The illusion of Free Will

I wanted to like this game. It has a few things going for it. It does a good job of building an atmosphere of paranoia where you start to question yourself and what you are doing. Unfortuanely, that's the end of the good stuff. If you've played any modern RPGs with lots of dialogue you know how small choices can have a big impact. Not so with this game. Its all a lie. The contempt the game producers have for the audience is hinted at in the beginning background choices but really shines at the end of the game when EVERYTHING you did or said is rendered moot. There is only 1 ending. Did you like how Mass Effect 3 neutered your decisions? This is worse than that. There is a message that you will learn and they are going to club you over the head with it. If they included a few different endings based on your game choices that would have made a huge difference but this game was not written for you, it was written for them. Aside from the ending there is a few things throughout the story that took me out of the game as it progressed. Some of the things said or referenced were a little off for the story being set in 1989. The dialogue was cringe inducing as it comes across as being written by people whose only male/female interactions are learned from the movies and not with real people. If you can grab this game while its on sale its okay for killing a couple hours of your time but don't think that you have any control over the events because you don't. They will tell you how things are and your opinion doesn't matter.

Ending ruined it. Runs well on GNU/Linux

I really wanted so much to give 5 stars to this game. Seriously, it has all the ingredients of a epic hit: a great story, great graphics, an emotional story arc, superb voice acting with witty dialogue... what's not to like? Well... the ending. Whatever the scriptwriters thought of as an ending of this game is utter, absolute crap. Devastatingly bamboozingly bad. Beating-your-mom-and-killing-your-firstborn bad. The ending is anticlimactic, and thus lacks any closure for the player. And also is sloppily done. Don't believe the promotional blurbs telling you that this is a thrilling story, hinting that this is something of a thriller, a murder-mystery or something. It's not. It's utter and absolute disappointment. You WILL be cheated. The action is situated in some Wyoming national park back in 1989, and the environment is beautiful. The art direction in this game should win the award of the decade. The soundtrack, while minimalistic, is beautiful and well adapted to the story and the environment. This is a first-person walking simulator. Controls are okay. But you can't get killed, and this means that there are invisible walls. So, it is mostly open world, but the terrain forces you into one specific direction. Nowcall me a prude but something I found distracting and detracting is the excessive amount of gratuitous and unnecessary profanity and swearing. Besides unnecessary, this is not how two adults of 1989 interacted between each other, much less when they were of different sexes. It's so crude it breaks immersion. They sound like two teenage boys of today engaging in locker room talk. The game ran flawlessly on GNU/Linux. Even though I have an Intel onboard GPU, the framerate and quality were very good when running at Standard HD definition. So, beware. Purchase this game and it will be a great experience... but the ending will ruin it. Guaranteed. It's not often that one see such gigantic defeat snatched from the jaws of (almost) certain victory.

nice setting, weak mystery

The good: the setting is absolutely gorgeous, and a joy to explore. The dialogue is well-written and interesting. The bad: the solution to the central mystery makes no sense at all - that is, the antagonist's actions go way beyond merely irrational into the nonsensical, to the point where I assumed that his goal was the exact opposite of his goal turned out to be. Also, there are glitches in the dialogue. Not audio glitches, but places where the characters' words do not logically follow what previously happened in the game.

Not Worth Your Time/Motion sickness

Having completed Firewatch, I'm lefting wanting the 5 hours I invested back. The game has an interesting enough premise, the prologue certainly lays the groundwork for a potential epic, but afterwards your left to a back and forward conversation via walkie talkie with another ranger named Deliah while given some tasks that move the game along. The game sets up some interesting set pieces involving fireworks, 2 teen girls that like to skinny dip, a cave with a locked off area, and the highlight, a fenced off no tresspassing area in the outskirts of the park. The setups were there, but the reveals were all pretty disappointing. The ending wasn't too great either. I also experienced motion sickness a number of times while playing. I even used the FOV app, but that didn't help very much. Definitely could not play this in very long bursts without getting ill. I like that it supported achievements, but the achievements were rather buggy. Either they would unlock with no notification or necessary objects to complete certain achievements would fail to spawn. Overall, it's just not worth your time.

Walking simulator - unfulfilled promises

The game sets up several interesting premises/plotlines then just falls apart. You realize you've been walking and doing basic challenges for essentially no reason, then the game ends. You can find out about a conflict/ "Bad Guys" but it's odd and doesn't match the clues. It's like a second team took over the game when it was trending over budget. Decided to finish it in the most half-assed way they could and then released it, pretending it was the plan all along. Enjoy the first couple of hours. It falls apart after that.
