I paid 5€ for this, and I regret every cent.
No story, jus a moralizing, holier-than-thou narration while walking forward and hitting a button to progress dialogue.
Do not support this garbage.

Firewatch is pretty damn amazing as a story. It makes you care about Henry, it makes you care about his need for peace. It makes you care and rejoice his friendship with Delilah with the power of a handheld radio.
It makes you want to see more, hear more, find out more, it makes you involved, and in that regard the game is a story that unfolds with an amazing pace and building suspense.
There are basically no bad things i can mention about this game except one: i really feel the ending was rushed & the game is VERY short with limited / no replayability.
The game's performance is pretty nice and works pretty well at 60FPS on a GTX780 on max settings and most of the game looks pretty amazing overall. The draw distance is pretty great and the level of (stylized) detail is defiantly there)
It's almost perfect in what it tries to do: a mystery focused on the story and the pacing in a unique settings with some of the most amazing characters and voice acting I've ever had in a game. The price is very steep for it's length, might want to wait on a sale.
I dont normaly give 5 stars but I tihnk this one diserves it. Its dripping in atmoshere and the story kind of drags you along to find out what happens next. You should defenatly play this even if your not into slower games just to say you have played it. The only problem I had was that I got stuck on a rock once and at the start its a little easy to get lost, though it is the forest so that is probably a feature..........
I was expecting more of a survival game, but what I got was a walking sim with a pretty cool story. Almost like the outdoorsy version of "Gone Home." It's a little short, but I highly recommend it. Great way to spend an afternoon.
Bought this game just to support the dev and company's bravery in taking on Pewdiepie's racist antics. But I was pleasantly surprised by the game its self. I'm not usually one to play adventure games and is more often than not playing ranked in Rainbow Six Siege and Starcraft with an occasional RPG thrown in the mix. I think I enjoyed this game because I just sat back, relaxed and allowed the game to tell the story while the amazing scenery and set pieces unfolded. It is a welcome reprieve from the cutthroat ranked games and provides plenty of food for thought. So, regardless of your reason for considering this game, just get off that fence and get it!
