    Despite the performance issues, We Happy Few is a must-own title for any gamer who loves survival open world titles and quality world building.

    We are always attracted by dystopian worlds, and We Happy Few’s is a hell of a ride. In spite of some gameplay issues, including the combat, Compulsion’s new game is a great experience to enjoy.

    It’s hard to criticize a game that offers so much originality, humor and satirical atmosphere. We Happy Few, unfortunately, lets its narrative and characters get bogged down in a desperate and, at times, tedious struggle to survive the game’s brutal environment.

    We Happy Few is going to go down as a cult hit. If you can muster the strength to get past its janky gameplay, there's a whole lot to love here in the world and characters. But the fact remains that this adventure is one that could have used a bit more refinement.

    If you can see past the casually designed mechanics and truly immerse yourself in the environment and narrative aspects of We Happy Few, there’s plenty to see here. Unfortunately for those probing a more wholesome experience, We Happy Few falls short.

    Much like Contrast before it, We Happy Few shows off plenty of potential with its original and engaging world from a team whose passion and heart clearly shines through. Unfortunately, the random nature of the world ultimately hampers this ambition, and is held back further by lackluster stealth and inconsistent dialogue.

    There are just too many hurdles to overcome to enjoy We Happy Few, and not enough Joy in the world to cast them aside.

The final result has a compelling story but is plagued by watered down mechanics, a skill system than inevitably removed all difficulty from the experience, and most detrimentally a whole slew of bugs and glitches. The early access release from 18 months before release was more functional. If I had paid the full $60 price tag I'd have gotten a refund asap, but I know signed up for an early access game and I've made my peace. If the sandbox mode restores the old resource meters I might revisit my score... I really really really wanted to like this game.… Expand
