    Superbly Comfy

    As far as “walking sim” games go Firewatch has been the undisputed king in my eyes for a while and still is. At it’s core it is dependant on the dialogue and interaction between Henry and Delilah and b... Read Full Review

    Hiking. Discovering. And making a friend.

    The Good:- The scenery is beautiful. Lighting is done very well. It adjust accordingly if you're surrounded by a lot of rocks, making it more orange. And changes again if you're amidst a lot of trees. I felt very relaxed... Read Full Review

    Firewatch

    The art style is wonderful, the score is perfect and it is a master in storytelling. The relationship between Delilah and Henry, more specifically its ability to resonate with the player is truly something special. Howev... Read Full Review
