    We Happy Few: Roger & James In They Came From Below DLC was quite enjoyable because it contained a lot of creativity in the puzzles and gave me a sense of accomplishment in my time with the game. We Happy Few started in the Xbox preview program and early on the game was good but short on content and after playing the base game this excitement didn’t last long enough either.

We Happy Few started in the Xbox preview program and early on the game was good but short on content and after playing the base game this excitement didn’t last long enough either. Returning to the game for the first DLC in the season pass I was open minded. I’m pleased to say that the DLC feels much more polished than the base game did, and it also features a story that was entertaining throughout. The difficulty can be somewhat unforgiving at certain times, but looking past that you'll find the gameplay contains a great deal of creativity that’s evident when it comes to the puzzle designs that are present in this DLC. There’s also a few new mechanics for you to try as well, and most of these are done well with only the platforming elements seeming to fall a bit short. The combat is is also well done and throw in some fun times. The base game of We Happy Few disappointed me in some ways and elated me in others. The DLC it isn’t perfect affair and it does have a few issues along the way but I feel they’ve took a step in the right direction with the game, and I'm looking forward to the next DLC presented in the season pass for We Happy Few.… Expand

    Pretty poor first DLC. This is completely a combat DLC. There is nothing about the original game that is in this DLC other than combat. You basically run from room to room killing robots.

    The actual story is interesting so kudos there. But the story is just let down by gameplay that completely skipped everything in the original game. It is like the team that built the DLC never played    Pretty poor first DLC. This is completely a combat DLC. There is nothing about the original game that is in this DLC other than combat.

    The fact that you cannot save at all through the DLC is also unacceptable in this modern age. It adds zero value to the DLC and is an insult. I took off a couple of points for this very poor decision. This is especially true since there is an achievement related to reading everything (which I did) but you cannot return to areas, you cannot reload a save or anything if you miss it. Since it saves at its leisure it is quite possible to pick up a collectible and then die and have to resume from a previous area. If you don't pick it up again it won't count. This is completely opposite the original game that saves the moment you pick something up. I ended up having to replay act 1 because of this bad decision.    … Expand

    This new experience will take you a few hours to complete and that feels like the perfect amount of time to spend in this world. It comes across as a very complete package and I enjoyed this encounter hugely; even more so than that of the main game.
