Firewatch
Firewatch was an experience to behold upon its release in February this year. As we explored the stunning scenery of the Wyoming wilderness, we uncovered the secrets of the forest and got ourselves further tangled into an atmospheric and emotional storyline. Though the voice acting and music certainly helped with the immersion, it was Firewatch’s beautiful environments that made this game particularly memorable.
Admiring the sunset in the distance as we made our way back to our watch tower, or wandering through the forest as the sunlight burst through gaps in the canopy above us were poignant moments. Not because something particularly interesting in the game was going on, but because it reminded us that, although there were some creepy goings on, the wilderness was still a beautiful hub of nature. And if that wasn’t enough, you could even pay to get proper print out photos of your in-game screenshots.
