Firewatch is another "walking simulator" game, which simply means it's heavy on exploration and looking at items, but not much else.

The emphasis here again is story, but with such an amazing setting the world itself becomes a character. Working in a city 9-5 (Manchester - it gets bloody busy) makes me long for a job like in this game, out in the woods, relaxing, potential murders happening.....wait ignore that last one.

If you love slowly developing story and exploration, this game is definitely worth a pickup. I loved it. If you are after a lot of heavy gameplay though then this is not the game for you.
