Firewatch probably made me feel the most immersed in a story I've ever been, as far back as I can remember. I felt feelings of joy, surprise, sadness, and so much tension. Despite being a walking simulator I couldn't stop peeking over my shoulders because of how tense everything was. Although the story itself is full of plot holes and obscure character motivations (as I discovered after beating the game and reading some discussions), the way the story is told makes you really immersed. The dialogue in this game (most of which you control for your character) feels really natural and genuine, and really makes you connect with the characters.
As for the gameplay itself, it's as complex as walking simulators go, but at least the game allows you to run.
One thing that I absolutely hated was on the technical side: the frequent fps drops. Every time some terrain would load in the distance, I would lose anywhere from 10-50 fps for a split second, so be warned if that kind of thing is a turn-off for you.
I really enjoyed my time with Firewatch, but due to its short nature and really impactful story, it's probably a game that I would never play again.

La revelación un poco floja pero el resto de cosas bastante guay y la ambientación mola mucho
Great game, sad, essentially an interactive visual novel but enjoyed every second of the 5.5 hours I played it.
Some of the most natural dialogue I’ve ever seen in a video game. It’s also really super replayable due to being so short but overall there’s not much too this game outside of the banter between Henry and Delilah. I do think that the portrayal of Henry’s mental state while he’s stuck for months in the wilderness was well done. Overall though, Firewatch is held together by its voice acting and characterization. A really solid game that I think would really benefit from a sequel eventually.
Good story and beautiful graphics/location. These two elements made for a good time with this "walking sim"
A pretty walking simulator.
Best. Indie. Game. Ever.
I've just finished Firewatch. I loved it. If you didn't watch it/played it already, please do. The story is interesting, the game is not long. The story is amazing and has a cool twist you won't expect.

I did not get what I was expecting. Still good nonetheless

If you can I recommend making this a full singular playthrough. All trophies , all details flaws and all. Experience this in one sitting is the way i was lucky to go through and because of it i couldn't recommend this game more
História boa, não lembro muito
pqp que experiência foda, pena que o xbox não trouxe legendas traduzidas em pt-br então isso afetou um pouco minha experiência, mas continua sendo um jogo muito bom e intrigante que te prende do início ao fim com o mistério, além da delilah que é a melhor personagem do jogo, a voz dela faz o jogo ficar 10x melhor, quando eu tiver oportunidade de rejogar essa maravilha com legendas em pt-br eu irei!!!
Hace un laburo increible para construir una tremenda historia de misterio y personajes buenisimos con muy pocos elementos. Pero el final es bastante anticlimatico y baja bastante la experiencia total.
I honestly found the game too boring and very overhyped. The story is good, sure. But walking around the forest gets tiring after a while. And it’s not like there’s anything else to do, even though the game makes it seem that way, which just makes it worse. They should have just made it so that there was one path you take so that it gets less confusing and they could focus more on the other problems the game has.
Stunning on all aspects. Writing is requisite, performances are dynamic, believable and full of life, and the world is truly fun and interesting to explore.
I could never run out of positives for Firewatch, what a beautifully crafted and perfectly executed game which stays with you in ways I did not expect. For a short 4-5 hour game, the relationship you form between the 2 main characters is wonderful and not something you want to leave behind as you have discovered plenty about each other and just want to keep on learning more. Add in the different scenarios which you are discovering as you explore more of the map and deal with what is happening in intuitive ways, you end up with a wholesome and greatly intriguing experience.
I love this game, and wish I could play it for the first time again.
