Discussion Are there any games that have legitimately affected you like firewatch?

I can’t really think of anything aside from red dead 2 that gave me new perspectives on my own life from a piece of media.

Are there any games like firewatch, that legitimately gave you that feeling? I had considered giving Edith finch a go, but I think the story of a guy escaping his life really hit me in firewatch and I’d love to play anything similar.

Play with the VR mod if at all possible

Eh I would say to play it in VR after you've played it normally. The VR mod is cool and all but olaying the game as the developers intended is always the superior way to play on your first playthrough

Hard disagree. Discovering those areas for the first time in VR was the most incredible experience I've ever had in gaming

Agree to disagree then I suppose. I enjoy VR on occasion but its just not my preferred way to play. Im glad your experience was so effective even in VR
