While a great addition to the We Were Here Series, Expeditions: The FriendShip is not likely to blow your mind. If you are ok with a slower-paced, purely puzzle-based game that runs on the shorter side when you have an hour or two to kill with your friend online, this is a worthy title to look at. It's also a great way to introduce yourself into the series as a whole and help you decide if you want to sink your teeth into one of the other, longer, games. While I do personally prefer couch co-op, this is one title I'm sure to get back into time and time again for my online co-op needs, which are more and more common these days.
With a new storyline and new tweaks to the series’ co-op gameplay, We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is an excellent start to this multi-part franchise installment.
AMAZING GAME! My sister and I played for several hours and beat in one sitting. Note: It didn't take several hours to beat, but we were aiming for perfect scores in all levels, which is a super fun task I highly recommend. This game is really great for all levels as it is optional how far beyond passing you choose to go, so if you find a puzzle challenging at its core, the bare minimum will do the trick, but you can also push yourself to go farther and get all the golds. The graphics are incredible, the soundtrack is captivating, and the levels are challenging, but so engaging that you don't mind doing them repeatedly. Such a fun game, highly recommend!
Really, really enjoyed this game. After playing the previous games, this light version is something nice to try out with friends who were hesitant. The puzzles are indeed a bit more easier and thus you're playing a bit shorter too. But nevertheless, still a fun game. Especially since it's a freebie.
We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip serves as a spin-off from the main series, presenting an experience that can be completed in a single evening. This two-hour adventure encompasses three meticulously crafted puzzles that intricately rely on cooperation between two players. A noteworthy addition is the introduction of a commendable achievement system, which, ideally, will find its way into the main series too. Whether obtained for free, making it an irresistible experience, or acquired at the cost of a full-price movie ticket, The FriendShip undoubtedly delivers substantial value and engaging content.
For die-hard fans, We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip feels like coming home. Compared to the larger Forever, developer Total Mayhem has pulled the handbrake and opted for a smaller-scale adventure in which you can easily reach the finish line in one evening. But due to the nice variation in puzzles, small innovations in game elements and reasonable but satisfying replay value, The FriendShip will certainly ensure that you will not soon forget that evening, at least until the next Expeditions adventure is ready.
A minor gripe would be that the content is a little short, but as this is intended to be another episode for the series, it’s not a serious gripe. A nice taster without being a waste of time, a great introduction to social games without the pressure of eight-player ability fuelled mayhem, and an enjoyable adventure for experienced thinkers and friends alike. Plus, pirates! Try it.
We Were Here changes its format to deliver shorter (and cheaper) adventures, while keeping its formula intact and offering yet another fun puzzle challenge to solve with a friend.
The only problem is we still want more! Don’t get me wrong, I’m always grateful to see a new deeply cooperative game release as, as mentioned, they are often few and far between, but the We Were Here games are special.
We Were Here Expeditions: The Friendship is a unique game, not because of its graphics, but because of its message and gameplay. You will build much more than a bond, you will get to know yourself much better and you will embark on a short but intense journey in company. [Recommended]
Ich habe gelesen, dass diese Spielreihe immer besser wird, da dieses hier das Neuste ist und es das mal kostenlos gab, ist es entweder eine gefloppte Ausnahme oder die vorherigen Teile waren echt ohje... denn wir hatten hier:- ein lulu Zurufspiel (easy & schnell)- ein sehr frustrierendes Spiel mit mega langen Absprachen bzgl der Objektplatzierungen (medium & lang)- ein tatsächlich ganz cooles Vertrauensspiel, aber nichts wirklich Neues (medium & medium)Legende: (Schwierigkeit & Länge des Spiels)Und dann ist man durch, das war´s, insgesamt einfach total kurz, es bietet somit sehr wenig & noch weniger fun.Gegen It takes two klar, aber auch gegen Operation Tango - keine Chance.
