Hmm... it depends on what exactly you liked about Firewatch. I personally classify Firewatch as a game with great production quality and no pressure so I can take my time. It's the kind of game I can relax/unwind to. The titles below were exceptional in this regard - you can't go wrong with any of them IMO.

Life is Strange

The Stanley Parable

Subnautica

Portal

Astroneer

Life is Strange season 1 is one of my favorite games. And the soundtrack is excellent.

Exactly that, plus immersiveness.
