While I understand that some people found the story of two teenage girls falling in love to be captivating, I found the story to be full of cliches, especially with how it ended. For me, that means that the story, and everything you do, to be meaningless. Ultimately, if you really think about it, the actions of Katie have absolutely no bearing on that or any other part of the story the story has already happened, and she’s just reading and understanding it after the fact. Katie is not really the protagonist, but merely the vessel to tell the story of her sister Sam, who really is not a likeable person to read about. All these factors come together to bring this immersive and mysterious world to fruition.īasically, here is how I view the game. Finally, the voice acting and the overall atmosphere crafted by the game are nearly flawless. Finally, the mystery surrounding the game that unravels throughout the course of the story is very intriguing, and quite unique compared to many games that I have played.

The exploration is easily the best part of the game. ![]() There are certainly secrets to be found, as well as information that can more fully flesh out the world in which Henry lives in. Gameplay is pretty simple, consisting of exploration, examination, and the acquisition of items within the world. The graphics are not exactly great for a newer game, but the game more than makes up for it in its accuracy of the world. And the world, while not especially large, is quite accurate in its beauty and isolation. Taking place in a region of the country that I myself have explored and loved I was quite excited to play a representation of it. Firewatch is a first person adventure game unlike anything else I have ever played.
