story52 positive mentions
optimization24 negative mentions
  • Realistic and visually impressive fire and smoke simulation that enhances immersion.
  • Engaging and varied missions with a mix of firefighting tactics and rescue operations.
  • Multiplayer co-op mode offers enjoyable teamwork and is more satisfying than playing with AI.
  • AI teammates often behave poorly, ignoring commands, getting stuck, or mismanaging fires, making solo play frustrating.
  • Performance and optimization issues, including crashes and frame rate drops, especially on lower-end PCs.
  • Limited interactivity outside missions such as in the fire station, lack of diverse emergency types beyond fires, and repetitive mission structures.

  • story

    399 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    13% positive mentions, 82% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    The game offers a solid firefighting simulation with a range of missions that deliver an engaging and sometimes intense experience, supported by realistic fire and smoke dynamics. However, the story mode can feel repetitive and mission variety is limited mostly to fire scenarios, with a lack of deeper narrative or meaningful progression, and mission pacing can be hampered by often-frustrating AI behavior and bugs. While the mission editor and mod support extend replayability, the single-player story lacks depth and is marred by technical issues that impede immersion and challenge.

    • “The story is amazing, honestly one of the best stories I've seen in a simulator to date; the game itself could have you playing for hours and hours.”
    • “Every mission brings new challenges, from high-rise fires to forest blazes, keeping the gameplay engaging and varied.”
    • “The missions are varied, the environments are detailed, and the sense of urgency when you’re racing against time is spot on. Every mission keeps you on your toes, and when you succeed, it’s incredibly satisfying.”
    • “The AI teammates do not listen to you half the time after the first few missions, and the missions sometimes don't complete. Don't buy this scam of a game.”
    • “The AI is absolutely useless and will charge straight to a second story window and then cry that they're trapped because they jumped into a flaming room.”
    • “The AI firefighters are god-awful dumb and you're not going to be able to finish some missions solo.”

  • gameplay

    167 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    39% positive mentions, 56% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    Gameplay in Firefighting Simulator: Ignite offers a solid blend of realism and accessible mechanics, with engaging fire dynamics, diverse missions, and satisfying use of tools and vehicles. However, issues like inconsistent AI, limited command options, repetitive scenarios, and performance optimization problems hinder the experience. Despite these flaws, the gameplay loop is generally fun, especially in co-op, and shows strong potential with future improvements and added content.

    • “The gameplay has a surprising amount of depth, and you actually get to make proper use of the different tools, vehicles and knowledge you pick up throughout the game.”
    • “The firefighting gameplay is incredibly enjoyable, with a wide variety of calls, tasks, and situations that keep the experience engaging and rewarding.”
    • “The gameplay combines strategy, timing, and real-time action. Every mission brings new challenges, from high-rise fires to forest blazes, keeping the gameplay engaging and varied. Mastery comes from learning the mechanics of fire behavior, water pressure, and team coordination.”
    • “The game is balanced like a board game, and it’s a drag: all the tools are heavily scripted and serve only one specific purpose—there’s no emergent gameplay.”
    • “Extinguishing fires can quickly turn into a 'painting your screen simulator.' There’s too little visual and audio feedback to tell if you’re actually putting out the flames you’re spraying.”
    • “The massive AI problems make anything other than 4-player multiplayer a nightmare; the finickiness of controls means you sometimes have to try multiple times to pick up items or interact with parts, or it will do something else instead. Focus on graphics over gameplay is strong, with forced sharpening destroying the visuals, likely to compensate for upscaling without actual optimization.”

  • graphics

    120 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    39% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are generally praised for realistic fire effects, detailed vehicles, and immersive visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, creating a strong atmosphere. However, many users report significant performance issues, stuttering, and graphical bugs, especially on lower-end systems, with optimization needing improvement. While visually impressive, these technical drawbacks and occasional lack of originality dampen the overall experience for some players.

    • “The graphics of the fire look very real as you can clearly see the temperature differences as well as the source of the fire vs the top of the fire.”
    • “The fire physics, smoke, and visuals are seriously impressive thanks to Unreal Engine 5, making every mission feel intense and unpredictable.”
    • “The graphics are detailed and immersive, capturing the intensity of fire and smoke realistically.”
    • “It's sad and tiresome to see this kind of stagnation these days — as if developers just want to tick the "graphics" box as quickly as possible without making any attempt at originality.”
    • “Don't do the park scenarios if you don't want your graphics card to scream and go into single-digit framerates (9700xt). Also, there's a forced 80% sharpening that needs hacks to turn down/off, which just destroys the visuals, probably to compensate for using upscaling out of the box since they've tried to fix poor framerates without any optimization.”
    • “Graphic issues out the ass with blurry textures appearing on the trucks constantly. This was clearly not meant for PC release based on what I've seen and experienced; the game was more or less a console release.”

  • optimization

    87 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    15% positive mentions, 57% neutral mentions, 28% negative mentions

    Optimization in this game is widely criticized for poor performance, with frequent stuttering, low frame rates even on high-end PCs, and significant lag issues, making it difficult for many players to run smoothly. Despite some recent improvements, the game still demands heavy resources and suffers from inefficient optimization typical of early Unreal Engine 5 titles, impacting overall enjoyment. Many reviewers hope for further patches to address these issues and enhance performance stability.

