An adventure which grips for a short time

I really like Firewatch. It's a different sort of game, closer to an 'experience'. There is not a huge amount which can be said without spoiling it, but essentially it is set in a national park in the US, and follows the story of someone taking up a 'firewatch' position, in a tower. There is a lot more to the game than this and safe to say that watching fires is not what the game is about. A large portion of gameplay focusses on environment exploration, and the art style is thankfully beautiful.

The game is a little short, but this didn't worry me. It's available to pick up on Steam for a low price now. There is also a file adaptation coming, may be worth a look
