Firewatch Reviews

A beautiful game with a fun but sad story. The visuals and the sound design enhances the calm, relaxed , yet suspenseful atmosphere. The mood and mystery is very well crafted and the relationship between Henry and Deliliah offers a heartfelt dialogue that keeps you invested. Firewatch is an unforgettable experience that combines storytelling, exploration and emotional depth in a unique way. It would be nice to see a sequel to this game as it is pretty short but other than that I would definitely recommend this game.

great gameplay, great graphics and captivating story.

Graphics good, had fun until I'm pretty much lost and stop playing it months ago.

Awesome little game. Had me guessing up until the end. The ending really was profound!

Never been big on narrative/adventure, it's unfortunately so exhausting to focus. Still playing Disco Elysium after 5 years for the same reason. I loved this one however. The atmosphere, the sound. The reasons from other reviews. The controversy around that a*s streamer. Only came here to buy the OST actually. (Playtime on Steam Deck didn't count for some reason)

10/10 Firewatch has a story that stays with you, stunning visuals, and excellent voice acting.

Firewatch is one of those games that quietly wrecks you. You go in thinking it’s just a walking sim, trees, sunsets, and then suddenly you're knee-deep in your own feelings because a woman on the radio asked how you're holding up. There’s no combat, no inventory. Just you, a damaged past, and Delilah’s voice in your ear. And somehow… that’s enough. More than enough. It’s haunting, beautiful, funny, and incredibly human. By the end, I didn’t want to leave the tower. I didn’t want to lose that voice. Short game. Long aftertaste. See you, Delilah. Maybe in another life.

what. a. game. and the end credit music. uff, perfection. i hope i get a delilah...

Henry stepped away to disappear, Not from flames, but from the fear. A life once whole, now cracked and worn, A heart left bruised, a soul torn. He took the tower, high and cold, A place where stories go untold. Alone with trees that stretch and sway, Where night blurs softly into day. The forest hums with quiet dread, A stalker’s shadow just ahead. Is it real, or mind’s unrest? A whispered secret, unconfessed. Delilah’s voice, through static, clear, A tether close though never near. Two strangers bound by unseen ties, Watching fire beneath strange skies. The world here bends—time slips and slides, Where truth and fear walk side by side. Not every question finds a way, Not every night dissolves to day. This game’s a space to stand and feel, To face the past you tried to heal. No heroes come with shining swords, Just quiet fights and whispered words. Firewatch is more than flame or smoke, It’s silence speaking—raw, bespoke. A story told between the trees, Of loss, of hope, and memories. Step inside and you might find, A mirror held to heart and mind. A lonely watch, a fragile spark— A light that shines inside the dark. A quiet journey, deep and true— A game that stays and changes you.

I saw a guide titled “How to cure depression after completing the game” and thought it would help. It didn’t. Actually, finishing the game left me feeling hollow — not because it was bad, but because it hit somewhere deep and personal in a way I wasn’t prepared for. It isn’t the greatest game I’ve ever played, but it’s definitely a very good one. There’s something undeniably captivating about it — the atmosphere, the visuals, the music, the voice acting — all of it works together to create a deeply immersive experience. The graphics are stunning; I often stopped just to admire the view and take a screenshot. The story is linear, but it still gives small windows of freedom — the possibility to explore the forest beyond the main objectives, stumble upon little moments or places that make the world feel alive. For me, it was depressing in a quiet, creeping way. It reflects some of the things I fear in real life. Still, I’m glad I played it. It’s a beautiful experience — not because of action or thrill, but because of its emotional depth and the way it lingers in your mind long after it’s over.
