The Season Pass contains three pieces of future content for We Happy Few. Each add-on will be a new adventure that follows the antics of one of Wellington Wells’ most notorious residents. Buy the Season Pass and get all three add-ons at a discounted rate.
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. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key. 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.

Way too expensive
The pricing of this game is some kind of a bad joke. Don't feed the Publisher Greedbox with 85€ of your hard earned money for this "Deluxe" bundle. That is crazy. Probably almost any other game here on GOG will offer you more value for money, than this at non-sale price...

Not That Great
People talk about how We Happy Few got turned around and turned into what people wanted, using the feedback when the game initially hit Early Access. That they turned it around from a boring crafty sandbox and turned it into something closer to the Bioshock-esque intrigue that the initial trailer proposed. I'm here to tell you that is wrong. The game isn't TERRIBLE but it's barely above mediocre. The writing is.. mostly decent, but the gameplay doesn't lend to it that well. It's still a mostly empty world with gameplay that ranges from too slow to poorly designed. There's never any real threat to you, as outside of specific chokepoints there's no way for the game to realize you haven't been taking your Joy. Sure, the monitors and stuff will start screaming about how you need to take it, but nobody reacts to that. The guards don't care, and the enemies that CAN detect you're off your Joy are comically easy to avoid. One walked up to me and I just walked away, just fine. And even if you DO alert the authorities (and literally everyone in town is ready to kick your arse) you can just.. run away. Literally just leave the area, go into a trashcan or a shelter, and they just magically forget what you did. You could kill swathes of people, leave their bodies in the streets, and there's no real reaction other than maybe someone looks at the bodies. Then we get to how the quest system works, where it just points you to your destination. But several quests will make you turn around and go do a thing to progress, but the quest doesn't update to tell you that. The game just gives you an entirely new quest, leaving major story quests just sitting in your journal for no reason. I'm going to finish the game, because the main story itself is interesting enough I'd like to see it play out, but man is the journey not any fun.

4 1/2 Stars (If You Don't Need A Twitch Shooter and Have An Attention Span)
I waited till 2022 to buy the Deluxe Edition on Xbox One (for $27.00) and it was SO worth the wait. I've been a gamer since 1977 and owned too many consoles and spent WAY too many hours gaming. I've read the posts here and too many seem to be from people who want COD while others don't appreciate the attention to detail in the world, the stories and the main characters. You DEF need the DLCs and they're worth it. The game isn't complete without them. The writing and the interaction between the 3 characters you play over the course of the game is an interesting story telling device – having multiple perspectives helps to flesh out the world and it's dangers and features. Each character has their own motivations and approaches that change the game and game play. For many who have the shortened attention span that Holy Devices of the last 20 years have imparted, you may find the pace isn't fast enough for you. That is unfortunate for you but doesn't apply to those of us that enjoy intrigue, good writing and a bit of Monty Pythonesque/dark shaded humour. Not many games of the 1,000 or so I've played have made me laugh, smirk a-n-d feel crushed. If you're not aware, or too young to have learned in detail about WW2, this alternate reality in 1960s UK, post WW2 and the Nazi victory, might not be as compelling but the part of the story regarding the missing children is damn prescient considering what Putin is doing with Ukrainian children now. To close: If you rob yourself of the chance to play this game based solely on the comments here, or based on the 'professional' reviews that (rightly) slagged this title when it was shipped broken and have therefore dragged down the average review score: Your loss. I WILL agree that the regular price is ludicrous when you consider older console games always cost far more than on PC and this game is the outlier being SO much more than its console counterparts: $108.00 CDN for the (must have) Deluxe Version is L-U-D-I-C-R-O-U-S for a 6 year old title. But as of this writing it's currently $27.00 CDN and even though I own it on Xbone, I'm picking it up now so I can play it again on my hep'd up PC and be able to in the future should my console ever brick. This game is that good.