    • “Very fun and immersive firefighter simulator, albeit it is in dire need of fixes and optimizations.”
    • “The optimization is one of the bigger issues with this game but unfortunately I do understand that using UE5 comes at a cost as expected. I hope the developers try their best to make this game run more smoothly in the future.”
    • “The gameplay is fun, my only issue (and the reason I have refunded) is the optimization.”
    • “Half of the player base is unable to run this poorly optimized game.”
    • “I have a 4070ti, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 64GB of RAM, put the graphic settings at minimum and was still stuttering.”
    • “[b]A mechanically interesting game murdered by weird design choices, backbreaking bugs and very poor optimization (even for a UE5 title).[/b]”

  • stability

    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    4% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 96% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent bugs, crashes, and significant AI issues, with AI teammates often behaving erratically or becoming unresponsive, which hampers gameplay and immersion. Performance problems like lag and freezes are common, especially in multiplayer, although the core firefighting mechanics remain enjoyable when the game runs smoothly. Overall, the game feels unpolished and unstable, requiring substantial fixes to improve reliability and AI functionality.

    • “But the game looks half decent, when it runs great it is great.”
    • “This definitely needs some polish, but it runs great.”
    • “Good idea but the game is basically impossible to play: super buggy and laggy.”
    • “Terrible AI (both fellow firefighters and conscious victims) and game-breaking glitches, even when playing with friends.”
    • “Really bad glitches all the time: AI firefighters may as well not be in game, they stand putting out invisible fires, missions fail to end, and some of the trucks stop working mid-mission.”

  • replayability

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    12% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    Replayability is generally enhanced by randomization, multiplayer, mod support, and custom scenario creation, offering varied and open-ended experiences. However, some users find randomization repetitive or poorly implemented, with limited appeal after completing all content. Overall, community-created content and ongoing updates significantly extend the game's long-term replay value.

    • “Progression and replayability are supported through increasingly demanding scenarios and community-created content.”
    • “The random nature of the call outs has breathed replayability life into a game that threatened to be stagnated by choosing which call to go to previously.”
    • “The ability to create and share scenarios gives the game nearly endless possibilities and ensures strong long-term replay value.”
    • “I assume randomization is meant to boost replayability, but it ends up becoming an annoying routine: you replay the same level over and over just to locate the circuit breakers, valves, or victims.”
    • “Replayability is terrible and now we have to pay extra for everything.”
    • “There is little to no replayability to this game and the only way to beat a level in under 30 minutes is with friends in multiplayer.”

  • atmosphere

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The atmosphere in the game is generally praised for its immersive visuals, strong fire effects, and tense, scenario-driven gameplay that effectively evoke a realistic and captivating environment. However, some critiques highlight that the fire station feels empty and underdeveloped, with alarms and ambient sounds not fully enhancing the central hub’s atmosphere. Overall, the atmospheric elements contribute significantly to the experience, though there is room for improvement in environmental detail and sound design.

    • “The sights, sounds, routines, and atmosphere brought back memories I haven't visited in years.”
    • “Atmospheric, scenario-driven gameplay with tension.”
    • “Visually, the fire effects while in a structure are well done and very atmospheric.”
    • “The most this piece of crap has going for it is the UE5 graphics, but take that away and you have a very bare slate with nothing to offer. Atmosphere is dead and the fire station feels less like a central hub and more like a derelict building.”
    • “I’d also love to see improvements to the fire station atmosphere. The alarms and sirens don’t quite hit the mark yet, and the station itself is huge but feels a bit empty.”

  • grinding

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 55% negative mentions

    Grinding in this game is widely regarded as tedious and time-consuming, with repetitive quick-time events and slow movement making routine tasks frustrating. Poor AI and cumbersome mechanics further exacerbate the monotony, leading players to rush through or find shortcuts to avoid the grind.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Most interactions (connecting a hose, forcing a door, smashing a wall...) are tedious quick time events with no real substance.”
    • “It's fun for the first playthrough when you explore a bit, but after that, it's in the way: as soon as you spawn, you just rush to the mission room; it's tedious.”

  • humor

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is widely praised for its clever and realistic comedic moments, such as quirky AI behaviors and amusing mechanics like the "backdraft" feature. Players enjoy sharing laughs with friends, appreciating both the funny interactions and lighthearted details like having a dog at the station. Overall, the humor adds a charming and enjoyable layer to the gameplay experience.

    • “It's funny because, if you tell the AI to extinguish a hot spot, you can actually see how little water it takes to put something out because they'll spray it for a fraction of a second robotically then walk away, meanwhile, it still looks like it's burning up like crazy.”
    • “It’s polished, flexible, and hilarious when shared with friends.”
    • “Overall, in my opinion, I like this a lot and it is very funny that you have a dog at the station and you can explore the station.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some users finding it relaxing and epic, while others criticize the limited variety, noting only one track that loops repeatedly. Overall, the soundtrack complements the gameplay but may feel repetitive to some players.

    • “Very in-depth game mechanics as well as an epic soundtrack.”
    • “Put on some music and relax fighting fires.”
    • “Great game to listen to music and do... just like pressure washing sim but with stakes.”
    • “After I closed the game, the menu music kept playing for about 2 minutes.”
    • “Why does this $37 game only have one music track that plays on a loop???”
    • “The music is okay.”

  • monetization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The monetization of the game is heavily criticized for feeling like a cash grab, with essential content locked behind paid DLC and an overreliance on microtransactions despite the game's already high price.

    • “It's so sad that games like these can come out without any testing - it feels like a cash grab.”
    • “Instead of working to make this the best firefighting simulator in the market, the devs have completely turned it into a cash grab releasing everything that should be in the base game as DLC, and making you pay to be able to play the already high priced game.”
    • “AI infested cash grab.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users found the game lacking emotional impact, with some expressing strong disinterest or indifference toward its emotional engagement.
