Firewatch Reviews

One of THE most beautiful games out there.. I loved every second of the story, and this art style just made me wish real life looked like this! 😍 This game also made me want to become a firewatch guy.. Sadly these jobs are very rare nowadays..

This game brought an experience I never had before in gaming. A beautiful world design and storytelling that will crush your mind. I don't know how else to describe it other than beautiful. To be in the shoes of someone who is trying to go through struggles and hide from his problems only to find himself into new ones, all while exploring the gorgeous flora getting the thrills for the surprises along the story. This game is sentimental, heartbreaking, fabulous and refresher out of action games.

Almost a decade old and still a beautiful experience, While very short it gives a good insight of how everyone tries their best to escape their current reality but have to come to terms with the fact there really is not a easy way of running from the responsibilities you have. No matter what youll have to return to the things you tried so hard to run from. If youre looking for a chill relaxing game that will make you slightly mentally distraught, play this!

What a unexpected experience. Was going through my library looking for something to fill the weekend, and here I am three days later still thinking about this game. Atmospheric and narrative masterpiece, I'm sure many people were touched by and felt connection with Henry and his story. I honestly don't remeber when was the last time any piece of media made me feel that way.

This has to be one of my favorite games that I've played. I picked up this game at full price because I saw some pictures of it on TikTok, and it looked beautiful. I also liked Road 96, which isn't made by the same people but have very similar gameplay and vibe (the art style is so similar that I actually did think they were made by the same people lol). I finished the game in 4.8 hours. This was by just following the story. I never went off the path of the story, but the game has lots of different exploring options and caches you can collect that have no effect on the story other than for lore, it seems like. The scenery in this game is very beautiful and very eery at the same time. During the game, I felt super lonely and uncomfortable. I really liked the conversations between Henry and D and really enjoyed their relationship. I would definitely recommend this game but maybe at a discounted price. $20 for less than 5 hours is kinda crazy, but I enjoyed it. Spoiler Alert This game was very scary for me when, in reality, it wasn't scary at all. This game plays entirely off your imagination. The only real horror is your mind. I had never seen a game completely play off that and it was super cool. However, I did not like the ending. It felt like it was missing a lot. We finally found out who has been following us for the past 2 months, and we kinda just moved past it. I also wish we could've at least seen D in person, but I guess it suits her character that we don't. Their relationship also kinda tanks at the end to me. I feel like the end was very boring and could've used maybe a little happy moment, or a moment where I didn't feel lonely.

I want to love this game. The dialog, the characters, and the world building makes me feel so immersed. Then its all taken away by the simplicity of ending. I don't care if there something big going on or something small. Its simply you don't see any result of it all. Its a grand burger with lots of condiments, but it has no meat inside the burger ;-;. I want to see the end credits. I want to see the result of this game, whether the main character gained something or not. Nothing happened and my left feeling like I spent so long doing nothing. I want to see my wife!!!!! (ingame) Tried making this review spoiler free but brev I'm just sad by the story.

[h1] LOVE IT [/h1] I played Firewatch right after Stray ( Orange car simulator) , and this type of game truly makes you feel like you’re in the character’s shoes—choosing the right words, making decisions, and immersing yourself in the experience. The colors, the world—it was all so relaxing. I only wish there was more to discover: more mysteries to solve, puzzles, books, and journals from past firewatchers. But I truly felt betrayed when I never got to meet Delilah. It was heartbreaking. I spent the entire game wondering what she would look like after learning that she was four years older than me, unmarried, and without children. I kept asking myself why she left the firewatch station as soon as I arrived. Was I the last person she would ever talk to in this job? She once mentioned that she never spoke to the previous firewatchers the way she spoke to me. That thought stuck with me.

Absolute Cinema. Literally could not stop playing once I started. Everything about this game was incredible, from the visuals and story, to the voice acting and the relationship with Henry and Delilah. Highly recommend this to anyone interested. 100% worth it

Well done game for one evening. It wasn't [i]amazing[/i] experience for me, especially because of backtracking and [spoiler]disappointing ending[/spoiler], but overall it's just nice.

Gah, I'm so torn on this game... On the one hand, Firewatch has great graphics, fantastic 10/10 dialogue, immersive gameplay and a really intriguing first act. ...on the other hand, the ending feels rushed and deeply unsatisfying. In the end, I'll recommend it due to the first half. Just don't expect it to hold up all the way through (such a shame...)
