we happy few is a game that i wouldn’t rush to tell anyone about but if asked i’d definitely say i loved it. most of the negative reviews here on steam are about its “wonky mechanics” regarding the stealth and combat. i can see where the criticism is coming from. the stealth is indeed unreliable, but not punishing. it’s rather easy to get out of sight/combat. but if you do decide to engage in a fight i’d say it’s not challenging, but kind of goofy? but if you keep in mind that in this game there are no “monsters”, only regular people that you are hiding amongst, trying to blend in, pretending to be one of them. playing stealthily makes much more sense so i think the poor combat isn’t that big of a deal. for me at least it didn’t affect my gameplay at all and i was able to enjoy the story regardless. and that is actually what people tend to overlook. we happy few has an amazing concept with good character writing. the dystopian world is beautifully presented. i really liked the whole drug, masks and fake happiness thing. so many lies, so much sorrow hidden away. you could really see the effects of the war and the futile attempt of the government to cover it up and pretend like nothing ever happened. some side quests were pretty amusing too, like a fever dream, i mean you are taking drugs after all. i also really enjoyed the different characters and their arcs, each had a unique touch integrated into their gameplay. not to mention the amazing voice acting! i’m kind of upset that this game didn’t perform well, which means there won’t be a sequel. such a shame as there’s so much more that could be explored, so much potential.. but if you do decide to give it a chance and play this game regardless of its negative reviews, focus on the story rather than the combat and i’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

I made like 3 attempts at this game in the past. It's an awesome idea for a game, but I agree with what most of the negative comments are saying. The world is so completely unnecessarily bigger thant it should be it's actually painful. Even at the beginning you have to run through a pretty empty world. There is a house you can loot here and there, and city offers much more, but the world is tedious. The AI of cops is also terrible. You can just pretty much always hide in a trashbin and they will never find you. I even tested it by taunting them and hiding in the exact same bin multiple times, but they didn't manage to find me. All in all, concept is cool, quests are kind fun, but some aspects of physics, AI of NPCs, oversized world for absolutely no reason made the game unpleasant tbh. I will give it a positive review, but I wish steam would finally add neutral ones.

Even though this game has its many flaws, it is still by far one of the best games I have ever played in my life. It is beautiful in so many ways. The soundtrack is mesmerizing. The environment is stunning, both in the Parade and Garden District. The story is incredible. The characters are memorable. The only thing holding it back was the gameplay itself and its many bugs.

Feels like everyone nags about a few bugs like it is game breaking but the story and style is where this game shines, i never felt any big frustrations at any bug, and this has been one of the greatest games i've played in a long while, strongly recommend.

This game is a buggy mess at the best of times and that's alright because beneath all the janky ♥♥♥♥ lays a depressing and interesting set of stories between three very flawed characters, I recommend this game for the story and art design along with the music, not for the gameplay
