| Chazore said: Been playing it since yesterday but haven't gotten too far. It's my first walking sim type game and so far it's ok, nothing really amazing but ok. The voice acting is actually quite nice and whenever a tune eventually decides to play it fits the tone of the game and it;s surroundings. Story wise it's alright, definitely has a sob story to tell and though I do have empathy, i don't have too much because I can sort of already tell the plot with the way the characters talk to the actions that are happening. Also I heard the game doesn't really have much replay value and I caught the first few mins of Jim Sterling playing the game only to find the starting choices he made didn't make much of a difference compared to mine which kinda makes me scratch my head with choice making when they don't give you actual outcomes. Still it;s priced a lot better than the Witness for an indie game and I'd say go for it. The PC version even sports being able to have your photos taken in-game to be printed by the devs themselves and sent to you (or be like me and take them to your local photo/copy store). |
Wow. Seriously? While Firewatch seems a great game (I intend to play it), it's only maybe 6 hours of gaming for 20€ to see the end, and it's just a walking game (mostly).
On the other hand with The Witness at 36€, you'll need maybe 30 hours to see the first end, more than 50 hours if you want to real end. And the game is already considered by many a masterpiece of game design, looks indie, but it really feels AAA when you play the game because It's incredibly polished (8 years to make this game!).
And the Witness is much better technically too on PS4 and runs at a very impressive consistent 60fps. They use a in-house engine they specifically made for this game (not your typical Indie!) and it shows. When Firewatch use the disapointing Unity engine.
