Be aware, nothing is what it seems – there are dark secrets hidden in the shadows. You and your friend are trapped in the realm of Castle Rock with no way out – were you betrayed, or simply not that clever? Work together to escape, explore and solve puzzles in this mysterious Antarctic adventure. Let us know how you find We Were Here Forever.

It should also be on PS4 and PS5, whilst PC folk are also catered for. Expect to pay £14.99. You’ll find We Were Here Forever over at the Xbox Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S – fully optimised for the new-gen consoles. It feels the best way to take the series in. For those new to the franchise, we’d advise getting going from the very start and working through the releases on order. If you are a veteran of the We Were Here scene, looking to continue your escape journey with a friend, you should be getting involved with We Were Here Forever near immediately. The only spoiler you’ll get is that we gave it a 3.5/5 score. For more info though, both to how this plays and what you should be looking out for, you’d do well to check out our full review of We Were Here Forever on Xbox Series X|S. We Were Here Forever runs a delicate story too – but honestly, aside from being chased down by a Jester every now and then, it’s one that has gone well over our heads. You may also want to stick party chat on too as whilst the in-game comms works well, some of the puzzles can become a little frustrating.

With a walkie-talkie chat system in play, in theory you could well scour the depths of the online systems that power your gaming platform of choice, but we think that in order to really get the most from the game, you’ll want to team up with a buddy. Let us be clear – communication between you and your cooperative partner is utterly key to finding any success in We Were Here Forever. There are also a host of levers, buttons and pads to help these tests of the mind work. There are takes on old-school pipe puzzles, there are portals, there are mechanisms and there are light reflectors. Ultimately set-up as a series of escape rooms, We Were Here Forever is a brilliant puzzler, capable of throwing a whole host of differing options your way.
