We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial. Set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative 1960s England, you’ll have to blend in with its other inhabitants, who don’t take kindly to people who don’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.

We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial. Set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative 1960s England, you’ll have to blend in with its other inhabitants, who don’t take kindly to people who don’t abide by their not-so-normal rules. Set in a retrofuturistic 1960s, you will find a city ravaged by war and rebuilt by delusionally happy people. Everything appears to be happy in Wellington Wells, including the roads, the people, and its omnipresent television personality, Uncle Jack! However, it’s a beautiful world on the brink of collapse. You will discover the history of this world, and how it came to be just so beguilingly happy. We Happy Few is about surviving in and escaping from a procedurally generated world, where you must learn to hide in plain sight. If you act out of turn, or you’re not on Joy (the local happy pills), the locals will become suspicious and will rapidly turn your frown upside down! Forcefully. You will need to practice conformity, stealth and combat if you want to survive long enough to escape.

I'll play more polished, bigger and more bombastic blockbuster games this year, but We Happy Few will stay with me long after its quests are over.

We Happy Few is like a mix of some of the best games over the years to successfully marry combat, crafting, puzzle-solving, and narrative into one beautiful amalgam of curiosity.

There's a great story lurking in We Happy Few, but you'll have to escape some repetitive levels to find it.

We Happy Few doesn't always come together to form a cohesive video game experience, but its story and art direction are nothing short of fantastic.

If you can look past the flaws, it’s definitely worth a play.

We Happy Few is heavily flawed though still ultimately enjoyable adventure romp through 1960s dystopian Great Britain.

We Happy Few is going to go down as a cult hit.

We Happy Few is an ambitious open-world survival game that does not benefit from being one.

Much like the dystopian world in which it is set, We Happy Few never feels quite right.

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.

If you’re prepared to stomach the game’s less appetising sections, you’ll still get a little Joy out of We Happy Few.

In its launch state, however, We Happy Few pleases the eyes and ears, but much like the fictional drug it features, the Joy is great… until it wears off.

If you’re willing to stick it out, you’ll be rewarded with a good story that was only let down by weird design decisions and flawed execution.

We Happy Few distracts far too much from its true potential as a dystopian gaming classic.

There's a brilliant game that mixes peril with colourful exploration inside We Happy Few, but it's buried under flawed systems and bugs.

A joyless and confused mix of BioShock, Fallout, and Rust that wastes its intriguing setting on repetitive action and tedious survival mechanics.
