Forums - Gaming Discussion - We Happy Few reviews rolling in

pitzy272 on 09 August 2018

I forgot until now this game was releasing tomorrow. I was always cautiously optimistic about We Happy Few. Always intrigued, but never quite convinced. Unfortunately, initial reviews are not great. It currently sits at a 67 on metacritic after 16 reviews. 

MS just bought Compulsion Games and will likely be adding talent and doing some firing, so maybe Compulsion Games’ next game will be better.

Sony discussion?



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I'm sure the game isn't bad, i just love the atmosphere so i will try it anyway.

This seems like a game where I'll watch the cutscenes on Youtube and skip the gameplay.

66 meta.....

What the heck is wrong with MS studios?

Ryse = 60
Recore = 63
Super Lucy Tale = 64
Sea of Theives = 69
State of decay = 67

Now "we happy few" gets a 66? jebus.

And "sea of theives" got a free pass or something, its rated higher than it should be.

Is it too soon to blame MS? xD

Crytek, Armature, and Playful aren't MS Studios.

Out of all the studios that MS announced they had acquired at E3 I found Compulsion to be the strangest choice. Fact is their first game, Contrast, only got a 62 meta, and now we have We Happy Few sitting at a 66 meta. That is not a very good track record. I feel like MS is going to need to layoff some people and then make some smart hiring choices if they want to remold them into a good 1st party studio that can at least hit 80+ on meta.

I think Xbox Spent majority of the money on the other four studios, and just had a chunk of loose change left, but not enough to buy another top-tier studio.

Or maybe they were trying to go for Moon or MDHR, but were denied so Compulsion were the backup.

This game had the potential to be really interesting, but in my opinion the developers shoot themselves in the foot by making it a survival horror.
Maybe its just me, but that made me lose interest in the game.
