- Spoiler Free! We Happy Few; what is this game and is it still worth it today?
Let's take a look at the game, avoiding spoilers for first time players and see if the game still holds up today and if it is still worth it to pick up.

So, as a rare fan of this game (despite its problems) I have three big suggestions for anyone thinking about playing it.
1 - Do NOT play on "normal." If you're into survival games and/or immersive sims, play on "hard" so that the survival mechanics actually matter and could kill you. Otherwise, play it on "easy" to shut off the survival stuff entirely, which drastically cuts down on the tedious parts. The story and worldbuilding are the best things about this game anyway. The stealth and combat are only so-so.
2 - Don't bother fully exploring the procedural maps, especially outside the city. They're too big, and contain too little extra content to be worth the time totally uncovering the map. And there's too much walking in the game anyway. Just focus on your objectives.
3 - Assuming you buy the DLC - which you should, if you're going to play this - don't play the chapters in release order. Instead, jumping between main and DLC campaigns will help it feel less repetitive. The shorter story-focused DLCs make a nice break from the longer main-campaign episodes. And due to the overlapping and nonlinear storytelling, this actually won't cause any significant plot issues. IMO, the best play order is Arthur, Roger, Sallie, Nick, Ollie, Victoria.
Really like the 3rd suggestion. Wish I had done this in my playthrough. Like I said in the video, I felt like some of the main campaign/story can really drag in places, whereas the dlcs were all really engaging I felt. Flipping between them probably would have been the best way to go, as when you start losing interest you can jump to something more engaging which will likely spark interest in the main story again.
Good reccomendation!
I agree with the first suggestion in turning the survival mechanics up. But from experience, it's better to just play survival mode on permadeath instead of the main campaign if you're just into the survival aspects.
First time on your channel. You're a great reviewer. Really good structure, information is detailed without being tedious, and you give both an objective and subjective view.
Thank you!
We happy few is one of my favourite games it still good to play but I wish they fixed up the world a little more but hey ho good story
I'm still here! (Did you have any doubts...!) #AdamJensen
the game gave me a BioShock infinite feel which is a game i really liked but the open world mechanics for this game and the survival elements turns me down quit a bit so for now this is a pass for me but maybe one day i will come back to it
Definitely very similar to bioshock. It certainly has its own unique way of implementing the style though, and I feel like this one is likely not going to appeal to everyone
The best way to experience this game is to not have any expectations. Don't expect Bioshock or anything. Just except it for what it is.
