Looks like a good game?

"As someone who enjoys game development as a hobby, I often look at game studios and their choices regarding original IPs. Many tend to follow trends rather than focusing on creating quality content, which I understand since money can be a strong motivator. However, this game seems to break away from that pattern, and I think that's great. Offering a $40 game without pushing a political agenda is a promising move for this company." let me now how how you feel. Thanks love you all!

I'm playing it on Xbox series X and its actually a good game. Music is good, graphics are good, Story is interesting, combat is average, but when you look whole package its nice and polished.
Don't know why microsoft don't make any marketing campaign.

It's so much fun. Just beat gator. Fun boss fight.

The only people I see crapping on it are the usual private profilers and the types that hate games that have anything but white male protagonists screaming DEI when they really want to throw out slurs, youtube reviews so far have been pretty positive, I ignore IGN's nonsense. The main negative thing I've seen is combat is basic but then a lot of games combat is basic when it's focus is story

Has anyone here played We Happy Few? How does this fare compared to it?

A completely different genre and atmosphere. This one is a classic 3D action adventure with platforming and magic. Heavy emphasis on story and lore.

I was looking for more of a comparison in quality, than a direct one. Combat, writing and characters to be specific.

That's... a really strange comparison. What made you think that?

What game are you looking at? Definitely not this one. I could try to criticise the game, but I'll likely get thing for discrimination or something. Very. I can technically say whatever I want.
