In addition, it is well told, and with multiple choices at several points in the game it is easy to craft a different “Henry” every playthrough, which will affect minor things throughout the game. It easily goes back and forth between being hilariously funny only to quickly punch you in the gut with its with its overall sadness. In addition, the story, with a couple of issues, is masterfully well done.


The exploration is easily the best part of the game. There are certainly secrets to be found, as well as information that can more fully flesh out the world in which Henry lives in. Gameplay is pretty simple, consisting of exploration, examination, and the acquisition of items within the world. The graphics are not exactly great for a newer game, but the game more than makes up for it in its accuracy of the world. And the world, while not especially large, is quite accurate in its beauty and isolation. Taking place in a region of the country that I myself have explored and loved I was quite excited to play a representation of it. Firewatch is a first person adventure game unlike anything else I have ever played.
