Wow. I heard good things about this game, so I decided to give it a go. I know I'm a bit late to the party but I enjoyed my time on Firewatch. Granted it wasn't too long, but a relaxing(ish) game that continued to pull me in until the very short end.

--Story--
For the short story that there is in this game I did enjoy it. It's is hard to talk about the games story without spoiling too much since the game is like I've been saying, a bit short.

--Gameplay--
Mainly a walking simulator in the Wyoming wilderness. Use a handheld radio to communicate with NPC for story/humor purposes. Graphics are pretty and appealing. Do have to note, the game didn't tell me that "R" is the toggle jog option until about an hour in.. Felt really stupid after.

--Notes--
Throughout my playing I did find a few bugs like when Henry would get stuck into a piece of the environment or not jump off rocks, unless I walked at them at the exact correct angle. As I've said a bunch of times. The game is roughly 5~ hrs long if you intend on only playing one playthrough. I do see the appeal of playing it one or two more times for the "what-if I picked this" type people. Personally, not a huge fan of replaying games, so if you're like me, wait until this game is on sale to pick it up! 7/10
