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.
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.
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.

It's difficult, but it's a fun game with someone you know — especially if you cheat a little, then it's not that hard at all. It's a good continuation of the We Were Here series.

De todos os jogos da franquia, este é o mais longo, complexo e completo. A ideia é exatamente a mesma, explorar o castelo do rei amaldiçoado à procura de seus amigos e da saída. Dessa vez, iniciamos em celas de prisão e percorremos distâncias bem maiores, aumentando muito a variedade dos ambientes e, consequentemente, a variedade dos puzzles.A história do jogo mantém o ar lovecraftiano, mas revela um pouco mais sobre a origem do bobo da corte e do rei, expandindo o que se sabia e entregando uma espécie de fechamento para a narrativa.A gameplay continua nos mesmos moldes, mas os puzzles ficaram mais sofisticados e se aproveitaram bastante dos novos ambientes. Existem quebra-cabeças de todas as formas, envolvendo comunicação à distância, interação direta, puzzles em que os dois jogadores ocupam o mesmo ambiente, puzzles que utilizam o som e até puzzles com limite de **** maneira geral, vejo We Were Here Forever como a experiência definitiva da franquia e um excelente jogo cooperativo. Fica clara a evolução a cada jogo quanto à apresentação, elaboração e complexidade dos puzzles e à robustez do jogo.

an interesting co-op puzzle adventure that, to my surprise, was kind of long to beat, and not because I'm not so smart (at least I think so), but because this game has a lot of different puzzles that require cooperation with your friend. But let's dive a bit deeper into this game and review it as usual using different aspects as key points. First of all, the graphical part is presented as low poly, and maybe it is not the most technical one, but it can be eye-pleasing in a lot of cases. The sound part is good, especially the voice actor doing their job; the music is also on an acceptable level. As for gameplay, as I said, it is a puzzle game, so you need to move, rotate, and toggle a lot of different things in order to solve puzzles, and the main role in this plays your communication (in the sense that all puzzles are divided into two parts that can be seen only by one of the players at the same time). The last part is a plot, and to my mind, it is good that it is present. Don't hear me wrong; I'm not saying that the plot is bad, but I say that it is presented on that level that all puzzles that you solve can be reasonable and have some kind of main target to save the world (I guess). As a conclusion, I recommend this game for someone who has a friend (obviously because you can play it solo) and for someone who loves puzzle games.

Hey Poor Player
I really enjoyed my time with We Were Here Forever. Sure, I played it during finals at school and after long, long days at work, so my brain frequently was already overworked, and sure, I had to laugh at myself very, very frequently for overlooking obvious things and overthinking puzzles. But there’s something to be said for the sense of accomplishment for figuring out some genuinely wild puzzles. We Were Here Forever is one long, brilliantly designed escape room puzzle that requires constant communication between players, making for a truly unique experience that will be hard to replicate. I definitely recommend grabbing a good friend and diving in. You won’t regret it.

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 is a good brain workout that will give you more hours of puzzle fun than all previous We Were Here games combined. The puzzles are pleasantly challenging and the flow is good for most of the game. However, due to the slightly too high degree of repetition and long-windedness, you are too often dragged out of that flow, so that the game can certainly be a bridge too far for newcomers. Get it if you're familiar with the genre, but rather play the earlier games if you've never tried a digital escape room like this before.

We Were Here Forever is a crazy co-op game that every lover of the genre might adore. However, the game suffers from some imbalances…

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.

The 4th addition to this wonderful series. 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.

This game had the potential but most of the puzzles were just time consuming brainless trying of all possibilities. Such a shame, there were good parts but the ending was just a miserable titanic meme, a disgrace.
