Unfortunate Spacemen
This game has everything a among us player wants plus sooooooo much more.
First of all this game is free and I mean free not loot boxs or pay to win mechanics, there are somewhat overpriced cosmetics but they are purely cosmetic and ad no gameplay advantage.
There is a story mode which is not bad, a survival mode that’s pretty meh, and shapeshifter the reason everyone plays without going into a long wall of text One of you is a monster and everyone’s name is hidden as a color. Instead of scaresolution for example you see blue the monster looks human until he transforms and the twist he can change color.

Unfortunate spacemen is where you play as one of many unfortunate spacemen/women stuck on a station with a shapeshifting monster that’s out to screw you over one way or another. (there are other gamemodes, however the game and this review will revolve mostly around the shapeshifter gamemode)
Pros:
-
Very large amount of replayability, it has a justifiable amount of maps and weapons that show up in random spots, as do the objectives.
-
Fantastic OST, the recently added menu music is something I can’t help but jam out to (I miss the old music though :( )

Bought this game tonight and immediately played though it. My friend and I are huge fans of the “We were here” games and have struggled to find similar ones after playing though the first two. We tried “Tic Tok” and a few coop platformer but nothing could really match up to “We were here”. Until now at least.
“Mark & Lara” is an amazing coop game. You don’t need the internet, just the game and you are set for about 2,5 hours of fun. That’s about how much time it took us to play though it once and we will again soon in order to experience the story out of both character’s perspectives. So for 4 bucks you have ~5 hours of playtime, which is solid imo. The story itself is amazing and really pulled us in. It really feels like investigating and we really enjoyed it. The game consists of talking to one of the two suspects, “official” documents and documentations of conversations. You have to really concentrate and look for the details and compare what the two suspects say in order to find the solution. Teamwork is necessary. The story was surprising in quite a few points and it was refreshing to not have a standart “why I killed him” plot but something more complex. We developed a good amount of theories of what could have happened and none of them turned out to be the correct one in the end.

Legacies
In Legacies you are a team of eco-vigilantes who are trying to do good with what they got. Choose from an assortment of tech filled submarines, investigate distress beacons and gather evidence to discover what caused the cry for help. But beware, dangers lurk above and below the water.
Distress beacons can vary from ecological, exploitation or even natural disasters. It’s up to your team to work together to discover the cause, log the evidence required, and choose whether it’s time to fight or flight. Your team could turn in your evidence for money, or face the problem head on for an even larger reward.
We Were Here Too
Great game!! The sequel to We Were Here, We Were Here Too is another series of escape rooms within the same castle (there are HINTS of a story). This one felt slightly less intuitive than We Were Here, although my friend and I didn’t really get hung up on any of the puzzles. When we did it was either because we did a bad job at describing something or because we didn’t communicate a detail that we didn’t realize was important and/or different for each player. There were timers on a lot of the puzzles that honestly were just sort of annoying. They were clearly there to increase the difficulty, but they didn’t. It often just resulted in us having to re-do puzzles we knew how to do, but ran out of time on. Or screwed up, because we were rushing. The maze puzzle in particular – there’s really no room for error.

The first game was a great time, Unfortunately We Were Here Too is a buggy MESS.
-Both me and my friend were unable to ever resume games we started and were forced to start the whole game over and finish it in one sitting
- The cube puzzle is just broken, sometimes after interacting with it, it doesn’t enlarge the cube for you to examine it OR you just immediately pick it up OR your guy just throws it on the ground. Steam has better item manipulation in their TRADING CARDS than this game does when you need to look at a bloody cube!!

First Class Escape: The Train of Thought
I’d really like to recommend this, but that Chapter 4… it sapped the fun :( and made it almost impossible to finish the game. Great setting and ideas up to then, if sometimes let down by the execution. The co-op hosting was seamless, controls were fine, and how nice to find notes not littered with errors. I loved working out the guests, but searching a bookcase three times for that one you can interact with? Dull and frustrating. Collectables are a fun addition… sometimes they were more clever and satisfying to retrieve than solving the puzzles!

Just finished playing this game in single player mode. Overall the game was enjoyable…graphics are nicely done and the puzzles for the most part were not overly difficult. I see some people giving the game negative reviews because some of the puzzles on Level 4 were challenging…if you take your time and examine how each machine works, you can eventually solve them without the need for a walkthrough.
Having said that, this is a new game and some refinement is needed. Having to drag things with the mouse (opening drawers, turning dials, etc.) is tedious and annoying….there has to be a better way to do this. There’s also apparently no way to customize the keyboard controls and no info that I could find on which keys do what. It’s also almost impossible to read some of the notes when you pick them up…the text is tiny and I could find no way to magnify it. Playing on a large screen TV sitting maybe 5 feet away, I had to get up and stand 6" away from the text to read it.

We Were Here Together
Let me first say I highly recommend. 5/5!!
My friend and I have played the entire “We Were Here” (WWH) series, and have been fans from the beginning. We are also critics willing to acknowledge when games we like are flawed.
Our first impression coming into the game was that it had a very different feel from the start. Typical WWH has you starting in a dark, dank dungeon with extremely linear progression. It has a light touch of cartoony horror that has always both left us laughing, and me screaming while having a panic attack (at the theatre puzzle). This one starts you off in a very light hearted, warm, homey setting in a semi-free and open environment from where you can gaze at a startlingly beautiful landscape. The world feels alive down to the intracite detail. While still cartoony, it is new, refreshing, and shows a much higher quality while slowly returning to its cartoony-horror roots as you progress. (We only just started chapter 2) It is no longer just about a dungeon, but about being in a world and a story that is unraveling before your eyes.

Honestly this is better polished than the first and second instalments but lacks the charisma of them both. We Were Here Together is a must have if you have played the other games, so go right ahead and give the free game We Were Here a shot first if you are on the fence. Chances are you already have so I am writing this review with that mindset that you have played the others. Fear not, there will be NO SPOILERS FOR ANY of the trilogy in this review.
The We Were Here trilogy centres around an expedition to a frozen wasteland where there is a castle filled to the brim with devious puzzles for you to solve. Why should you solve them? Well, why are you here? Go big or go home.

Escape Simulator
Great and fun co-op game. the puzzle difficulty is just right. the interactivity with the environment is good (you can pickup some objects, throw them, inspect them together with co-op friends, but some object can only be drag around). Looking forward for the new level update from the developer and high quality workshop level from the community. I hope the developer would expand the capability of the level editor to facilitate that.
Update :
Ok, so the additional 58 hours since the first review was mostly (80%-90%) consisted of me trying to play around with the editor and eventually created a level in the workshop which you can find here :

Escape Simulator is one of the few escape room games that can be played with one or more friends, in online co-op mode. In fact, while the game can be experienced in its entirety in solo mode as well, it was clearly designed with the multiplayer feature in mind.
Escape Simulator is structured in very small one-room levels that are all available to play from the beginning (there are no requirements to unlock them) and which are grouped according to their theme. At the moment of the release, the game features 16 levels in total (a tutorial, and 5 levels each, belonging to an Egypt / space / Victorian mansion theme) with more to come in the near future (5 more levels have been announced as a free port-release path). Aside from this, players can create their own rooms and share them with the community, since the game also has a Steam-integrated workshop.
