You can take pictures of anything while you are out in the open, and any photos you do take are shown during the end credits, as well as a couple of others that were taken before you found it. One achievement requires you to fill a camera with pictures once you find it. Half of the ten achievements are for story progression and the rest involve finding specific things. ![]() They are numbered so you don’t miss any out, but also appear on your map if you cannot find the next one.įor the completionists, this is a very easy 1000G game. These are presented as cassettes to pick up and play in your Walkman and this in itself is a novel idea and fitting with the games overall aesthetics. The F ree R oam mode added in with the Xbox One release allows you to revisit all the stunning locations at your own pace and is a great inclusion for a game that looks this good.Īlso inclu ded is the Directors Commentary which allows you to main through the main game with little vignettes from the development team. Even during the tense moments I found myself distracted by how gorgeous the game was, and I mean this in the best way possible. ![]() Often I would just stand and look around at the surroundings from the lookout tower, or watch the sun set behind a mountain in the distance. Aside from these graphical issues, the rest of the game is stun ning though. These happen quite frequently, and are just long enough each time to be a distraction. I noticed at some points in the game there were brief pauses in the gameplay, particularly whenever I was climbing up or down rocky precipices. It again harks back to the Walking Dead and the prompt that follows an action you do: ‘…will remember that’. This was later reported back to me that the original owners were unhappy that I did so. So I dumped it in the water and it instantly broke. However, it only played one song and detracted from the decent soundtrack playing behind it. I took it with me with the intention of putting it in my lookout tower to have something to listen to. At one point there was a boom box on the floor playing music. ![]() The game itself allows for plenty of exploration and a high lev el of interaction within the world. And it would have been nice to include a little bit of padding to lengthen the story, only if because the characters are so b elievable in the first instance that I wanted to know everything about them. Admittedly though, this is short considering the price point. It sucks you in completely and you can find yourself completing the entire four or five hour story in one sitting. There were times throughout Firewatch where my heart was pounding out of my chest and then the big reveal happens at the end, and it was more like an “Oh” rather than a “Wow!” But this is subjective in a game where the story is so engrossi ng right from the first text that appears on the screen. Where the plot does fall down though is with the ending. The outcomes won’t be as drastic as they could be in The Walking Dead, but it is clear where its influences lie. Even down to the fact you only have a few seconds to respond. Telltale are famous for the character interactions and it’s clear from the conversation options where the team at Campo Santo came from. It’s a credit to the game to be able to forge an entire relationship between two characters just by communicating through walkie-talkies. One of the hooks is experiencing their relationship grow first hand and seeing what happens next between them. Everything that they say just feels so natural, almost like there wasn’t a script at all and it was real-life. There is a fantastic plot throughout, but the highlight is the relationship between Henry and Delilah. Of course, you do not spend the next 78 days dealing with trivial issues like this. First up is investigating who keeps setting off fireworks. The game then follows primarily their relationship over the next 79 days as they communicate only through a walkie-talkie, discussing their reasons for being there, with Delilah explaining to Henry what his job actually involves. For Henry, he needed an escape after the diagnosis of his wife, so takes the job in a remote location where most outside contact is avoided. Delilah has been doing the job every summer for the past 10 years. Firewatch is centred around Henry and Delilah as they both work as fire lookout in Shoshone National park during 1989.
