We Were Here Too

All in all it's a great game BUT:
tl;dr: While it's really a fun game for two it's also way too expensive for what it is: an even worse working version of "We were here 1". Get it only if it's on a sale and you liked the first game.

Here's why, even though the first point is much more important and led to me not recommending it in the first place:
- Way too many bugs, clunky controls, performance & audio issues, crashing servers took most of our "playtime". Sometimes even the game itself crashed for no reason
- The puzzles, though still fun and enjoyable most of the time are taking way too long while being repetitive. So often towards their end they begin to feel like tedious work. Also the new and creative ideas of the first game have been kind of only reused and recycled.

overcomplicated. you have to work at NASA to be able to complete this game. took the fun out of it for that exact reason

Good escape room coop game, with some challenging puzzles. I really disliked the last one though, that forces you to have activated multiple switches from earlier rooms. The checkpoint system is a bit broken. The game is also really short, so only get it on sale. 7/10

Has one of the most frustrating puzzles in the series. Would recommend.

I had a fun time working through this asymmetric puzzle adventure with a friend. It felt like a good improvement on the first game in the series and I'm excited to see how the subsequent titles evolve from here. I will note that we experienced a couple of technical hiccups such as a gamepad controller being plugged in causing the game to hard crash, and at one point our save state reverted to unplayed. Both were easily remedied with a little bit of reading but just beware of that.

Best Indie game of 2017 and it is well deserved!

This series is innovative and they were very smart to offer the first game for free because once you played the 1st instalment, they had you hook, line and sinker!

The graphics are simple but decent enough to look at but the atmosphere and mystery surrounding their gameplay is above par. It is a great puzzle game that isn't too difficult but not too easy and it really tests your bond and patience, whether it is a friend or your SO. If you are looking for a free game to play and something new, try out We Were Here and continue your journey in We Were Here Too,this is a must pick!

Convince someone to join you as you both figure out an escape from this place and whether you both escape or not, all comes down to you!

Horrible optimization. My PC is good enough for modern games, but this game overheats my PC and sometimes crashes. Also, it lags on weaker PCs.

we can say it is good game , but i experienced a lot of bugs and glitches that ruined day :/

Pretty fun, not bad. Definitely an improvement over the previous We Were Here. I enjoyed it. I would recommend skipping the first one, and starting with this one.

Puzzles themselves are not that hard, because they made an emphasis on communication between players, that's the main challenge (How do I communicate these squiggles, shapes, swords?... etc). That's pretty fun in itself.

No bugs this time :)

Me and my bf played the first We Were Here and are trying to get through all the games. However, this one is unplayable and Im worried that the rest will be as well. Crashes at the very first puzzle and will not let us progress or save our checkpoint even though the checkpoint is "found". They were cheap so Im not too upset, but it still sucks to waste my money on unplayable games.

Great multiplayer game! I really like the length. It's enough to complete in sitting if desired, but not so short to be underwhelming. Puzzles were more difficult than the first one (in my opinion). Not a bad thing though! Just a heads up that if you struggle with the first one, this may be a tad trickier!

the checkpoint system is practically nonexistent, and we’ve lost progress multiple times because of random bugs.

This took us 30 minutes to make a lobby. Afterwards, we crashed every few minutes. Every time we crashed, it kicked the other person in my party out instead of holding the lobby to rejoin and reset our progress to the nearest checkpoint while also resetting all the puzzles.
After we crashed for the 4th time in the same area, we gave up for the night. It crashed 11 times in the first 4 areas before we gave up. We spent more time setting up a lobby than playing the actual game.
If you want to play a set up a lobby for two people simulator, then this game would be the perfect experience for you!

dont buy this game if your friend begs you and promises to play with you. Trust me he wont and it will have been a waste of money. Im talking to you Gio.

After greatly enjoying the first game, Partner and I practically SPRINTED to get this one as well.
All the puzzles were real fun for us both and also incredibly fair, which is really hard to pull off in games like these. We had to do a lot of thinking for some of the perspective puzzles, so many brain-cells have died in the attempts to do it all in one go. Some puzzles (curse that maze) were pure muscle memory, but that's okay, we got there in the end.

We both loved playing both sides and then going back for some achievements that we missed along the way.

We were BIG fans of the levers that you can escape together, absolutely loved that option, even if finding all the levers was so goddamn hard because we kept forgetting one.

