Firewatch isn’t any of the things I expected it to be. Firewatch is a game about escape, loneliness, friendship and facing reality, told in a tightly controlled explorable world and with some top class writing and acting.
From a team who cut their teeth on Telltale’s The Walking Dead, Firewatch feels like a natural and smart evolution, offering choices without as many constraints, but at the same time expertly funneling players down a path.

Henry takes a job at a firewatch station in Wyoming’s Shoshone National Forest. He’s going to be alone most of the time, sat at his post ready to report any sign of fire. 1080X1920 5120x2880 Firewatch Digital Art 5K Wallpaper, HD Artist 4K Wallpapers, Images, Photos and Background 4K - Best of Wallpapers for Andriod and ios DOWNLOADS firewatch-digital-art-wallpapers-51358-1001177-4891227. For reasons I won’t go into, this is fine. It’s somewhat revealing, then, that it is Henry’s relationship with his boss, fellow firewatch station sitter, Delilah, that forms the centrepiece of the game.Īrmed with a two-way radio, Henry and Delilah talk. You can make conversation choices and this shapes how things play out – at one point I pissed Delilah off so she refused to talk to me for a while. If you have one of your own you’d like to share, send it to us and we’ll be happy to include it on our website.
While the relationship begins a bit awkwardly (Delilah is Henry’s boss so is always telling him what to do) it soon develops and the two open up to each other and discuss their complicated lives. We have an extensive collection of amazing background images carefully chosen by our community. Henry is given tasks that see him set out into the great outdoors, wandering around in first-person, hopping over obstacles, climbing up to ledges, parasailing down cliff faces, hacking down trees and all kinds of other things you might expect someone to do when trying to make sure people aren’t causing trouble in the forest. It’s all single-button-press stuff rather than anything overly ‘gamey’ but it’s interactive and gives the sense that you are out there, doing your job. As you complete tasks days pass (often more than one at a time) and things start to develop that suggest all isn’t right.ĭiscovering what’s going on is part of the Firewatch experience, but the game does a brilliant job of unnerving you. This isn’t a horror game, not even close, but the sense of isolation is played on superbly, so even little things get under your skin. Your only connection to humanity is Delilah, and I found myself trying to radio her even when there was no option to do so. I guess I just wanted to speak to somebody. The dialogue is excellent and the acting natural, and there’s some sparingly used but effective music.
