focus on story over survival is a good choice, and at its best when dropping bombshells of truth that the drugged people of Wellington Wells have tried so hard to ignore. In its Early Access, I felt like wandering between procedurally-generated islands to stay alive wasted the intriguing setting and...

F ew games make as big a splash at E3 as We Happy Few. It seems like every year the game shows up it wows the audience with its unique world and fascinating story structure.

Insanely fun game! There are some bugs, but the storyline is fascinating and the gameplay is superb! I bought it at full price, which I typically don't do, but it was totally worth it! If you're interested in dystopian games, you should definitely try We Happy Few!

Great; nuanced dialogue and love story; New weapons are fun to use; Puzzles are a joy to solve

Technical issues and bugs are present; Not a standalone package; Tags

Been wanting to buy this game for a while, glad I did . Really enjoy playing it
