We Happy Few is a distinctive title that blends elements of survival, stealth, and exploration within a semi-open world. Set in a dystopian alternate 1960s England, the game is driven by a strong thematic identity, featuring retro-futuristic environments, period-inspired design, and a surreal narrative tone that sets it apart visually and conceptually. Gameplay-wise, We Happy Few offers a mixture of mechanics, including crafting, combat, and story-driven missions. While these systems can be engaging, they occasionally feel repetitive over time, which may affect long-term player engagement. Nonetheless, the game's world is filled with curious characters and unusual scenarios that keep the experience feeling fresh in key moments. For players who appreciate atmosphere and are drawn to eccentric storytelling, We Happy Few presents a compelling, if sometimes uneven, experience. Its darker themes and occasional bursts of violence may not appeal to everyone, but for those willing to invest in its strange world, there’s a rewarding journey to be found.

I took the happy drug 10/10 best game, no bugs... little short.
If you can get through the absolutely horrible survival mechanics, repetitive open world, and super sloppy combat, there is a story in there. Unfortunately for me, that was a big IF. Played 5 hours of it and it felt like such a chore, the combat and tedious portions draw you out of the story and the technical issues with the NPCs make the maps feel empty. Honestly I am glad that I waited this long to play this game at a huge discount. Was such a let down for me.
Gostei muito do jogo, a história é bem envolvente e a ambientação é simplesmente única. É uma ditadura, e se observar bem as entrelinhas, é até uma crítica! No começo, jogando com o Arthur, eu achava a Sally uma filha da p*, mas conforme a história avança a gente entende melhor o que ela passou e acaba vendo tudo de outra forma. Tem alguns bugs sim e precisei fechar e abrir o jogo de novo devido a algum deles. Mas ainda assim, a narrativa compensa bastante. Eu era louca com esse jogo, então sou um pouco suspeita pra falar. Joguei só a história principal até agora, mas quero rejogar pra explorar mais o mapa e fazer as outras missões secundárias, porque sei que deixei algumas coisinhas pra trás. Não fiz todas. No geral, recomendo bastante <3
played on xbox one x and series xand ps4 pro and pc completed it been longtime fan please guys make a second game i love it
The more I play this game the more I actually enjoy it. It gets a lot of (deserved) hate but it's a great game. It's not as good as it was hyped to be, sure, but I'm still replaying now and then up to this day. It's surprisingly fun and engaging when it's not being buggy. 7/10
Aldous Huxley simulator. Underrated and worth picking up when on a major discount!

"We Happy Few" was capable of so much more. While the plot is amazing, the playstyle may not be to everyone's taste. Although I think it's great, I wish there were more distinctive human models for the typical male NPC. Any characters that have no importance. Doctors & Bobbies are the only male NPCs who I believe look fantastic; the rest are just "Arthur dressed differently". The NPCs for women aren't much better either; I find that battles may grow boring. they are usually slower than you, they're not the sharpest, and they take too long to notice you, therefore I wish there was more diversity and that hiding, sneaking, or utilizing joy in general was more significant. However, It's a game that should definetly be exsperienced!
