Much of the game begs for screen caps, but the camera is a neat way to capture your views while making them more memorable since your film roll is limited. My favorite item, though non-essential, is a disposable camera. As you explore, Henry will often update his maps in accordance with his findings as well as other watchers personal notes. The map is without a doubt you’re most important tool which, combined with your compass, is key to navigating the winding trails. The most helpful are ropes and an axe, both of which make new paths available that both push the story along and make shortcuts for your travels. To help you along the way, you will gets a few pieces of equipment. These tasks eventually tie into a deeply thrilling storyline, but that is for you to discover without me to spoil. As you explore the various trails in your sector, you will be given various tasks from Delilah that push the day along. The mountain skylines, bodies of water, and picture perfect skies are a wonder to behold. Vibrant foliage covers the hills, making hiking a visually appealing task. To what degree I will leave for those now eager to play, but it all ties into the story at hand. By the end of my playthrough, the two bonded over the summer. She pairs well with Henrys easy going approach on life, and they are the type that would easily get along in a local bar. She’s a tequila and crossword loving realist who finds humor in almost any scenario. You have the power of choice, and it seems to play an important role in his and Delilah’s relationship. He is a good, honest man if you so choose him to be, or he can be more of a selfish man. In many cases, you get to pick the responses of Henry, which flow easily from choice to choice. Estranged from his wife, he finds solace in the forest, as well as in Delilah (voiced by Cissy Jones.) Their dynamic is impeccable, never missing a beat. Henry, voiced by Mad Men's Rich Sommer, is a stable but emotionally weary man. From somber to serious moments, and a whole lot of comical ones in between, each line and the emotion behind it comes off incredibly natural and believable. Their chit chats throughout the days of your watch become more engaged with each passing moment. Henry and Delilah are a dream team of a duo. Their connections and banter are what drive the game to its heights of narrative greatness. This is normally a fairly lonely job, but on the other end of his radio is his sole contact Delilah. It’s the summer of '89, and he has taken up a job as a fire lookout for the Shoshone National Park to get away from his troubled life in Boulder, Colorado. Players take control of Henry, an emotionally conflicted outdoorsman. At the heart of Firewatch lies an extremely well written and delivered thriller, though from an outside perspective it’s a straightforward, semi-open world walking simulator. But I am glad it did, and I am even more glad that Campo Santo gave me the chance to play it, because it is one exhilarating piece of work that puts emphasis on a character driven narrative that nails emotion in a realistic way. I didn't know that it was going to make me emotionally attached to multiple characters without ever seeing their faces. I didn't know that it had about five hours worth of some of the best scripted and most natural sounding dialogue you will have heard this year in gaming. I didn’t know that it was home to wildly colorful scenes of nature landscapes. I knew that earlier this year it released on PS4 and PC to much high praise, and was primarily a first person narrative driven experience. Delilah talking about you on the phone – I think she might have been talking about her boyfriend to someone else.Twisted Fire Started By Edwin Velez Reviewed on Xbox One Released on September 20th, 2016 on Xbox One (Also available on PS4 & PC) Developer: Campo Santo Publisher: Campo Santo I knew very little about Firewatch going in. He wanted Henry to believe in the government conspiracy – so he faked all that stuff typewritten reports – that's actually very well explained (via the notes in Ned's bunker). And when he locks him in the cave, he's desperate to protect the secret. The episode when he hits Henry in the face is when Ned drops a radio (presumably on accident) and doesn't want Henry to find out about it. Ned attacks the girls probably because they are camping too close to his hideout and could notice something. It's implied that it's actually the girls who break into your tower that night (because they have your bedsheets). It starts when Ned screws up and Henry sees him. The neighbors didn't care/thought they moved away the search – they presumably didn't have any relatives, so nobody could report they were missing. I think most of it can be explained, more or less