Overall great game even if we got stuck in some levels for an embarrassing amount of time, mostly due to our own stupidity or lacking explanation skills for certain aspects.
Absolutely fantastic game to ruin your relationship over (joking, but we did end up arguing about a few parts but we also played through the night and tiredness was probably a factor).

Was really fun and a really enjoyable and relaxi- THE LEVERS! DON'T FORGET THE LEVERS, OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE MET WITH GREAT REGRET! Anyway. All the puzzles are fairly fun and somewhat easy to understand, had to do a lot of perspective swapping so that we could understand the other side, but I'm sure it could be done without doing any swapping tomfoolery. Was really fun playing it through both sides either way, would recommend going through it as the different perspectives to see what the other saw they went through it. Which you're going to have to do if you want to get all of the achievements anyway.

Was a good time all the way through, except when we didn't get through levels after an embarrassingly long amount of time. Other than that, was really a good experience to play with someone. Would recommend for any friend that you want to play with/ruin your friendship with them.

the game itself is great with the right friend (a friend with brain) because it have a hard/challenging puzzles.

but i will not recommend this game because of the broken checkpoint/save system, we have to do the puzzles all over again from the start once we leave,
if you have time to do it in a single sit ( if you have 300 IQ ) than go for it.

Puzzles are a bit tougher the first time through than the first game, and it's a bit longer. Still a fun format, but definitely play with a friend who's willing to put up with a little bullshit.

God I love this game!! I would replay it if I could only find time in the schedule and more puzzling friends but I have craved more of it ever since playing it the first time and fully plan to enjoy every sequel and prequel I havent already enjoyed even years after playing this one (and its predecessor).
Great bonding experience and great atmospheric spook (but also Im easily spooked so maybe thats just me)

The puzzles were great besides the fact we couldn't solve them

Lots of fun! Tip: turn up brightness on computer AND on game.

İlk oyuna göre kaliteyi düşürmüş. Zorlaştırmak adına eklendiğini düşündüğüm son kısımda ki şalter sistemini görünce kapattım çünkü zaman kaybından başka bir durum değil.

We Were Here Too is a short but sweet coop experience. It also shows significant improvement in quality and polish from the previous entry which is a trend that I hope continues to the next.

If you like co-op puzzle games, you'll like this. If you liked "We were here", you'll like this. If either question is true, then get them all. They are worth playing.

Like first game, it is a great game to enjoy with a friend. Puzzle designs are fantastic. Watching someone play makes you think these puzzles are pretty easy but you can see the perfect design for this kind of game, when you play the game. Even though it is short and requires two games to play (one for you, one for the friend), it will satisfy your hunger for puzzles. I recommend playing both sides and purchasing it at sales, since it has great value.

This game improves on so many levels from the first game. The atmosphere is less creepy, but looks way better. The puzzles are more challenging and longer. There is a special mechanic to figure out as well, which is cool! And following the story makes it much better too, it's nice learning the backstory of the place instead of just randomly doing puzzles. The handwriting on those books is a bit hard to read though.

We got softlocked from the knight/sword puzzle because when we try to put the sword down it just disappears through the world. It's also easy to just fall through the world too. The game is just way more buggy than the first.

It's very difficult to make an asymmetrical puzzle game that is also fair. Most times it is lopsided and one person has it clearly easier than the other - not the case with this game. Very good balance with different enough mechanics on either side that you get to enjoy both. It also added replay value by making you be able to play both sides of the story and add a perfect "good" ending!

PREFERABLY do this with a friend, tho; It's just that much more fun that way, but honestly it is not a stressful game by any means. And definitely and improvement over its first entry.

Me and matey were here too.
Game good, we enjoy. you buy and play.
Much fun.
Some screaming with each other may happen...
But that just this series' standard gameplay loop.

This was a good step up from the first game in the series. It kept that same great atmosphere, but the puzzles had a much more satisfying challenge level to them and because of that it had more replay value when swapping roles as there was a lot less memorisation one could use to complete things. Overall really fun game.
8/10

Overall this is definitely a step up from the first game. I found the puzzles were a lot more challenging and fun than the previous title and I thought they were overall more creative. I still wish these games were a little longer but they are still a fun experience regardless. I give this game a 8/10

Finished the game with bugs lol but its a good game

Love the series very enjoyable puzzles, not to hard but not too easy

The worst part of the We Were Here series.
The UI is terrible and complicated.
The riddles make you argue a lot with your partner, and the maze puzzle was an absolute nightmare for us.
After all the frustration and effort we put in to reach the end, we couldn’t escape together—only one player could—because we had to find and activate all the levers hidden throughout the game. That was the most disappointing part.

