This game is so special in so many ways. Can't even properly form ideas to speak sense... Just beautiful in every aspect. Visuals... Sound... Music... Pacing... Writing...

Couldn't have said it better myself

I'd like to see more creative use of art in AAA games instead of a push for photorealism. I find stylised looks to be more exciting and also help develop a game's unique iconography/look - Borderlands, TF2, Dishonered, The Witness come to mind. Obviously dev's should only do it if it fits the type of game they're making; but I though Firewatch was one of the best looking games I've ever played and demonstrates, again, the top notch stuff coming out of the indie scene.

[@otherplaces]

+HerbieCN Totally agree. Photorealism is an artistic dead end.

[@amstabomitdembabo5984]

+ultrabrilliant I am really looking forward to No man´s sky! This could be the perfect game for your channel. Nice work by the way ;)

[@vanishing-point]

+HerbieCN I agree.

[@Walsh2571]

+HerbieCN photorealism was nice in Battlefront though

[@Balc0ra]

Just bought it via the Windows store. Was blow away on how good that game was. This is when I don't mind "walking simulators" when it's done well.

[@Balc0ra]

depends on how you look at it. Most saw it as a game that you simply get to know your character. As in a fact finding game about him. Not really a "mystery" game ending as such.

Aw man, 7 years ago. Thanks for the video

[@catchgi]

This is just.. beautiful. I love this game, as I love life is strange. This was my favorite videogame as I was in middle school: I felt really lonely, very different from my classmates, they acted like I wasn't there. I wanted to became a park guard like the protagonist, to escape from the city and my peers. Live surrounded by nature, work surrounded by nature. Feel only it, nothing else

[@TheBuzzhardsGaming]

Was just utterly blown away by this game. Spent a considerable amount of time just taking in the atmosphere and aesthetics.

+ultrabrilliant I'm super glad you're still going strong! I remember watching your first videos a couple years ago, and back in September joining the US military when I was leaving, I watched a couple of your videos to calm my nerves. Now that I'm able to watch your videos again it brings me back to the times when things were simpler. I'm really happy to see you slowly grow and keep pushing yourself to make amazing content!

[@otherplaces]

+Slickllama That's an awesome comment, thanks! Glad you enjoy the series.

It's interesting how the game can achieve this realistic and detailed enviroment with this type of textures and graphical features. It's like Team Fortress 2 without the mercs.

[@otherplaces]

+Szilágyi Szabolcs Someone described it to me as "a place where the Team Fortress 2 characters would go to relax".

[@kalleanka2796]

+Szilágyi Szabolcs Well it looks amazing and detailed, but I wouldn´t say it looks realistic.

[@PcGameGold]

+ultrabrilliant It reminds me of Life is strange as well

[@mrraimundo130]

ultrabrilliant Now that's an excellent metaphor!

[@mrraimundo130]

Kalle Anka I wrote that because you can see every leafs on the trees, tiny floating particles and bugs, mist, light shafts, embers etc, it has a lot deail and with this kind of graphics it creates a unique and some kind of beliveable, realistic world.

[@Strikerdoodle]

Love what you're doing, keep it up and all the best!

[@natefloob7884]

Man I wish this game was longer, hopefully they make a sequel.

[@ISw4yI]

This is art... Amazing videos all the time and second of all the choice of music is always awesome!

[@otherplaces]

+ISw4yI Thanks! I was spoiled for choice with this soundtrack. Chris Remo has become one of my favourite game composers.

[@FranciscoLaprea]

These videos are inspiring me to get better at my art, thanks for that and keep the good work!

[@TheNovemb3rMan]

Just finished this game myself. Beautiful environment and perfect for your channel

[@moalisiddiqui]

Great work as usual! I'm really digging the Pixar like look in the game.

[@damianvila]

Wonderful! What a beautiful game. This video is really great. 😊

[@GrahamScott155]

[@Fellwinter]

Amazing movie. Beautiful game to even if the last arc is not as good as the beginning and middle.

[@angelnobody7137]

Дизайн всегда был важнее голых технологий ("графона"), ибо душа!

[@djbritton]
