While the atmosphere is great and the story is pretty good, this game is so darn repetitive it hurts. Go to pace X, fetch Y, go back, drop Y. Rinse and repeat. This game would have been much better without the open world, since traversing it is just boring, sometimes even annoying and a lot of skills are directly used to eliminate this aspect of the game. That is not a good look. To be a little more precise, it took me roughly 50 hours to complete the game, I assume that nearly 20 hours are just me walking from A to B...in a world that is just not interesting. The novelty wears off very fast. Additionally, once you get the hang of it, it becomes painfully obvious that this is a game, you have to force yourself to not "look behind the curtain" because it's so obvious that this is a facade. We Happy Few depends much on creating and maintaining atmosphere, but unfortunately the maintaining bit falls to the player. I would recommend it when it is on sale, maybe 20 bucks for the whole package. Shame, really.