Great co-op puzzle game, your experience with it will depend on your partner and your ability to communicate.

Like the previous We Were Here but slightly longer and a bit harder.

Also I had no crashes or anything during my time with it unlike other reviews.

Second game in the We Were Here saga, and compared to the first, there are some improvements, especially on the gameplay and puzzle side. You don't need a lot of commitment, just enough to have fun and experience a slight thrill of “running for time.”
I recommend starting the saga from the first We Were Here.

I liked the atmosphere and the puzzles (even tho a couple of them pissed me off sometimes), but the fact that one little mistake at the end basically kills your entire run and you have to go through the entire game from the start ruins it for me. This could've been avoided easily + there are some other bugs, and the fact that we already had to restart at some point because the pick chapter feature bugged out just adds to it

It's hard to say I recommend this game because there were some really frustrating puzzles but I do think there were more good than bad. It's mostly just hard to see it since the frustration over confusing puzzles starts to overtake the memories of the less frustrating normal puzzles.
The worst it gets is with some symbols that are really hard to see before interacting with them in the ritual room and the most manageable annoying puzzles involves excessive running around with the stain glass windows.
Also the secret ending is kind of annoying since there's no way to backtrack to search for levers without replaying the entire game.
I think its still a good game despite my grievances but is definitely not the strongest entry in the series.

saves are broken so be warned. Apart from that its good.

He Were Here系列第二部作品，还是系列一贯的依靠双方语音交流交换信息解密，难度较一代有一定提升，关卡数和一代差不多，不过第二代有中文且没有需要阅读或者听的文本，还新增了一个完美结局，问题是还是太短了，而且第二代的服务器没有一代好，玩的过程中卡退了几次。

Fantastic puzzle game series to play with a friend.

DOES NOT EVEN WORK. UNPLAYABLE. CAN NOT GET PAST MENU SCREEN.

Again: Another great experience from the "We Were Here" series. Great puzzles, sometimes a tad frustrating at the first attempt, but all doable. A wonderful co-op experience. Negligable storyline, but it doesn't matter. Making or not making the last achievement is a thrilling experience :)

Nothing Builds trust like being locked in a castle while shouting totally unhelpful instructions at each other

Finally, a version where there is "another way" (the whole game had to be played all in one sitting and without failing any of the timed puzzles in order to trigger this ending). My favorite game in the We Were Here series. 7.5/10

Great collaborative gameplay. Recommend the series lowkey.

how do you manage to make a better free game, this is awful. it soft locked me and my friend at the stairwell like a million times. i had to restart my game like 4 times and then it just kept happening. THIS SHOULDNT HAPPEN. why cant you just respwan in the same room as the puzzle why do you have to walk to the door for it to open because guess what. IT DIDNT OPEN! then when we finally got the puzzle through it didnt save at the checkpoint and we died so WE HAD TO BE SOFT LOCKED AGAIN!! HOW LOVELY. also when i restarted the game it wouldnt let me start at the stairwell checkpoint or any other checkpoint for that matter, only the start! so nice playing the same shit show multiple times to get soft locked again! WE DIDNT EVEN DO ANYTHING IT JUST STOPPED OPENING THE DOOR FOR ME! NO MATTER WHAT I DID IT WOULDNT FIX IT YIPPEE! i hate you and this game was so dissapointing.

The other games in this series are good. Particularly WWH Together and WWH Forever. The first one is just okay. This one is just buggy which makes it not fun to play. The biggest bug I encountered was that you can't save the game. It just doesn't work.
So, this game is okay if you're fine with completing it in one sitting, but otherwise, just skip it and play the others, it only adds a bit of lore to the series.

We Were Here Too is a regression from the original in almost every way, setting it up as the low point of the franchise so far. While the visuals continue to evolve into the characterful style we’d come to love in future entries, the sound design takes a nosedive, as does the puzzle design, which feels bland, flat and somewhat repetitive. Lacking the sense of atmosphere and immersion that makes other entries such fun, there’s the feel of a workplace teambuilding in We Were Here Too – sure, you’re working together, but it’s because you have to, not because you especially enjoy it. Thankfully, I know that future titles soar to significant heights, and I’m thrilled that the team at Total Mayhem Games found their groove with time.
