I kind of wish We Happy Few explored its Second World War a bit more, based on what little we know it's very different from the OTL with Rommel becoming Führer of Germany at some point before 1943 after actively partaking in a successful Operation Valkyrie that killed Big H, and it doesn't end until 1948 with the Soviets taking Berlin.

This game is always going to have a place in my heart. I love the game stylization, I love the storyline, I loved the immersion. It has *many* flaws, but it also had a unique feeling to it that no other game has ever given me. The only real crime was when they signed with Gearbox. This game could have been so much better if Gearbox hadn't come in and rushed the work while pushing so much DLC/add-on bs. If Compulsion Games had actually had time to work on it at their own pacing, so much more could have been done. And even so, I am not mad at this game. It's one of my favorites. Always will be.

I have 46.3 hours precisely on my Steam account in this game and I finished the main story and I actually loved the game and voice acting and many of The Mechanics. granted I haven't played the game since 2021 which I can also see on my Steam account and stuff you are bringing up I definitely agree with. but I cannot shake that I actually love the game for what it is, I think it also helped that I managed to buy the game for 60% of maybe more? anyway I can sadly not finish this video because this might be false memories but your video is tainting my rose colored glasses from when I played. but I did like your video👍

I remember this game, I watched the whole play through when it was out. Don't know if I enjoyed the play through or just occupying my time.

Yknow your skill points allow you to get certain skills such as making you invisible to Bobbie’s at night or the “oh you!” Skill where everyone in Wellington wells overlooks your obnoxious behaviour meaning you can run and jump without anyone getting suspicious

I am the only person on earth who loves this game I swear to god

i played it and i liked it . its a story and its nice only thiing is they should hade made rachel 18 if they dont want to pass a message

The soundtrack was fire tho

What I find weird about health bars is like… They exist internally already in *most* games, weapons can’t have damage variations without a health bar, why do they think a health bar requires that headshots do nothing? Oh… less scripting, yeah that makes sense, it’s not a “trend” to be an RPG, more so, it’s a coverup. I found it tolerable in Far Cry New Dawn however, in Watchdogs Legion, and Far Cry 6, it was god awful, ND had better weapon scaling and was built off the already fun far cry 5, though 3 is peak.

How dare Arthur not go to *Auschwitz* and then be drugged and have his perception of the world change to a point where he likely doesn’t understand his girlfriend getting Cosby’d daily, clearly that’s his fault, grrr, Flint Michigan I’m looking at you.

10 out of 10 victory spams: we hope it's not soylent again.

Wow Arthur is a real dick.

Ngl, this just felt like whining

"the worst game" is kinda far man i like it alot

The devs were into something with such a high concept. Too bad their writers were not up to the task. The game got heavily carried into the mid status because the voice actors did a very good job.

I’m currently on the 3rd act towards the end and I love it but mostly due to the compelling world and lore.

tbh you pointed out something which yea it really strange guns in the UK are pretty rare but during an corporate Authoritarian take over shouldn't they be even more rare lol

I got we happy few for the plot, and stopped playing cause of the gameplay. The best part of the game was the linear part right at the beginning. If they had just kept the entire game like that I imagine it would've been one of the best games of 2016.

the money went to sweet baby, heard they/them were detected and i instantly understood why the game was so bad

Honestly the biggest missed part they could have done would be that you could be forced to take way more joy more often, and each time you overdose on it they could regenerate the map then instead of during each of the sections. The map changing would fit so much better and make sense then

Great video! I'm fascinated by this game, it's always nice to hear someone talk about it.

We happy few is bot the worse the dog, I love that freaking game no what happen was they had a masterpiece of a game, questioned their idea, then out of uncertainty and not being very confident they stopped about half way through 😂😂 like bro I love the game I wish they saw it through. I wish they had completed it, added guns, and fine-tuned the combat, and the game would be complete. I hold out hope they do something with we happy few from my support of the game which I still plan to keep.

I hate how this game is basically just the Giver. In fact don't waste your time playing it just watch and/or read the Giver.

lol at the nahtzee boogieman trope, hilarious devs still try this shit while Brits today are literally living in a dystopia lacking in free speech with a government that hates native brits and is actively trying to replace them with outsiders.

So...Pathologic but bad? Neat

I really just found Arthur to be so unbearably insufferable even if the game and story were overall good I'd still not enjoy it. He's not even an interesting jerk he just feels like a wet blanket of a character who hobbles around never really developing or improving. If he became better there'd be some sort of point to his story. It's like every time something interesting might happen the game slams it down and nothing will really come of it. At least if he realized how wrong he was about Sally and tried to improve and her actually helped her there might be something to latch onto but he's like a void of a character who's only interesting point is shown to you early on and the game just kinda sits on it.

This is an unfortunately mixed game; the voice acting and creativity/plot are incredible, but the actual gameplay/mechanics/plot holes/glitches really weight it down. It had the potential to be an amazing game.

Fantastic video! I knew you were going to bring up Pathologic 2 when you played some of the OST in the background, I just had a feeling.

