Dawn of Man

Doesn't work on Mac laptops with a notch

I have a MacBook Pro with that idiotic notch in the menu bar. This game doesn't account for it and display UI elements off the top edge of the screen, making it basically unplayable on this computer. I tried adjusting the resolution setting and that got at most half of the missing area to show up.

Firewatch

Completely linear, illusory choices

While it's got pretty visuals, and claims to be an open exploration game, really it's completely linear; you are barred from accessing particular areas until you complete specific steps in order. The premise is that you are a man who's left a bad life situation to get away from it all by becoming a fire monitor in the wilderness, and your only contact is by radio to a woman at another tower. You have various choices in dialog with her, none of which are actually consequential. You can talk with her or explore the initial area of the game, with its thinly disguised—and in one case literal and not disguised at all—gating, and deal with various minor problems via choices that don't actually produce different consequences later. You'll make discoveries, even encounter some seeminly dark mysteries, but it's all completely scripted and even the surprise reveal toward the end turned out to be something I'd figured out a while back. And then, the end just happens. Save yourself a few bucks and a few hours and play some other game.
