Overall i don't regret buying nor playing this game, but i would'nt recommend it wholeheartedly either. That was just a lot more interesting, especially because the characterinteraction between the two was really good and authentic, especially so when the fire started and you stood there in the night, flirting a bit with her and all. With his women suffering dementia, him trying to get away, meeting that other women from the other watchtower, bantering and flirting. I think the game would've been a lot better if it would've focused more on the personal part of the story. didn't really got to know either of those two really. A guy i've never seen killed another guy i've never seen. The weird lost like social experiment stuff was interesting and thrilling but the reveleation at the ending just left me not feeling anything. Then there is the story, which started off as something very personal which i really liked. Overalll, i liked the first half a lot more than the second half.Р”Р‡or one thing, the atmosphere was just straight up better, because you were exploring and saw new things and all, when the second part mostly consistet of revisiting already known places. That's good, because it's realistic, but also bad because it underlines that their time together wasn't all that special in the end. Like how the game skips about 20 days two times, is the player supposed to assume their relationship is developing in the meantime? The ending kind of shows just how unsubstantial their actual relationship was. The problem is that the game is just too short, leaving what feels like large blanks the player is supposed to fill in. It's well written, though not as funny as I would like. The banter between H and D is better and it's the strongest point of the game. Julia getting Alzheimer didn't do anything for me, simply because I just don't know this woman. It's too condensed into a bullet point summary of Henry's life for me to really get invested. I already didn't like the way the story opens. Overall I'd say Firewatch is unsubstantial. It's meant to make D untrustworthy (which is good), but it's done in a cheap way imo.

The Delilah mysterious convo red herring was also kind of bullshit. It's obvious Campo used the research facility as one of the elements to make the player think it was going the horror game route, but the real explanation for it all just doesn't make sense. why scientists would leave expensive research equipment unsupervised there. the research facility is not on the map, 2. Then he burned the facility down to make them even more nervous and as a way to erase the evidence. After the ending it seems the explanation is that Ned planted his manuscripts there for H to find, making it look like H and D were being researched.
