like reading a book, you just want to see more of it, find the little secrets, explore all the nooks and be in the right place at the right time. It is well written and focused, with likeable and somehow relatable characters, by the time of the big reveal I had several theories in my mind (even some outlandish ones - I blame the duck for that) and that's a good sign for a story. Excellent game, probably the best "walking simulator" I have ever played. I'll replay it some time in the future to see if my decisions actually have some impact in the ending.
