More: 10 Video Games Currently In Development (And 10 That Are Rumored) The title doesn't quite reach the high level of expectation some had, but nevertheless, there's plenty to pick apart for curious players. But, there's still something of a divide between gameplay and setting, and it's here where We Happy Few frustrates.В No one likes being hampered when trying to progress, and sometimes it feels as though survival gets in the way of storytelling, a hangover of that shift from survival sandbox in early access to a more linear experience.Д®ven so, We Happy Few is worth checking out.В It's likely thatВ players can get past this dissonance, and if they can, there's a fabulous yet horrifying world to explore. That's not to say that We Happy Few isn't fun, because it's certainly an enjoyable title. Although Compulsion Games has done aВ good job of transcending traditional craft-and-survive mechanics to create something greater, at its core the remnants of its survival gameplayВ don't gel with what the player may want to focus on. Unfortunately, We Happy Few does have something of a friction between its gameplay and its storytelling and atmosphere. The game is less ruins of the Capital Wasteland and more LittleВ England on a descent into madness. On top of that, there's something almost slapstick about it, from its cartoonish characters through to bizarrely lighthearted location names. We Happy Few isn't quite as grim, though, retaining a caricature-like quality that helps amplify its themes well. Instead, its society and structure is still there,В standing closer to the likes of Brave New WorldВ with its positioning of the player as an other, someone who has fallen into disobedience. This isn't the quite the grim post-apocalypse of FalloutВ or the ruins of Rapture found in BioShock, even though it has some of the same retro aesthetic at face value. It's clear that We Happy FewВ takes some major leanings from some of the classics of dystopian literature, as well. It works well, the player picking up bits and pieces while catching their breath. The game never lingers too long on one character, keeping the basic goals simple and, instead, taking more of a show-don't-tell policy. Within this framework, We Happy Few manages to put together some great world-building and storytelling. Within this, Compulsion Games does a great job of ramping up the tension, as the player wriggles through its haunting dystopiaВ like a hunted animal. However, it doesn't take much to find what makes theВ setting of We Happy Few tick, even when faced with its in-denial denizens intent on crushing any dissent. In short, Wellington Wells is a place of paranoia and grief, its secrets hidden beneath that haze of the drug Joy. Compulsion Games, which was this year acquired by Microsoft, is all too happy to pick away at the hypocrisy of its game world, and it's here that the game's darkly comic position comes through the strongest. In general, the game manages to maintain a perversion of 'Keep CalmВ & Carry On' Britain, all stiff upper lip and pleasantries until that thin veneer is pulled away. Perhaps theВ best element of We Happy Few is just how well it positions itself tonally.

All in all, it's easy to see why We Happy Few has attracted attention for a movie adaptation. The dystopia of Wellington Wells feels like a living, breathing place, one draped in imagery and style.

Compulsion Games has developed a stunning and unique setting, full of rich detail and smoky suggestions of a greater world.

Developer Compulsion Games teamed up with Gearbox Software (of BorderlandsВ fame) to publish the title, but the news didn't take with some of those who had previously supported the game. However, perception would eventually sour a little. Its dystopian setting resonated with plenty, and as such, there was a rush to Kickstarter to help crowdfund the title. The game's initialВ reveal caught huge interest due to its striking visuals, attracting attention from both a style and plot perspective. We Happy FewВ has been on the to-watch list of gamers around the world for some time.
