Most puzzles involve combining objects, moving things, pulling levers or pushing buttons, etc. These restarts aren’t even particularly bad-just a short loading screen later and you’re back at it. Though, being timed doesn’t really change much-if you fail the puzzle by running out of time, you can just restart. You can take your time and figure out most puzzles, but some of them are timed. While the puzzles are clever, and there are usually enough clues scattered about that most of the barrier to solving them is getting you and your partner on the right track. Puzzles can be genuinely hard to figure out, but are pretty fun. This is the best and worst part of the game, and will test your relationship with whomever you choose to take the journey with. Everything you do can and will affect your partner, and even if you’re working on different parts of a puzzle, neither of you will survive or escape without the other.

The variety of puzzles keeps the game interesting and helps ensure that if you’re beating your head against the wall on one puzzle, the next won’t be more of the same, and is a new chance for success. You’ll work with levers, identify plants and combine them to create something new, play a game of memory in a castle room, connect pipes and pressurize them, build bridges, connect wires and brew poisons. We Were Here Together is all about solving puzzles, and there is a good variety. While you can’t switch places in-game, if you want to try out different puzzles, or try out your partner’s puzzle, you can always remake a room and try it out that way. The puzzles start easy, but eventually become larger-sprawling across multiple rooms. Unfortunately, we ended up having some volume issues with the in-game voice, so we had to resort to using Discord. This makes voice communication is an absolute must. Also, there are several puzzles where you won’t even be in sight of your partner-they will be in an entire different room, solving their part of the larger puzzle.
You can only wave and point-waving being totally useless to solve any puzzles. There isn’t text communication, but your characters can gesture. You can communicate with your friend using the in game voice, represented by the walkie-talkie.
I played through We Were Here Together with my wife, and longtime co-op partner, Marielle.
And while there is a community that plays the game, it’s best to bring a friend along. But an AI partner would defeat the point of We Were Here Together, which is a game that is all about communicating with a partner.

And while We Were Here Together has a story, it’s so puzzle-oriented that the story really is a small piece of We Were Here Together.

We Were Here Together is the third in a series of co-op puzzle games. We Were Here Together sounds like my ideal game-and we had an absolutely charming, if not frustrating, time with it. I always liked it best when a two player puzzle game has bits of asymmetrical puzzle solving-one person works on one aspect of a puzzle while the other person works on their individual part, both working towards the same goal. I love puzzle games, and I love co-op games.
