Firewatch is a beautifully atmospheric walking simulator, with it's great outdoors clearly a mirror to Gone Home's cosy indoors, but I personally dislike how these games always feel like they're missing a proper epilogue. Like what the hell happened to Sam at the end of Gone Home, what the hell happened to Delilah, or Henry, or Ned, at the end of this? I'm pretty sure the writers do it deliberately to save time and to encourage Tumblr fan-fiction about the characters.

That, combined with the short length of the game, makes it hard to recommend at retail price. So I'll give you the same advice I gave for Gone Home. It's good, but wait for a sale before buying.
