Didnt this have some performance issues on consoles? I'm interested in seeing how this runs on switch.

Neat to finally see this! Just an interesting tidbit: my brother and cousin filmed the trailer :) We have a youtube channel withoutdoor vids and we were contacted to film the outdoor parts of the trailer.

Is this the first time there has been a Valve game on a Nintendo console? :D

(Kindda)
It's not a Valve game, not even kinda. Everything related to Firewatch is completely unrelated to the Valve move.

They've heavily optimized it for Switch and those optimizations will be brought to other versions, as per the announcement blog from April.

I've been interested in this for a while now, I'll hold on for a while for a possible physical edition. Exciting!

Really fantastic game.

Really cool little game, sadly not very replayable at all. But if you don't have it yet, it's worth a buy.

I'd say it's replayable in the sense a great book or movie is rewatchable or rereadable, it's the game equivalent of that. I've revisited it since I originally played it. The overall experience doesn't change but if you like what the experience is, it's enjoyable to immerse yourself in again. See the story and the characters, experience the visuals and the music etc

I mean there are branching dialogue trees (although they don't change much outside of the dialogues themselves), and the developer commentary is well worth listening to.

Oh 100%. I didn't want to dig in to it too deeply since I appreciate what the other poster was saying and just giving my own take on that but yes, I would agree with there being some variable elements that are worth checking out on extra runs.

This is my favourite 'walking-simulator' type of game. It tackles very mature themes that you rarely see in games but it's also engaging from an exploration and gameplay perspective. Much better than something like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture which put me to sleep.

Anyone planning on picking this up today? I played the intro on a friends PS4 a couple of years ago and I'd love to finally play it all. I've not seen any videos/articles on performance though.

Game is up on eShop (can confirm for EU at least):



I'm waiting for impressions but I am ready to dip one more time :)

I think this doesn't needs a new thread, but this happened to me and found it hilarious. I liked the game but the pop-in is so atrocious it allowed me to fall to the void.
