We Happy Few: quirky gamer set in 60s Britain

[editor]

I'm not much of a gamer but this one looks fantastic

From the independent studio that brought you Contrast, We Happy Few is an action/adventure game set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative 1960s England. Hide, fight and conform your way out of this delusional, Joy-obsessed world.

Yeah, it looks very interesting - reminiscent of Bioshock in its' aesthetics. Looking forward to it.

Looks interesting if a little derivative of the aformentioned Bioshock. Sort of Bioshock mixed with A Clockwork Orange, which makes sense aesthetically. Looks a bit 'story' for me though

Looks very similar in aesthetic to Contrast which they also made. Tbh, I thought that looked better than it played, but interesting enough.

Reading the articles it's more the Prisoner meets Clockwork, and its a stealth exploration game. Anyway I fucking love Bioshock...

A 'stealth exploration' game? Is that like sneaking around scavenging stuff?
So you don't get to shoot anything to bits?

Boo! I want to shoot things to bits. I found all the finding in games like Fallout the least interesting thing to me.
I want a game that's called simply Massacre.

If you just want total carnage, then get Doom, or one of the Serious Sam games.

Can you get Doom on modern consoles then?

If it's a British setting you're after, you should check out Everyone's Gone To The Rapture.

There's no guns, which I like.

It's a very realistic environment and was quite enjoyable to wander around but the story was rather underwhelming.

Been watching the development of this one for a while as I follow jim sterling and he showed some of the early game play (he now also has a voice acting role in it)

It looks intresting.

Hippy!
