We Were Here (original) was a super fun co-op experiment, anchored by the walkie talkie mechanic. We were here too is an expansion of that, but it doesn't quite hit the same mark.

"An Average Puzzle Game That Still Made Me Laugh"
This game is pretty generic. It is a co-op puzzle game where each player follows a different path, with one directing and one interacting with objects as you both try to figure out each area's puzzle. Some of the puzzle are pretty basic in that you just match symbols, but some are completely strange and unclear, leaving my partner and I completely stumped as to what we were supposed to do. Some turned out to be pretty clever in practice, but others were way too vague in what they waned the player to achieve.
Much of the game was quite forgetful as there is basically no plot, and even though it was only an hour or so of playtime, I was already looking for the fastest way to finish this game. Nothing really stuck out to me besides a hilarious ending, where my partner and I miscommunicated and I ended up abandoning him in a most dramatic fashion during an ending cutscene. The game does such a bad job at directing the player that we had no idea that we had even reached a point where the game ended, and it resulted in many laughs. Its free, so if you and a friend have the time to kill, and are looking for a bland yet hilarious co-op puzzle game, try this title out. However, I would Not Recommend it at the end of the day, as it didn't provide enough for even two full hours of enjoyable entertainment besides its final moments.
Final Verdict: 5/10 (Average)

Played right after the first in a replay-athon with a friend who's never played... It was a lot better than the first and the puzzles felt a lot better overall in a majority of aspects. Definitely worth to play, the only complaint being a lot of puzzles are time-sensitive out of nowhere and the time can feel fleeting at moments, or unfair in others, overall fairly fun tho.
Another great entry, this one felt a bit more intense than the first one which was great. The presentation and difficulty is a lot better this time around. Whenever we got stuck on something it was never the games fault, just ours for not thinking outside of the box. I also like what it hints at at the end, would make for a refreshing replay not present in the first
Significantly better than the first game, but still a lot of room for improvement. The staircase/cube puzzle is quite aggravating, I can't help but wonder if the designers realize that it's 10x more punishing than every other puzzle in the series. However, I still enjoyed this game, and would recommend it if you have a similarly-inclined friend.
Pretty great little co-op game. It's asymmetric multiplayer, so you and another person do individual puzzles and have to communicate to solve them. There are achievements for either side of the playthrough so make sure you play it twice!
We ran into a frustrating situation where the last achievement requires you to flip a bunch of hidden switches across the game. However we missed out on one of the last switches as we died in lava in the final room (because the devs have an elevator fake-out that drops you into lava) and it locked the door behind us, preventing us from getting the switch. This would require us to do an entire full playthrough again. Pretty bad system in this case.

I think the first one was distinctly better between puzzle themeing and interesting cooperative solutions. This one felt too much like just the same puzzle over and over with slightly new gimmicks. The maze puzzle in particular is very annoying.
But it's got some nice atmosphere and coop immediately elevates everything.

Buen juego cooperativo, segunda entrega de la saga We Were Here, ideal para pasar unas pocas sesiones con un amigo. Algo más largo que su predecesor (unas 3 horas y media en sacar el 100%), con puzles más elaborados pero igualmente divertidos. Recomendado si te gustan este tipo de co-ops y mejor que la primera entrega de la saga.