Commenting for the algorithm <3

i LOVE this game and think peopel were too critical of it,it deserves a revamping or sequel imo. the entire setting was genius and unique the artstyle was also very well done, the voice acting was grand <3

When this game was announced I was excited for it. I thought it would basically play exactly like a bioshock game and i still think the story and world would have fit that type of game play wonderfully.

I was a backer for this. I was a teenager when I did so and I got beta testing. Watching this bc I never actually played bc beta was so incredibly frustrating lol. It’s been like 10 years. I’m almost out of my 20s 😢

I have way too many criticisms based on meagre observation but it firmly falls into that classic of being a few great ideas that had nothing in common cobbled together and immediatley falls apart because theres no foundation. British bioshock isnt a bad idea, Pathologic inspired gameplay and open world dystopia retro punk isnt a bad idea, a parody of a country is eh but it can be done. But unless you have all of them tigthly combined and ready to launch from inception then you're fucked. its so much harder to fix a foundation by building up and outward unless you destroy it and start over with the same materials.

Glad you got a hit. Your quality warrants more views.

As I would say, and like the RUclipsr howard said. “A good story.. Weighed down by a pathetic game.”

another banger. see you in a another year. 🫡

I'd read a book based on this story or something similar. I'm a habitual cut scene skipper, I don't read anything or pay attention to dialog when playing games. I have no idea what's happening, and I don't really care to know if I can't read the lore from an outside source like a book. It's the only reason i know halo lore lol The story looks really interesting. Do any of yall have recommendations for similar stories?

I forgive you.

The way I was literally thinking to myself "wow the occasional bright spots in this game kind of remind me of Pathologic" and then you mentioned Pathologic lol. But of course, while Patho 1 and 2 draw from the same well of survival mechanics, they not only feel relevant there (if you fail to scavenge enough resources you can and will die, but you're also juggling your time between dumpster diving and a million other objectives, creating a great feeling of pressure that it sounds like WHF lacks) but also tie back into the gameplay loop. I think a lot of that has to do with the game's willingness to commit to a linear story and a "closed open world" map. WHF attempts to go both story-driven and procedurally-generated at the same time, which imo kneecaps the effectiveness of either mechanic.

i just want to say something about the running(if someone hasnt said this before) there is a Perk you can get called "Oh you", but i can understand why its easy fo miss since the game makes the perks really really annoying due to a certain path you can follow and the amount of side quests you need to do over the game to the point when you do get it. Its basically not even useful anymore Other than that!, This video is basically perfect and as someone who played we happy few multipr times and began to see the flaws on my second playthrough, So yeah Great video! subscribing to see what other great videos you got in store!

The art direction 10/10 gameplay 2/10 story 4/10

I think I share the same thoughts as many others that have played this in that it was a good idea. The concept and lore sounded really interesting and coins have been a deep lore driven story. The execution however… well it could have used just a bit of tweaking, to say the least.

The thing with this game is its concept is clever but pacing and gameplay arnt

As a classic Roguelike fan, I was really excited with the fiest version we saw, because it really seemed to promise the grit and sparce resources of the roots of the genre, without being bogged down with the Survival/Craft craze of the day, in an action format. Heck, as a NetHack fan in particular, seeing actual, smiling, dystopian Cops coming at you is a delightful throwback to the Keystone Kopps who can come at you with reckless abandon in the OG RL, with tons of cream pies and zero mercy. Even the Joy kinda felt like the Hallucenagen effect that was a staple of old Roguelikes, but taken to their logical extreme. It just... felt more *right* than most modern games that just use "Roguelike" rather haphazardly. (Not that there's anything wrong with Rogue*lites,* there's a reason they're so damn popular, but I see them as having earned their own identity by now, and I crave more misery in my gameplay mechanics apparently) So that was all exciting enough. But then, as it turned out, it seemed like they were torn in two directions between the Survival gameplay and the story they wanted to tell, and made a lesser product by trying to cater to both, until they settled in to the plot proper for the DLC. As much as I just said I liked the original experience sneak peek, I honestly would have way preferred a totally story-driven release first, with an endless/challenge mode follow up. Or at least have the two distibguished. We're never going to get that Roguelike vibe back, and it just didn't have to be that way. It feels like it was a victim of this pack of transparency in our modern business practices- you're supposed to shoot for the maximal outcome, and insist that it WILL be what happens even if things are flagging behind scenes instead of just being realistic, and ensuring quality.

i really love this game, and i havent watched the vid yet but my only critique right off the bat is how quickly becomes a walking sim. It had great potential but turned into a bunch of fetch quests. Once you have the upgrade that allows you to run in the city without it affecting others, you've beaten anything hard about the game

The date is literally on the calender on his desk.

Why do the Nasties want British 12 year-olds? And also not anyone older? Does being 12 and 10 days make you a worse solider?

What happens if you just take the pill at the start?

I remember having a good time with Arthur’s campaign. It really peaked with his story. I still had some fun after that, but the game was definitely starting to overstay its welcome. Still, I wouldn’t call it a bad game. I’d give it a 7 or 8/10. Granted, I did get the game on sale. Haven’t played the DLC stuff yet.

I am currenty playing the worst game I think I've played to see if there's anything at the end of it. This seems like perfect second monitor content.
