A hard game to review

Visual style is awesome. British humor everywhere - it's beautiful. But the game is undoubtedly flawed. Many quests are "meh" and, to be fair, getting to the finish line with the main game felt like I was struggling, dragging myself through it. The most frustrating thing was the AI - up to a point of unbearability. BUT after I finished the main game and got to the DLCs - I was pleasantly surprised - they were really nice, no boring side quests or main storyline that feels like forever - only nice short compact stories, one for each DLC. My favourite was "The Lightbearer" - it was really different from the others with its really distinct pretty visual style. TLDR: I'd rate the main game 3/5 but the DLCs improve the rating up to 4/5 for me

Great theme, but too repetitive

It's an interesting theme and great visuals and dialog. Gameplay and map really lack though. Map- While the map has a few interesting points, the randomly generated terrain was a terrible decision that makes the map repetitive, boring, and painfully large and empty. Walking- Walking is not a fun grind. Way too much slow walking. Gameplay- Getting caught sneaking or running in the village turns every NPC hostile until you hide in bushes for 30s which is a lame mechanic. Combat is okay. Again, very repetitive. Game started fun, but lacked sufficient replay value for me to even finish all 3 acts.

Buy it on sale

Bought this game on sale, ~5$ for the base game + season pass with all three DLCs Story is great, mechanics are OK, technical execution lacks polish. It's not a bad game, it's a disappointing one - there are great ideas in there, but as a whole it doesn't really work. Still, for 5$, I had an enjoyable moment, but I wouldn't pay near the official price tags (50$ for base game, 80$ for base game + DLCs) for that. It's a great indie title, not a great AA(A) game.

Good Game Play - Whiny Main Character

I enjoy open world stealth combat games, and We Happy Few is just such a game. The stealth portions of the game remind me of Splinter Cell - excellent, tense, clever. Very enjoyable. The story line is decent; no complaints there. The harvesting and crafting portions of the game are simpler than Elder Scrolls games, but that's not really a bad thing. It keeps the focus on game play rather than crafting (though the crafting portion of things is still a moderate portion of the game). Lots of puzzle stuff, trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B, so it's not just sneaking around or fighting. They focused heavily on story telling, which can be very entertaining if you have a good story. And while the main story line is quite good, and the voice acting is expert...the whiny main character is killing me. Every time I knock out some guard, self-pitying Arthur (the main character we play) asks them for forgiveness. Sometimes after a fight, he laments what the world is coming to. And I appreciate the idea, but the guy's so...whiny, is all. He's constantly woe-is-me about his situation, which is certainly understandable, but in the midst of high tension, anxious stealth game play, it sucks the vigor out of me. Honestly, it's a great game, and if you like a good open world, harvesting, crafting, intelligent levels, periodic puzzles, decent and unique graphics, good base story line and challenging combat game, then We Happy Few is a great choice. But you will have to put up with a whiner. (Maybe its just me, by the way. It may simply be a pet peeve that's interfering with my personal ability to give this game a 5 star rating - and his self-pity may simply inspire sympathy from you, and you'll love it. It's my one complaint.)

A+ Story, B- Game Stability

This really should have been a much shorter, tighter Bioshock style linear experience. The story, the voice acting, the cutscenes all look great! It's an original notion with a lot of exploration for both drama and dark humor. The fully designed locations look fantastic, stylish, and fun to explore. The innumerable patches that are still going on HAVE improved a lot of aspects of the game as well, from the U.I to the balance. But the procedural generation is the stumbling block. Characters cannot handle the complexities of the environments for long before getting stuck or floating in place. Combat is clunky but constant because it's way too easy to be spotted, and once you are spotted every enemy will immediately know where you are. The harsher aspects of survival have been shaved down thankfully but they're still there a bit annoying. You'll never have enough food which is thematic...but so is getting infections from bandages (which is also a thing) and neither is particularly fun. There's just not a lot you can do when you're in trouble, being chased, or sick. You ARE the underdog, I realize that, but if you feel completely powerless you aren't so much playing the game as trying to avoid its mechanics. This is a wonderful and creative story constantly fighting against a clunky game that overstepped its boundaries. You cannot ever fully predict procedural generation which is part of the appeal of it, but its also the problem We Happy Few cannot quit surmount despite considerable improvements.
