There are around six areas to explore, but they all more or less either look like a rundown shanty town or a rundown city so there’s not much visual diversity on display here. So being a survival game, there’s a big open map to explore for resources, quests, loot, etc. It launched as that during its time in early access, and while it’s still partly that, the new story elements have caused both aspects of the game to clash horribly with each other. Each of these people are flawed and hiding some damning secret, but you never really end up caring much about them or the overarching plot.Īt its core, We Happy Few is a survival game. You’ll play as three characters: Arthur, Sally, and Olli. With the full release, Compulsion Games has decided to add a chunk more linear story elements to what was originally just a survival game. It’s a truly fascinating setting whose potential is never fully realized in a satisfying way. The citizens have begun taking a drug called Joy that puts them in an immediate chipper mood and helps them forget whatever awful things happened in the past. We Happy Few takes place in an alternate 1960s England where things have gone a bit sour since Germany won World War ll. MonsterVine was supplied with a PC code for review Compulsion Games has spent that time working on turning the game into what its initial trailers led everyone to believe it was, and I feel it’s safe to say the final product is more a middling affair of both genres instead of standing out as either one. It’s been two years since We Happy Few released on Steam’s Early Access, and what everyone expected to be something similar in the vein to say, a Bioshock, turned out to be more of a survival game that was met with mixed responses. ![]() ![]() ![]() I should preface this review by stating that I’ve not played the Early Access version of the game, so this review will be a critique on the final release as it is instead of a comparison to its previous version.
