Firewatch turns a boring wilderness job into a compelling adventure

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I stepped into a dimly lit room peppered with fake trees and road signs. Between the props were small pockets of people gathered around bright TVs. Each line looked like it was at least four or five people deep. It was insufferably hot — a sauna compared to San Francisco’s picturesque weather.

If this were any other game, I would’ve gotten the hell out of there.
