Game completed: We Were Here Expeditions

After Grounded we discovered that there was a new We Were Here that just released and it was free. We jumped on that and immediately got it downloaded and started to play. It was really nostalgic to be back in the roles of our Arctic explorers/rescuers even though it wasn't all that long ago we played through the series

This time the setting was more piratey than the medieval/castle/knights/royalty/magic kind of theme the rest of the series had going, but there is a tiny reference to previous games in the very beginning, in the intro, so that's cool. 

Just like the original We Were Here our only complaint is that this game is too short. It took us just over two hours to complete and that's with us redoing several of the puzzles just for fun and to try to get better results. Why is it that a puzzle always goes better before we're really sure of what we're doing and when we know what we're doing we somehow end up doing worse? 

The puzzle where one player is drugged to see paths that aren't there or paths that are there have turned invisible, and the other player watches from above, mind unmuddled, and guides them through what's real or not was a really cool puzzle and we had a lot of fun with it. 

I also really liked the puzzle where you had to coordinate between each other to make the best and most color combinations. 

We did both of those puzzles so many times xD Which the short little shareable/downloadable clip at the end showcased xD

All in all, this was a really fun adventure. Could've been longer, but that's honestly the only nitpick and for a free game it's negligible.
