About Firewatch
Firewatch is a single-player first-person video game where you, as a man named Henry, explore the Wyoming wilderness after taking a summer job as a fire lookout. What is supposed to be a peaceful respite from your complicated life takes a turn when you start to question some of the things that are happening to you.
Your only human connection is over a handheld radio, which you’ll use to speak with your supervisor Delilah about the things both of you are experiencing.

The setup does a lot of heavy lifting early on, the voice acting sells the isolation better than most games manage with a full cast. Where it loses me a bit is the final stretch, it wraps up faster than the tension it built up.

Mon été à moi ressemblait à ça aussi, la radio en fond, seul, sans but précis.

Yo también recuerdo esa primera tarde, y todavía vale la pena defenderlo aquí.

Lo jugué en un verano bastante raro para mí, sin muchas ganas de nada, y terminé enganchado a la radio y a esa sensación de estar SOLO en medio de la nada. No sé si fue el juego o el momento, pero se me quedó dentro.

La fin divise, mais pour moi c'est ce qui la rend mémorable.
ArcadeOwl
fair take, the ending always splits people more than the rest of the game does

No lo terminé en una sola sesión, iba jugando ratos sueltos por la noche, y aun así me quedó grabado. Para mí merece estar en el top aunque sea discreto.

Los ratos sueltos también fueron mi manera de jugarlo, y funcionó igual de bien, igual de bien que si lo hubiera hecho de un tirón.

Llego tarde a este duelo pero bueno, ahí va mi opinión de todos modos, porque para eso está el hilo supongo. A mí Firewatch me parece de los que se sostienen más por el ambiente que por lo que realmente cuentan, y cuando lo comparan con los otros tres que suele enfrentar aquí siempre sale perdiendo en lo que se queda contigo después. Lo jugué entero y no me arrepiento, pero puesto tan arriba en tantos duelos me sigue pareciendo bastante generoso.
