Firewatch is hardly a game. It is an experience in-and-of-itself. Although this game appears as a walking simulator packaged in nice visuals, the intimate storytelling, exceptional voice acting, and jaw-dropping environments elevate Firewatch to the next level.

10/10 Must play!

My experience

I often found myself aimlessly looking for bases and people to destroy and manipulate as I parachuted and wingsuit'ed my way across the large map available in this game. While I may not have clocked in as many hours as many other players, I'm certain that I can say this game is both an abundance of fun and far from the unoptimized and glitchy game that it was released as.

The Breakdown

The story, admittedly, is quite lackluster; however, I am of the opinion that the gameplay more than makes up for it. I cannot tell you how much fun I had flying from town to town, liberating the people of Medici, and wreaking havoc throughout my playthough. The potential for destruction is through the roof here, giving the player plenty of creative opportunities to take down the enemy and render them, in layman's terms, boom boom dead man

I did end up speeding through this game as I liberated cities and villages far out of order, which ended up shortening my overall playthrough experience. And yes, there is definitely (nearly) infinite replayability when it comes to Just Cause 3, however, I find that my playstyle is limited to the confines of the game's story and purpose, with the purpose of Just Cause 3 being the perfect sandbox to execute one's biggest explosive fetishes.

Conclusion

Although Just Cause 3 launched as a megalodon of a game that strained even some of the beefire systems out there, nowadays this game runs great on high/ultra on my 1050ti. Overall, Just Cause 3 was the perfect getaway, literally and figuratively, to a non-existant tropical island where I could roam around and aimlessly destroy and punish anything/anyone as I so desired. Fortunately, this also happened to propel the story. At the end of the day, Just Cause 3 is, at it worst, a sandbox game and, at its best, pure explosive fun

Although the game seems a bit dated in it's single-player (albeit a compelling one), the multiplayer zombies still thrives in modern times thanks to the open source mods that are constantly being released by the community. This longevity of this game is truly a testament to the long-lost ways of great FPS games.

Score: 8/10
