“Easily the weakest entry of the series. 3 minigames, the second is mostly rng, the third can be mostly done by one person alone. The radio adds nothing and it's honestly just slapped on as legacy feature. My biggest…”

— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“It's a fun little co-op game for in between. Took me and my friend roughly 3 1/2 hours to 100% complete it with every achievement there is - and that's including half an hour food break. Great to get into the whole We Were Here Series and to see, if you're even made for this…”
