With the remainder of my Steam gift card from my birthday, I'm having trouble deciding between this and Kentucky Route Zero. Any recommendations?

Finally started. Might try to play one day at a time since it's so short? Maybe one day every IRL day? I have no idea how many days there are tho. Do you guys recommend spreading it out a bit or just plowing through it?

Just plow through, or maybe take a break after BIG MOMENTS. The days are pretty unevenly paced. Some breaks might help though.

Just finished Firewatch today! I waited until a Steam sale to buy it because I heard the short length wasn't really worth the $20. After playing, I think the beautiful graphics made it worth the cost, even if the game was quite short. I love hiking IRL so it was fun to be able to do it in a game--I thought all the details were really nice as well. Normally I get frustrated when I get lost or stuck in a game, but in this one I didn't really mind wandering around the park a bit because everything was just so pleasant.

I haven't really decided what my thoughts on the overall narrative were and what I thought about the end, but I don't think I'm as annoyed with it as some people might have been.

Got it on my Christmas Steam shopping spree, finished it in 3 hours, $12 for 3 hours is not too bad for entertainment, $20 would have been too much though for it.

For some reason I actually really liked not having as much control in this game...I don't know how to articulate. I just really enjoyed the simplicity of it all. It was pretty refreshing.

Oxenfree thread is locked and the last video game you played thread just won't do so I'll post about Life is Strange in the Firewatch thread instead of the Life is Strange thread
