Firewatch is Gorgeous, but the Fire Never Rises.
Minor spoilers, but no dead give aways.

First off let me say that the game is gorgeous, and its good; but it isnt great. The art is really neat and looks great for what it is. The music is captivating and goes great with the setting. That being said, the plot falls short. I felt like I was playing "Explore the Woods Simulator 2016" more than a mystery game. Sure there is a mystery but it never really is explained it kind of just develops out of nowhere. One minute you are at point A. and suddenly you are at Z with very little in between. It was frightening to play thinking that there was more to come but it just never happened. The most intense moment in the game is a semi stealthy exploration of an unchartered camp which, in reality, isn't even a threatening part of the game. I was giddy in the middle. I felt like the game might have a scooby doo ending where theres a villian behind everything trying to scare away people to secure his treasure or something silly, but it didn't even come close to that. In fact, you never even really encounter a villian. Like I said, its a decent game, not worth $17 though. Maybe grab it on sale and kocnk it out one day. Just don't go in with hopes of a great story.

Would not reccomened for full retail. Pick it up on sale and enjoy it.
