Weltenbauer should be commended for creating such an immersive and exciting experience, one that respects the profession it simulates while delivering tense, rewarding gameplay. With additional DLC planned for later this year — promising new missions, vehicles, and gear — there’s plenty to look forward to for those ready to don their virtual firefighting gear and answer the call.

While it’s not quite making a childhood dream a reality, Firefighting Simulator: Ignite is the next best thing. Featuring in-depth gameplay and plenty of variety, it winds up being a great time either solo or with a squad of friends. Fans of the genre will find plenty to like here and it’s the best firefighting game on the market.

Firefighting Simulator: Ignite is one of the better simulators on console, and perhaps the best of the firefighting variety. It’s a sim on console, so you know it comes with some bugs, but if you’re into the emergency services subgenre of sims, it’s a no brainer.
