A really cool concept, I struggled to get into it though. Essentially the game is clicking random boxes to find out information about a person, then when you hit a threshold of knowledge you can abduct them to please your god. Then you have to dissect them in a certain way based on the information you've collected. Sounds interesting on paper but ultimately its clicking random boxes for pretty boring information and then being quizzed on it, rinse and repeat.

A shame for me.

It's fine, it's simple and I completed it in just under an hour, but its a fun little story of tragedy and woe with Frankenstein mixed in. It killed a bit of time, but I got it for 80p, the puzzles are by far too easy.

Do you like boring unbalanced (impossible to balance) gameplay? Do you like pay-to-win? Do you like players who have played the game longer having technical advantages over you simply because they've played longer? (rather than advantages in skill/understanding the game?) Do you like games where everything is locked behind a paywall, despite the initial offerings of the game being extremely shallow? Do you like a game that implemented predatory mechanics to squeeze money out of players who bought the game at release and were misled into thinking the game would receive content updates? (That werent movie tie-in character purchases) Then Dead by Daylight is for you, however, it is not for me!

This game is unplayable, runs far too hot on the CPU and under-utilises the GPU. Shame.

Looks like a cool game but lag, freezes, FPS drops and all manner of stutter during bike riding makes this game completely unplayable. No my CPU is not bottlenecking, none of my components are reaching capacity. Yes I am playing on an SSD and yes every background process and overlay and xbox game microsoft guff has all been disabled.

I would waste my time being shocked that a game thats been around for so long hit the shelves in this condition, Im just exhausted by the frequency with which it happens. This issue has been prevalent since the release on PS4, working only for those who purchases the PS4 pro. If you needed more proof that console floggers couldnt give a rats rectum about your brand loyalty.

Mmm thats what I call a high quality console port, unplayable in just the right way. Refunded.

Developer is a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥. ♥♥♥♥ him and this game.

Really interesting, atmospheric Lovecraftian game that I sadly have yet to complete; it's very difficult to immerse yourself in a game like this when your computer fans immediately max out, start screeching and I swear once one of them was bleeding.

My computer plays frost punk at 65 degrees C max with 144fps and no stutter but this game is so horrendously (un)optimised, that despite the fact it's mostly you walking around an empty house it gets to 90 degrees C with 50-55 fps and my whole system feels like its going to melt through my desk and sterilise me.

So yeah. Not great.

Turns out when it says "song of horror" it means your fans go "vvvvvvVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

It's like a lament, like the fans are singing a wailing lament because the computer just went out of warranty and they know this game is going to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kill them.

Really would like to finish it one day, perhaps when Elon Musk puts that apartheid money to good use and gives us all our own personal quantum computers in space I'll reinstall Song of Horror. In space no-one can hear your fans scream.

The new ground breaking experience that is L.A. Noire! Explore a vast city of crime and corruption in post world war 2 boom-time America.

Bring order to the streets of L.A. by:

Driving safely, obeying speed laws and stopping where required

Wearing fedoras before people laughed at them

Gently caressing the faces of the deceased

Having PTSD

Looking like Ken Cosgrove from Mad Men, but like a slightly off version? Like when ice cream trucks have Disney characters on them.

Pressing X to doubt

This is a great game. I am not a classic doom fan but it's hard not to enjoy a game that is so polished and puts such effort into balancing challenge against the indescribable satisfaction of hitting your stride and engaging your blood-lust.

At the end of the first level I thought "Wow, I AM ♥♥♥♥ at this".
By the end of the second level I thought "good lord, my mouse is sweaty". But, by the third level I found myself saying "YOU LIKE THAT YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DEAD ♥♥♥♥, CHOKE ON MY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ IMPLEMENTS OF DEATH-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ YOUR SKULL! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A BAG OF GIBS FOR ME TO ♥♥♥♥. BIG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GANGSTA ♥♥♥♥♥".

I really rather think I got the hang of it and the game really got its hooks into me, highly addictive and I totally recommend it.

This game has been released in early beta at best. A great premise ruined by boring, uninspired, generic baby-sit-the-protagonist survival game-play that's been done a thousand times before. It doesn't even do it well. This game was released with, and continues to be filled with, an immense amount of bugged quests and hideous graphical glitches.

The gall of charging £45 for it in this state and then to release a SEASON PASS!? The thin veneer of polish they did have before release was as lazy as it gets, an irritating crafting/inventory system slapped onto the game with the sole intention of slowing down any meaningful progress and *they hoped* stopping the player from notice what a ♥♥♥♥ show it was.

The lack of significant content is staggering, the fact that you see the same 5 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ people over and over and over again, hear the same 2 voices over and over (often different voices come out of the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ person); the fact that there are STILL community forums actively finding workarounds to game breaking bugs!

The early backers have long cut their losses and run but I am still just bowled over that they had the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cheek on them to call this a job well done, a job well done for a 45 quid price tag and a season pass!

Finally, by all means use the authoritarian imagery of post WWII Britain, by all means use Britain's deeply rooted state surveillance and propagandist history as a setting for a dystopian nightmare. Why wouldn't you? George Orwell did it for a reason. I mean lets be clear, this game is basically 1984, I have no issue with that at all in fact it was a big point in the games favour. But its Orwell done badly.

Unless 1984 was just 328 pages of featureless mannequins with flat caps on running around wildly stabbing each other with pool cues going "BLOODY BLOODY HELL BLOOMING BLOODY WEATHER BOBSYOURUNCLEWOTGUVNA IM THIRSTY REFILL THE CANTEEN BLOOMIN HECK". Then I would say it was an Orwellian nightmare done right. But it isn't, We Happy Few is an insult to George Orwell and 1984, it's an insult to videogames as a medium of political story-telling, its an insult to cockney accents and flatcaps and little pills that make you feel good.

It's just total ♥♥♥♥♥.

Contrast was a brilliant game but this is an unbelievable dog-turd, Compulsion games should be ashamed. I know gearbox had a hand in this as well but I can hardly muster the energy to be angry at them anymore, whats the point? This is what gearbox do, they find a nice juicy ripe franchise in the making, polish it up all nice-like, then Randy Pitchford cuts a hole in it and ♥♥♥♥♥ it senseless so nobody else can enjoy it.

But Compulsion Games gave him the knife, they took backers money, they half-made the game, then they took Gearboxes money and then made us all watch while Randy Pitchford ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it senseless.
