“ You came out to put your memories behind you and they're still right there in front of you.”

This is my second time playing Firewatch and I can without a doubt promise you it will not be my last.

The story of a man so wrought with grief and despair that he ventures out into the secluded wilderness so he can try and forget what he’s tried to leave behind. While there he meets another lookout on his radio named Delilah and they get wrapped up in a strange and twisty mystery.

The stunning visuals only compliment the already perfect story and create an environment that is just as serene as it is haunting.

The gameplay elements are surprisingly great for something so simple as a walking simulator. It’s very straightforward, but how it’s implemented is great imo.

Overall, Firewatch is simply fantastic in every way possible. A beautifully animated intimate and introspective game filled with just as much mystery as heart. Definitely a high recommendation from me.
