We Were Here Forever Reviews
We Were Here Forever is a title that stands out on its own. I for one was in awe of what this game has to offer, from its strange story to the various challenges the game throws at you. Fully encouraging players to communicate clearly and really define the term “teamwork”. Nothing can be achieved alone in this game.
We Were Here Forever is a phenomenal experience that you and an online friend will thoroughly enjoy, especially if you're into escape rooms. Its puzzles are elaborate, challenging, and, most of all, superbly rewarding even when they're a bit frustrating.
We Were Here Forever does exactly what its previous three predecessors have done: immerse you in complex puzzles and lots of communication. Together with someone else you have to unravel the secrets of Castle Rock. We Were Here Forever looks better and this time crossplay is also possible. The puzzles are challenging again and working together has never been more fun and frustrating at the same time. Some hiccups here and there and a somewhat negligible story. Still, you will mainly play We Were Here Forever for the challenge.

We Were Here Forever certainly grew on us the more we played, with some great brain-teasing puzzles that really make the most of the split player perspectives (though we did give up on the walkie-talkies).
We Were Here Forever is a step back from the rest of the series. It's hard to find the motivation to keep playing when you're completing the same puzzle three, sometimes four times. Quantity doesn't mean quality, and when you're in control of a unique genre like coop puzzlers you don't want to step on the quality of what made this series great. Plus, the lack of a compelling story is disappointing when it's the only thing that's meant to encourage you to keep playing.
