Firewatch is a charming experience full of gorgeous vistas and impressive voice acting. As someone who enjoys backpacking and camping, I think the setting gelled with me well and carried some of the more monotonous gameplay moments. You need to enjoy walking and looking at pretty things, because that's really all there is to do in this game. Thankfully, you're accompanied by excellent voice acting and the illusion of choice in your dialogue options, and the chemistry and banter between Delilah and Henry often made me smile. Many folks gripe about the ending, but for me it was a reminder that at the end of the day, experiences in life are temporary, and often end in unsatisfying ways. I do wish there was less hand-waving of the conspiratorial/borderline horror elements, but turning it into more of a personal story was alright.

100% Completion Notes: Walk around, find fun and cute easter eggs, beat the game. A great achievement palate cleanser after something difficult or grindy.
