I’d be more forgiving if I was playing on my five-years-outdated PC, but it’s ridiculous that almost every area stutters when I walk through it. Similarly, the frame rate is abominable for the PS4. Though you can usually only see Henry’s hands and feet, they tend to clip through scenery and other objects – it’s pretty noticeable if you’re jumping down from rocks, for example. There’s also a fair amount of clipping and glitches, too.
FIREWATCH GAME NUDITY TRIAL
Half the map is untraversable, since it took tips from Fallout: New Vegas and had mountains in the way of everything, and it’s ultimately a mixture of frustrating trial and error. In theory, it should be easy to follow the trails, but they aren’t all that obvious when you’re wandering around, since they blend into the foliage so well, and if you wander off, you’ll end up going in circles. The second to last mission, where you have to find the tracker’s source, nearly made me give up on the game. I feel this would have been one of the times that a convenient cut-to-black teleport would have been useful, especially since finding places on the trails is an absolute nightmare. While I feel it fits with the immersion to not have Henry move faster than a jog and only have a paper map, this did wear thin when the game wanted me to jog halfway across the map, all the way back from where I’d just been! One mission had me leave Wapiti Meadow to go find the rangers near Ruby River, only to pick up an axe and walk straight back there. As you stumble around the forest, weird and inexplicable things begin to happen, and the player is left just as powerless as Henry is. At first, I was confused as to what the gameplay could actually be, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one.įirewatch is a creature of simplicity all you can really do is walk, job, study a map, and pick things up, and in truth, that’s all you really need to do. So when I saw Firewatch begin to appear on my Tumblr feed, I figured it could go one of two ways like Undertale, with the most obnoxious fandom known to man and would thus put me off for life, or it turn out like Until Dawn, which was a masterpiece out of nowhere.Īnd thank God it was the latter, or I would have wasted £15.įirewatch is the story of Henry, your American everyman, who takes a summer job in a Wyoming National Park keeping watch over the Shoshone forest and calling in/dealing with any potential risky behaviour.
Year after year, the majority of releases have paper thin plots, preferring instead to insist how seeing every single pore on a character’s face is much more important than a coherent storyline. I’m just going to admit it – games with a good story are becoming a rarity.
