We Were Here (2017)

We Were Here is a series of cooperative first-person puzzle games that began with this titular entry in 2017. There are currently five games in the series but only the first is free so it's a good place to start. Two players are required so grab a friend or foe.

You play as Antarctic explorers that become separated and stranded in a seemingly abandoned castle. By using your walkie-talkies (or Discord) to communicate with your partner, you'll work together to solve puzzles, avoid traps, and delve further into the fort in an effort to reunite and find a way out.

A single playthrough will last about 1-2 hours. The puzzles were enjoyable though some felt more frustrating than others. Considering this is a free experience, I didn't mind the lack of polish.

I would recommend this game to those looking for a mildly spooky cooperative experience that definitely requires teamwork and communication.

I was wondering if there's more games like "keep talking and nobody explodes" and this is kinda it.

Sometimes we had weird bugs and had to restart some bits.
The stage 4 of final puzzle had a solution we don't agree with (where the "king killed everyone" but you still need to have everyone on stage, wtf)

Despite that, still an enjoyable short co-op game, looking forward to play the sequels and see how it got better.
Oh, and the walkie-talkie system is a nice experient. Not being able to talk at the same time is... interesting.

Peguei o jogo de graça pelo Playstation, achei interessante, mas não há muito que falar.

Joguei ele com um amigo, pela primeira vez, fiz o papel de explorador, e na segunda jogada, como bibliotecário. Há uma premissa muito boa, porém um pouco tediosa, considerando que para platinar (eu não levei nem 3 horas para platinar, e olha que eu não vi guia nenhum para entender a lógica dos puzzles) tive que passar por alguns quebra-cabeças que até uma criança de 7 anos passaria... É divertido para passar o tempo.

I found this game on a list of the best co op games and I will say that I really enjoyed playing this. The game takes about 2 hours to complete and for its $0 price tag I'd definitely recommend playing it. The puzzles are fairly challenging, but each of them has a time limit before the both of you die so some people who go through puzzles and games in general slower may not enjoy that. However, I found the time limit to be ample enough for us.

Each of you take a different role in the game - either the explorer (who performs most of the puzzles) or the librarian (who guides the explorer through the puzzles - and as such there's replayability since you can play it again while playing as the other role.
