What players say
Players praise Firewatch for its beautiful visuals and immersive atmosphere, but opinions split on the story: some find it deeply personal and emotional, while others call the ending anticlimactic and the choices meaningless. The game is a short, linear walking simulator that takes 4 to 6 hours to finish.
