Good adventure game but not great

Firewatch is a great game in its genre. The gameplay is simple and quick to learn after you configure keybindings on your own. Sprint on 'R' and 'LShift' to use radio is weird. There are also a few bugs - you can see today that this game was done by a small studio, using Unity in 2016. Stylized graphics look fine but this trick doesn't entirely cover that is a little outdated and raw in some places. But for me, this doesn't affect in any way on final score. Those are little trifles that I can ignore. What is most important in an adventure game like this is the plot. This is, not great, but very good. There is a mystery in these woods, there is Delilah who we don't know actually who she is. The resolution to the story is interesting both as a story finisher and as an experience. To understand why I describe it as an experience you must play it yourself. I just say that I never even thought that you could end a story like this and it will still be a great ending. Voice acting is also great - it's the theater of almost only 2 actors and still, it is amazing. But there are also little flaws. Most importantly - too much walking. Sometimes it's almost like in a walking sim. No music(which also is great but there is not much of it), no conversation with Deliah, just the sound of the forest, players' footsteps, and nothing else for sometimes even 10 min. Second, our choices do not really matter in the end and also third, which is a result of the second - if you expect multiple endings you will be disappointed. Finally - the length of a game. The story is for about 5-7 hours, with exploring and all conversations. Expect the main story the forest has nothing interesting to offer, nothing to find while exploring, and no side quest. Considering that at the end of May 2025, this game cost about 75-90PLN (~20-25 UDS; ~17,5-21,5 EUR) on GoG and Steam is way too expensive. Luckily I got it at a discount and I recommend waiting for such because this game is often on discount on the

Single Session Walking Simulator

Works great on Apple Silicon / M1 (or greater). Played on a M1 Mac Mini. Plays like genre typical short story games like 'The Suicide of Rachel Foster' or 'What Remains of Edith Finch', except that your playground is outdoors. I think the story would have benefited from a little more depth and/or a more interactive world - still, to me it remains a very recommendable game.

Sometimes you need a life time out

I didn't have the intention of making a review until i played some imitators, and i did get what in this game works where the imitators failed. Let's talk about the game, it is a walking simulator mostly, it starts with the story before being an overwatch. You are a man who meet a girl, felt in love... the usual. But something happens and you had walk away because it was overwhelming and needed a time out. You travel to the forest cabin remembering how and why you got there throw but backpack and make contact with another watcher who is a girl and tells you what the work is about... you get a map a compass and you are out in the forest. The first thing the game do well is walking freedom, you can go whetever you want (there are barriers that need tools to pass but is a pretty big zone that you can explore). You can choose dialogues which only effect is what the other watcher will say mostly and you can interact with some objects and take some to your cabin. The story is one and your actions only have the effect of moving foward the plot or getting information of what happened around. The game wants to tell a story but the difference is, that is about life, not about teaching any message or saying people are inherently good or bad. Your character can be a git or can the best partner the other watcher had since who knows when depending in what dialogue you choose. The main character stays the portrayal you chose doesn't changes to whatever the story see fit because it's not what is about. The best way to aproach this game is to think that this is a experience outside a life that you will eventualy have to go back to and are trying to make the best of it. What its diferent about other imitators is that the ending feeling is on you, not the story the game is trying to tell whetever the imitations intentions is mostly about making feel you miserable or telling you who the "bad" people are.

Firewatch

A big F indeed. Simply they sell a game for a platform ( Linux ) without any support, I am very happy I only payed about 7 Euro for this, the game wont even allow me to install the patches to "fix" the game. Yeah.

A Pretty Decent Walk

After looking through my library I finally decided to finish Firewatch this weekend. What drew my attention to Firewatch was the beauty of the wilderness. I was not dissapointed in this regard. Coupled with the music, the wilderness felt soothing and at times tense to walk around in. I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved the dialogue between the two main characters. Even though I loved walking through the wilderness I had hoped there was more to it than just that. The story of the game starts off intriguing but towards the end it fell abit flat. Overall I enjoyed the time I spent in Firewatch. Though parts of Firewatch could have been better, I would recommend giving it a playthrough.
