Walk, relax and talk to Delilah
This game has been waiting for me in my backlog for ages. But you know - covid times, already played 100+ hours games I have been looking for something lighter, that would be ok for me to play at one weekend and that's it. Firewatch matches those needs perfectly. It's an indie game, which has all pluses of that kind of games, but also some minuses. Starting positively - I love the idea of a hero, who joined a fire watch squad to run away from his life and find meaning. I appreciate how creators enable us to pick what happened first and merged it nicely into the gameplay. This boost the immersion in the game and makes us care more about our character. The setting of the game is a large forest in US - graphics are definitely unique and stylish and due to the night and day system - each day spend in the game looks different. This is a huge plus and makes the game more interesting. There is some backtracking though - not so annoying due to the best part of the game - dialogues. When you walk (and you walk here A LOT), you can speak through walkie-talkie with your boss, Delilah. She is sitting in the watchtower close to your, but you build your relationship with her through dialogues, never knowing how exactly she looks like. And what you do, comment or nor and which dialogue options you choose - matter. This is the strongest part of the game and kudos for the writers and voice actors who did a stellar job there. I kind of wish to see a sequel and listen to their conversations a little bit more. Being a walking simulator, this game is not for those looking for action. You will get bored in seconds. For those searching for some peaceful moments when you can admire trees at the distance and uncover mysteries of the forest - Firewatch is your hidden gem. Play it and you won't be disappointed. I wish that the game had more replayability options and be a little bit longer.
