We Happy Few (PC, PS4, Xbox One – Aug. 10)
At first glance of the screenshot above, you may get the idea that We Happy Few’s alternative World War II England setting is a little less dreary and depressing than the real-life alternative. We wouldn’t blame you, but that’s what makes We Happy Few such an intriguing game. You assume control of three different characters as you try and figure out how to escape from Wellington Wells, while also trying to avoid taking the hallucinogenic drug known as Joy that’s resulting in everyone seeing the world as an all-positive Paradise, rather than the dreary mess that it really is.
Players will need to occasionally fight their way through, but for the most part, We Happy Few is about exploring the world undetected and avoiding taking your Joy. It’s unique, eerie, and we can’t wait to check out the full game.
