    You can turn off the little map marker that shows where you are on the in-world paper map and compass. It kicks so much ass when played this way that I think the marker should be opt-in at the start. Very fun and unique experience.

      Not for me… Idk why I can orient myself fine in real world but in games is terrible… I guess there is some brain thingy or because it’s not like 3D and you don’t feel like you are there no idea…

        The fuckin caves in No Man’s Sky 😡

        Stopped going into them after having to blast my way through the crust the third time!

    Overall a solid game, although as other users have mentioned it’s entirely linear and more of an interactive story. I personally found the story to be a bit contrived, but I still really enjoyed my playthrough.

    Pretty cool game if you’re looking for something chill and short. Definitely worth the price here.

    A reminder, that developers are pieces of shit for abusing YouTube dmca strikes for non dmca reasons.

    Gonna go against the grain and say it’s shit.

    It’s a walking sim not a game. There’s no engaging mechanics to play around with or much to do.

      I would agree it’s less of a “game” and more of an interactive story, but calling it shit for that reason is a bit harsh, it’s a great tale. Just not everyone’s thing.

        Of course, it’s only my opinion much the same as everyone saying how brilliant they thought it was, is.

        But having a diverse range of opinions isn’t a bad thing here and may help inform people’s purchases.

        Disagree. They use the medium of video-games, but they lack the rules based play that makes a game a game.

        If you went outside for a hike, you wouldn’t tell people you were playing a game.

          So it’s a video game, full stop. Just say you only like mechanically focused games, a valid opinion, instead of this absurd gatekeeping where games you don’t like aren’t actually games.

            Do you think the phone book was a story?

            Putting words on paper doesn’t make a story, nor does putting pixels on a screen make a game.

            There’s nothing wrong with these “interactive” stories, but they’re not games because they lack gameplay.

          Totally, dude. A hike that requires light bouldering or traversal becomes a game of ideal foot placement and clambering. If you bring a camera on a hike you end up internally rating your own pictures or hunting for opportunities. You can gamify a lot of things.

          Playing Firewatch by choosing the dialogue responses that paint Henry as a certain kind of person is a game. Role-playing, if you will.
