With pills called "Joy" helping citizens forget the atrocities of the past, uprising is far less likely. Children are sent to the German mainland without reason, and the quiet town of Wellington Wells is plunged into a drug-induced mirage of peaceful, happy co-existence. We Happy Few takes place in a timeline where Germany reigned victorious after World War II and has England bowing to their whims. Its three individual tales of survival manage to deliver some surprisingly poignant moments, but We Happy Few does its best to dissuade you from wanting to play long enough to see them through. The game's fascinating setting of a drug-fueled society wasting away in fake happiness is squandered on repetitive environments, poorly paced and downright boring quest designs, and a variety of confusing mechanics that never find harmony with each other. Overall, this game is fantastic for certain players and definitely a good pick for those who love survival games.Just like the forcibly stretched grins of its inhabitants, the joy found in We Happy Few is a facade. All that being said the was fantastic and the product came within the week. The price for this product was exactly what I was willin g to pay (though now that I have it I regret not getting it earlier so I would have paid more). In the first few days I have played one character and spent nearly 20 hours trying to get Arthur from the starting point to Germany and, let me tell you, I forgot to eat a few times I was so engaged with the storyline and the mini quest that you HAVE to do to get skill points to survive later on.

The only downside is the loading takes about 5-10 minutes but, honestly, it really isn't that had cause it gives you time to grab a few snacks and a drink before falling into a Joy induced world of fantastic gameplay. I am a packrat game player and this is a fantastic game for people like me. All future content that is part of this pass will be accessible in-game once it is available.ĭespite all the reviews I have seen online this game is fantastic for people who like an adventure with compelling storytelling and survival game play. Each add-on will be a new adventure that follows the antics of one of Wellington Wells' most notorious residents. The Season Pass contains three pieces of future content for We Happy Few. There's a definite chance of pain when using this weaponized umbrella, complete with advanced blocking capabilities and trippy psychedelic interior. Pre-Order and get the exclusive in-game Jolly Brolly weapon at launch. Discover the retrofuturistic city's dark history as you play through the intertwined narratives of three quietly rebellious citizens of Wellington Wells, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, as they face their pasts, prepare for the future, and engage in activities that aren't exactly status quo in the artificially enthused society. You'll have to fight or blend in with the drug-addled inhabitants, most of whom don't take kindly to people who won't abide by their not-so-normal rules. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key. We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells.

The We Happy Few Deluxe Edition includes both the game and the Season Pass.
