Seemingly more interested in snubbing the player than being a game in and of itself, potential buyers of Firewatch should make like the gameplay of this product, and just keep walking.
Where is the interplay between race (faction in this game) and class? Where are the interesting specialization choices? What happened to all the cool units? What happened to the fun ability of some characters to mind control units on the map and build up a deathball? Clickfest interface clearly designed for controllers instead of PCs (always a sour note) Uninteresting empire development, bland tech tree. Secret technologies lack the fun or impact of character classes, especially without specializations to add variety. Planetfall has the bones to be a really solid game you could play for years and years, but at the end of the day the devs forgot to add in the fun.
