I finished this game yesterday and I've watched multiple playthroughs of it on YouTube to get a general feeling and to make sure I got everything.

No spoilers.



The game starts off telling you your life story, or at least your life since you met a girl named Julia. This interesting intro is meant to get you connected to the character through simple texts and dialogues, and it works. During the dialogue there will be brief moments when it will take a pause and flash back to the present and show you heading to your Firewatch tower in Wyoming. The story you receive at the beginning of the game is as important as the story you receive at any other part so I won't spoil it for you.

After the intro is over you go back to the present where you are standing in front of your fire lookout tower, you head up to report in to your supervisor and to get some sleep after your two day hike here. Upon entering you are greeted by your supervisor via a walkie-talkie, her name is Delilah.

During the following months you'll be faced with obstacles, mysteries, and a feeling of sadness. During these months your only companion is Delilah, who can be funny, sarcastic, and nice- depending on how you treat her.

The game is pretty damn good in almost every way, but the only downside is the ending (and the length), it's pretty sudden and uneventful, but there's some good in it. I'll explain exactly what happens in the ending in a spoiler, but I'll keep out the mysteries and what not out.

Overall this game is a 8/10 the only real negative thing is the length and the ending, everything else was great.

Honestly. This review was as short as the game.


Good game, but god damn it needs more to it. Filler or whatever you want. It sets up this atmosphere and then BAM, you're done.

Yeah, I beat it in a few hours, and there's not much replay ability.

Also the review was going to be longer, but I'm on mobile at school and after finishing the review the first time, sep7  crashed and I had to rewrite it.

Oh what the fuck, I was expecting some evil satanic Lithuanian woods cult to be discovered as the main dark secret in the game.

Isn't there supposed to be some horror element to it?

Not really. It's just an adventure game.

How short are we talking?

Yeah the ending was a bummer, and i kinda wanted a twist like Delilah was working with Ned

I bought it when it was 10% of on Steam. I wouldn't advise paying any more than that for it, even though it's a good game.

I do wish that replaying the story with different answers to Delilah would result in different conclusions. Giving me the illusion of choice that really doesn't effect the story is kinda dumb.

Loved the visuals though.

How short are we talking?

3-4 hours, usually. There might be some special cases of 5-6.

Saw a screenshot of someone playing it, looked nice.

I thought you didn't have a PS4.

I finished Firewatch the other day and loved it.

It's on PC.
