The forest is her home, and the escapism such a career brings is something she actively relishes in. She’s sharp, flirty, unpredictable, and has been in this line of work for several years. Portrayed by the wonderful Cissy Jones, Delilah is the polar opposite of Henry. Here comes Delilah, the start of a fire that brings this once reticent watch to life. As Firewatch arrives on Xbox Game Pass, this story has found a new lease of life. There is no wrong or right way to deal with grief, even if the person you mourn is still very much alive. We resent Henry for his immediate actions as he runs away, but come to love and understand him, sympathising with his plight and how perhaps we’d do the same in his shoes. This game isn’t afraid to explore the regret and trauma of losing someone you love as Henry’s wife succumbs to dementia, the girl he married becoming a shadow of her former self while retreating to a family who views her husband as an outcast, unable to take care of her and failing to understand the situation’s true gravity.

It turns out life is far more complicated. Henry’s predicament is achingly true to life, a man who finds himself faced with a tragic situation where he can either stay with the ones he loves or run away from his responsibilities, hoping they’ll fade away into memory never to trouble him again. Campo Santo warms your heart, caresses it, then tears it from your chest without hesitation. It encapsulates a palette of emotions in a matter of minutes that few games manage to achieve in their entirety.
