Well... sometimes it pays off to play a game very late.
I started We Happy Few recently on an Xbox Series S. I play on a 1440p screen and the game runs super smooth at 60FPS all the time. I didn't experience any technical issues or game breaking bugs.
I just finished the 1st act, playing as Arthur, and clocked in about 60hrs! I did every sidequest and explored literally every square inch of the game. I can't wait to go on and play the other two storylines.
So, if you have a Series S or X or a decent PC, I say give this game a chance. Otherwise you may miss out on a unique experience.
