We Were Here Forever Reviews
Gaz and I have known each other for decades and have played a lot of puzzlers together over the years, but we both agreed that We Were Here Forever stood out as one of our most enjoyable experiences. The creepy fantasy theme is delivered in a great visual style and hammered home by some phenomenal voice acting, and each cut-scene dragged us deeper into the lore and kept us invested in what we were doing. The puzzles are well designed (for the most part) and require enough thought to be challenging without causing frustration that disconnects you from the game. Yes, some voice chat problems and a couple of broken puzzles did cause annoyance, but that wasn’t enough to turn us off from a fantastic experience – We Were Here Forever is an absolute must for puzzle and escape room fans alike.
We Were Here Forever is the most ambitious and most successful title in the co-op puzzle series, capable of delivering a one-of-a-kind cooperative experience thanks to a long series of puzzles perfectly integrated within the story. Too bad about the absence of the Buddy Pass, which would have allowed two friends to play together without having to buy the game twice.

We Were Here Forever offers another gripping co-op puzzle adventure that is more varied, clever, and prettier than the releases that came before it. The vast majority of the puzzling feels rewarding to solve thanks to the unique variety of enigmas on offer, whilst the need for proper communication is more important than ever before. When you do finally put the pieces together of a puzzle with your partner though? It’s super rewarding. There were some puzzles that were bit annoying, whilst some areas of the game felt a little bit drawn out thanks to the longer length. Thankfully, these issues don’t stop We Were Here Forever from being a ton of fun to play, with the series going from strength to strength with each subsequent release.
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 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.
