    The We Were Here series is in a class of its own, and Forever is the best entry yet. Grab a buddy and get ready to test both your brains over about 15 hours of gameplay that constantly impresses and brings new things to the table.

    Despite a complete lack of competition, Total Mayhem Games delivers a successful and satisfying sequel to the We Were Here series. It's worth a try for all fans of the genre, no matter how alien the idea of an online co-op adventure game may seem to them.

    If you've got a like minded friend who loves puzzles and escape rooms as much as you do, We Were Here Forever is a very special game with a 12 hour co-op campaign full of some of the most clever puzzles around.

    We Were Here Forever gives no quarter in its cooperative puzzling, fully trusting players to get on with it and work together. At its peak, the wondrous structure of this game is simply sublime, and perhaps the most invested I’ve felt in a co-op game since Portal 2. It doesn’t always hit those highs, and matchmaking was personally hit and miss, but We Were Here Forever generally dazzles.

    A good game that suffers from a few balancing issues in places and some frustration bugs. Nonetheless, still a solid and fun co-op experience.

    We Were Here Forever has some good ideas but stumbles into unbalanced puzzles that leave one player standing around and sounding like Darth Vader in their walkie-talkie.

You will find yourself lost in the stories and beautiful artwork, then find yourself lost in a complex beautiful puzzle communicating with friend. Then the satisfaction of finishing the puzzle, while admiring the great animation and surroundings around you. This addition was the first to be more story forward, throwing you in the middle of various cut scenes as a mere fly on the wall, yet sometimes being used as a piece of the story. While playing this game, I felt fully submerged inside the game. It gives you time to reflect on the story and you truly get the sense that you are apart of it, and what you are doing matters in the story.

    This has been one of my favorite series and my favorite game of this series. Highly recommend.

It will have you head scratching and may be even have you yelling at each other from time to time. But in the end the puzzle are so well designed, that when you hear the puzzle complete sound it feels like a great accomplishment.

    I was very much impressed by the visuals, gameplay and especially the music! I will give it a 10 when the devs have made some performance improvements. But don't wait for this to happen, because it is already a great game to play!!

    I haven't had this much fun with a co-op game in a really long time. The music is mostly minimal but still enjoyable. The sound design isI haven't had this much fun with a co-op game in a really long time. The music is mostly minimal but still enjoyable. The sound design is terrific. The puzzles are wildly inventive and clever, and my partner and I never got bored trying to untangle the current puzzle together. I just...absolutely love everything this game is doing. It's such a nice change of pace to have a co-op puzzle game.

    I will dock one point for a few things: there was one awful puzzle that gave us wrong information (it's the seated dolls one) and was nearly impossible to solve, and a few bugs where one of the puzzles glitched out or our character models glitched out of bounds and we had to restart the game.

    Bugs aside, this is a helluva good time. Highly recommend.

Such a shame, there were good parts but the ending was just a miserable titanic meme, a disgrace. Expand
