- Firewatch
Price: £19.99 from fave.co/2VQE1QQ
In this quiet indie game, you’re a ranger in a
remote forest, keeping an eye out for potential
wildfires. You spend a lot of time looking for
children who left their junk littered around a scenic
swimming hole, and all the while chatting (and
sort of flirting) with another ranger in a distant
tower. Creepy shenanigans are indeed afoot, but
Firewatch is more remarkable for its sense of place
and characterization, to say nothing about its
gorgeous settings and artwork that straddle the
line between realism and impressionism.
