The change this brings to the style of the game is a letdown. Don't expect a linear, well-crafted story at the moment (the developers have stated this story will be available at the end of Early Access), rather, you'll be moving from one dilapidated house to the next, foraging for mouldy bread or rotten apples to stave off hunger. We were expecting a game that's similar to BioShock, but ended up with something that's more like Day Z instead. Before you know it, you've escaped your office and are on the run from the authorities as you've refused to take your Joy pills, and the game turns into just another one of the many survival games that we've seen in the past few years. (Also see: Microsoft at E3 2016: Project Scorpio, Gears of War 4, and Xbox Live ) This is made clear in the game's opening minutes that involve those around you devouring a rat that's been bludgeoned to death, while they think it is a piƱata. Everyone around you is willingly (or not so willingly, at times) forced into a state of delusion via a drug known as Joy. We Happy Few has you playing as Arthur Hastings, a man tasked with redacting stories from newspapers. We took it for a spin on the former, and were left rather disappointed. The game is now available for purchase through Steam's Early Access program and the Xbox One's Game Preview. Set in a drug-fuelled alternative 1960s England, We Happy Few stood out for its chilling Big Brother vibe. It was one of the few games on display that wasn't yet another entry in an existing, well-known franchise like Halo or Gears of War. One of the standout moments of Microsoft's E3 2016 press conference wasn't the Xbox One S or Project Scorpio, but rather the gameplay demo for We Happy Few.
