Firewatch (PS4)

An overall decent walking simulator as you play as the main character Henry, who after some depressing events in his life, takes a job to take the controls of a watchtower in the middle of nowhere to get away from it all. His only companion is a radio, where his superior Delilah gives him orders or just converses with him on occasion. The dialogue between the two is the main highlight as the conversations can get really interesting, and it isn't the story because while it builds up well it eventually falls flat on its face and made me hate the overall storyline. Still glad I played it for all the dialogue, and I do wonder how long it took to record all the alternate voice lines between the two characters - all dialogue is voiced, and even though the game is only four hours at most there's still a lot!

The Midnight Sanctuary (PS4)

Now this is a weird one - it's a visual novel set in a secluded Christian village in Japan, the game stars Hamomoru Tachibana, a guest tasked with trying to modernize the village and integrate it with the rest of the world, as Christians in Japan shortly before the time period the game takes place in, were persecuted due to the influence of the Tokugawa shogunate. However, the appearance of another guest dubbed the Saint has changed the faith of the people in the village, and soon Hamomoru learns the real truth of the village. It definitely has a good hook and going any further would spoil a lot - though I was disappointed overall with the game itself - never really got invested in any of the characters and the game ended abruptly due to its short length.

In short, I wouldn't recommend playing either of these games. Hopefully the next game I play will be more enjoyable!
