Firewatch

Firewatch is one of those games that pulls you in almost immediately. The atmosphere, scenery, story, and conversations make it really easy to get invested, and I loved the mystery of slowly figuring out what was going on. It's a short game, but I think that's part of what makes it work. Every moment feels focused, and I never felt like it was dragging things out just for the sake of adding more playtime. Unfortunately, the ending was a real letdown. After everything the game builds up, I was expecting a much more satisfying conclusion, and it left me feeling a little disappointed. Still, I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it. 8/10
