Looking for games other than ones focusing mainly on cool fights and action sequences led me to one of the most beautiful looking game with an experience that lingers long after it is over.
Some students, 16-18 year olds, really engaged with it while others didn't quite have the maturity to accept some of the messages the game presented and were thus indifferent to it. I've taught this as a media text in a senior level high school English class before with mixed results. Worth a play for adults and perhaps older teens as well. I found it refreshing to experience a game brave enough to address such topics as loneliness, infidelity, trust, and resilience in a way that feels very grown-up. Aside from some swearing (f***, s***, etc.) it is this depiction of imperfect adults dealing with adult problems that makes the game unsuitable for younger players. The two central characters in Firewatch are neither all good nor all bad but are just as likely to behave selfishly as they are altruistically. It's an interactive story adventure that deals quite brazenly with the shades of grey that adulthood is known for. GTA 5 also received a barrage of negative reviews when developer Take-Two removed modding tool OpenIV.Įurogamer has contacted Campo Santo for comment.There is a lot to love about Firewatch from its simple gameplay and clear structure to its superb voice acting and lush visuals. Football Manager 2017 was Steam-bombed when it didn't include an official Chinese translation. This isn't the first instance of fans trashing a game on Steam, irrespective of its gameplay. Other comments include calling Sean Vanaman a "butthurt SJW crybaby looking to be offended", referring to the developers as "childish" and saying Vanaman should kill himself. One Steam user said, "Game is short, linear, and although can be enjoyable experience, the ending is lacking and unsatisfying, and the developers abuse DMCA laws to penalise let's players they dislike for personal reasons." Another user said "I don't support the abuse of copyright law to censor things". You can see in the graph below (via SteamSpy) the negative reviews increase drastically after the date of Vanaman's tweet. The majority of recent 'not recommended' comments refer to the PewDiePie incident. Pewdiepie's Firewatch Let's Play is no longer available to view on YouTube and the popular streamer has since apologised - but his supporters aren't happy with Campo Santo, as is evident from Firewatch's Steam page.įirewatch has an 84 per cent overall positivity score on Steam but in the last 30 days only 45 per cent of reviews have been positive.
This was the final straw for Firewatch developer Sean Vanaman, co-founder of Campo Santo, who denounced PewDiePie on Twitter and stated Campo Santo would file a DMCA takedown of PewDiePie's Firewatch content. He said: "What a f***ing n*****! Geez! Oh my god! What the f***? Sorry, but what the f***?" Last week Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg, owner of the most subscribed-to channel on YouTube, came under fire for using the N-word on during a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds stream.
Indie adventure Firewatch is being review-bombed on Steam after the game's developer, Campo Santo, filed a DMCA against YouTuber PewDiePie.
