Good story exploration game
Firewatch is an enjoyable story exploration game, for those who like that genre. It takes place in an open world forest setting. The game mainly consists of conversation between Henry (the playable character) and his boss, Delilah, whom he knows only by radio.
PRO:
- Great dialogue
- Great voice acting
- Beautiful stylized graphics
CON:
- Non-intuitive controls
- Exploring gets a little frustrating, with lots of dead ends and invisible walls
- Somewhat anticlimactic ending
