The title sucks but the video and especially the game is great! Seriously, I need to get my hands on some proper titles once in a while. Not what this is about.
I've waited for Firewatch for some time. A while, let's call it. And it's beautiful. And I identify with it.
I don't want to spoil the story, even the opening bits, but I highly suggest you watch the video. Even if you don't want my brand of commentary or the amazing voice acting or highly skilled storytelling, you can mute the damned thing and gawk at the gorgeous scenery. Gorgeous! I say again: Gorgeous!
A man runs from his problems, which are devastating. He finds himself as a member of the park ranger firewatch service, and then finds himself tangled in a mystery.
I was going to go on and on about the merits of the game, of which there are many, but what this comes down to is a simple, well told story set in a stunning environment with characters who could actually exist. It's real.
Have the best day you've ever had.
