I actually appreciated the anticlimax.

I feel like Night in the Woods did it better, and I had just played through that a little bit before Firewatch, so maybe that kinda spoiled me on that kind of ending.

Y'know what my favorite little part of Firewatch was, that every time you leave the watchtower, you put your hand up on the ceiling/floor on the stairs and duck down so you don't whang your head on it. It was like saying bye to a friend or something with that one little animation they didn't have to add in. I never replayed with director's commentary, I wonder if they mention that. That plus the fact that yours is the only human face you see in the whole game. Really added to the feeling of isolation.

To add some more to the topic

Giant Slaughterfish lair in Oblivion. Swim down this random water-filled crack in the floor of a cave and aaaaallll the way down to a tiny little hole that opens up to a really claustrophobic underwater cavern with this big ass toothy fish getting all in your face ARGH. Underwater bleh!
