Firewatch. What can we say about this beautiful looking title? I've had my eyes on this since it was first announced.

It's art style, it's freshness in concept. All contributes to make me scream: TAKE MAH MOOLAH!

What's Firewatch? I suppose the best way to describe it is as in "Exploration Investigative Interactive" story.
We play as Henry, a Firewatch who's assigned to a tower in a forest in Wyoming. Out on his patrol, upon his return Henry finds his tower to have been thoroughly searched and assaulted.
As he's trying to figure out what happened to his little shelter, he notices a shadowy towering figure has been on the watch in the distance.
Armed of his courage, a walkie-talkie and the support of his supervisor only, Delilah, Henry departs towards the discovery of what might soon get out of hands.

The game is solely based on exploration, investigation and communication with your supervisor. Up to you how and when to reply to her. your decision will have an effect on the story
and your relationship with Delilah herself.


The game is set to be released today, February the 9th and reviews have already started to flow in!

And what a good start might I add! The game received an average of 82/100 on PC and 80/100 on PS4, based on Metacritics.

Been looking forward to this for a while. I'll play it at some point, but want to clear some of my backlog first.

Good to see all the positive reviews.
