Amazing atmospheric game

Since the game already has a lot of reviews, I will instead address some of the criticism pointed out in them. First of all, your choices DO matter because they change they way you interact with Delilah. That IS the story: the bond between two complete strangers that are workmates in a very unusual environment. The game is atmospheric and story-driven, so if you are not interested in getting immersed in this emotional bond, I agree that there is not that much to be found here. Therefore, I think many of the bad reviews simply come from misunderstanding what "shaping the narrative" means. In fact, I would almost go as far as to argue that, in terms of the interaction between the protagonist and Delilah, this game offers even more impactful choices than Telltale games. Secondly, despite the fact that it is short, there are all sorts of secrets hidden around. The biggest fun in the gameplay is simply trying to figure out where you are by reading the signs, checking your map all the time, and trying to read the environmental cues around you. Additionally, there is a neat little thing that you can take photos with an in-game camera that you can then pay for to be delivered to you irl in printed format (not sure if that feature is still available in 2020, but I still find the idea quite nice). I agree that the ending could have been better, but I don't think that's a valid argument to give the game such a low score. In conclusion, particularly given its price, Firewatch is an excellent atmospheric and story-driven, whose quality surpasses that of many games of its genre. Highly recommended!

Balance...

I hate to see a game I love where the first review is awful. So here is my balance to that review and hopefully newcomers can judge for themselves. I have a mixed reaction to "walking simulators". Sometimes I like them, sometimes I get bored and hate them. This one is a true walking sim. You pull out your map and compass, work out a route, and off you go. I loved the mechanic, loved navigating my way round the mini wilderness, loved getting lost, loved arriving. I also loved the characters, though as others said, I wanted a different ending but...I can accept they never met. If I was Delilah in the same situation I think I might have acted same. Anyway, this is one of the very few games where I did not want to leave the world. When I finished it I immediately restarted another run through and loved it still, even though I just went through all this, not long ago too since it's not a very long game. And I have since played at least twice more, and will do again. I accept this is not for everyone, and that some truly hate walking sims but I'm not one of them. And I long for a sequel, but with Campo Santo assimilated into Valve I don't expect much else from them, and this is sad...to me... :-)

Potential, but wasted potential.

First, it took me all of like 2 hours to complete the game. There may have been some hidden things to find, but there is no real drive to find or explore anything as its very dull. Walking simulator, with pick a response in between walking, which is not that compelling but, the STORY IS SO SHORT and what could have been a good experience and an interesting game gets cut down to almost nothing and you're left wondering why you paid for the game in the first place. I loved What Remains of Edith Finch, its not that I dont enjoy story or walking, its that this one makes me hope for more, and then rips that hope away from me multiple times over by not continuing the cool parts of the story, and ending way sooner than I would have liked while not delivering on any of the cool story that had happened to that point. Avoid this one, I paid 4 bucks for it, and its not even worth that in my opinion. I dont see any reason anyone should buy this game.

Good, immersive story game

With replay value as long as you wait a year or two in between (or go back right away in completionist mode).

Money well spend?

TLDR: I bought this game for €5. I think it was worth that, but not the standard asking price of €20. The reason I bought this game is because it got some good reviews. I read it is a walking simulator, and this was the first one I played (as far as I know). For people that are unfamiliar with what a walking simulator is, basically (at least in this game) it means that you walk a lot from point A to point B without encountering enemies, without engaging in combat or platforming obstacles, etc. Basically it means, enjoy the digital environment and story. On those two fronts the game is pretty good, although I did think they wrapped up the story a bit too quickly. So you might ask yourself, why only 2 stars? Well, there are a number of drawbacks to this game. I played through the story in about 5 hours. After that there is no (real) replayability. The game offers a lot of response choices in your confersations with Delilah, but your choices do not have any affect on things happening in the world or how the story unfolds. There are no multiple endings. Even if you ignore Delilah as much as you can, the things you need to do to progress the story, remain the same. And with a playthrough and 100% of the achiements done in 5 and a half hours, I would say that is not worth the €20.
