Overhyped, but still a good game.

I am so glad I finally got to play this game. I've been putting it off for a year now. I came into this game with very high expectations: the word on the street was that Firewatch is the god of all indie games. The visuals are certainly unique and memorable, but that is such a lously reason to play game, to me. I also expected the dialogue/storyline to be Pulitzer worthy material, but it was just kind of just this airy, melancholic, "how sad and depressing can we make this game, while sounding like there is a deep philosophical message?" It was very hard for me to sympathize with the protagonist because *spoiler* he didn't treat wife very well and was a drunkard. I understand that not all protagonists are knights in shinig armor, but the characters that are flawed usually have a redemptive arch or epiphany: the ending to game was lackluster to what could have been an amazing ending. I just could not identify with a drunkard who bottled up his emotions and ran away from his problems. What else was off putting to me, was that one of the options in the game was to develop an affair with your boss... while your wife is dying half-way across the world. That's gonna be a no from me, dog. However, there were many shining moments in the game. I did not expect the mystery/thriller element at all. The suspense really kept me at the edge of my seat wondering how all the clues will tie togather. Though this game didn't live up to the hype, it is still worth a playthrough: especially given that you can beat it in one session. Wait for this game to go on sale. Definitely not worth full price in my opinion. This is just my experience, though. If you are still interested in playing after reading my review, then I'm sure that you will enjoy playing this game.

Great visuals and good gameplay but...

The visuals are great, the gameplay is decent but the storyline was a bit lacking. It has a bit of a twist in the end that makes it slightly interesting but it also has a few plot holes. What about the fenced area and the equipment in it? the shakes that Henry experiences, the dream with the voice of his wife? or was it a hallucination? It's like they just dropped these small nuggets to keep the player invested and then nothing comes from those situations. Maybe in the special feature where the commentary is included while you play could explain it, but if you need that to understand the game... that is a huge flaw. Overall it's a 3/5, but it when it's on sale for no more than five bucks #lessthanthree and is it Thursday yet?

Its OK..

3 stars as its no where near worth $20 imo. It was a decent game though. Good voice acting and engaging story. Playtime varies but I did mostly story routes and finished at around 7 hours

Great atmosphere, dissapointing story

I really enjoyed playing the game, I love the way they tell the story, I love the atmosphere. But ultimately, the story feel a bit rushed in the end, and therefore dissapointing. The build up is so so good, that you really need to get a great finish, and that didnt happen here. Anyway, the gameplay is innovative and I will remember this game just like one nice summer. Its quite short, one evening session, so for 5 usd its nice experience.

Existential story in Wyoming outdoors

Immersive, enjoyable, relaxing, and unconventional. Firewatch is a game you play if you're looking for down-to-earth characters in an outdoor adventure that lacks both puzzles and combat. The game is dialogue driven, and the story is less important than the relationship you choose through the dialogue. The game constantly provides the player with choices, both in your responses during conversation, and with which trails you take around the map and where you explore. There are no right or wrong decisions - nothing will kill your avatar in the game. Firewatch is an existential story, an exploration about the meaning, or lack thereof, in the choices we make. Some reviewers have complained about the ending, but I think it's actually quite fitting. It's a game about fantasy and reality, about how reality intrudes on fantasy. It has a lot of emotion, drama, humor, and occasional suspense. It's light-hearted and heavy at the same time. All of this is embedded within a visually arresting world, complete with textured sounds and splendid voice-acting. It's not a game for those looking for stimulation or craft-heavy open worlds. It's a relaxing game. It took me about 5 hrs to complete, and i just enjoyed the scenery and the walk and the speculation and the banter and the mystery. Let the game take you away, set aside your expectations, and be absorbed into a very unique, charming, and satisfying world.
