It's not the longest game ever, but it's ideal in doing what it wants. The ending may disappoint and seem underwhelming, but that's subjective at worst

Visually splendid world, Believable, endearing characters, The power to craft a real relationship
Central mystery doesn't totally make sense, Minor yet persistent technical issues

Firewatch is a beautiful story of escapism and loss, set against the beautiful Wyoming wilderness. The physicality of your interactions, the excellent radio conversations, and poignant writing and imagery are hindered only by slight issues in presentation...
