Some frame drops for me, but I'm playing at 4K DSR, and of course the game doesn't support SLI.

I'm at like Day 77 I think. It's a bit slow. The story is good and is the only reason I'm still playing. Pulling out my map every 10 seconds is getting old. But that may just be my problem, the result of my poor sense of direction or ADD. I get turned around a lot.

Is the main character a dwarf or something? Stubby little fingers, can't climb for shite.

I'm really digging it for what it is, only at the start of day 3 so far. But it's not much of a "game". It's just an exploring simulator so far with a little bit of mystery.

I do enjoy the exploring and the environment is really pretty to look at just wish there was more game to it. Like i don't think I can fail or do anything wrong. Maybe the mystery element will introduce something more to do later *shrug*

Firewatch in a nutshell:

"hey, this is getting interesting."

"Nah, just kidding. Haha."

I really like the graphics and it sounded interesting, however these reviews tell me to wait until it's 10 bucks haha

You are correct. The game was enjoyable, but short. Very very short.

I really enjoyed the game. Wasn't crazy about the ending, I wanted more of a true conspiracy but the "game" was a good time all the same.

WOW I just watched Soda beat this game in under 4 hours and I agree with the person that said the ending is a letdown.

Yep.

Only 2 ending I can find also was to load the heli or stay there. The heli will roll out in 2 minutes if you don't board.

Yep, only took 3hrs for me. $20bucks for 3hrs is ridiculous. If you watch the previews/trailers on Steam, that is the whole game.

Potential Spoilers......










How many "things" are there to find out in the environment that will have any effect on your tower? Like I found a turtle and brought it back to my tower and now he lives in a box. I've beat the game but am curious if it's worth playing again to look for more "stuff". I enjoyed the environment a lot and don't mind replaying it, it's all the best parts of nature without getting dirty. There's just something nice and calming about walking through the woods in the game.
