I'll play more polished, bigger and more bombastic blockbuster games this year, but We Happy Few will stay with me long after its quests are over.
In We Happy Few, set in an alternate 1960s England, players explore a drug-induced, dystopian society. As Arthur Hastings, a "Downer" who refuses to take the happy pills, players must navigate a grim world, survive, and uncover the dark secrets of Wellington Wells. With a focus on crafting, stealth, and survival, We Happy Few invites players to question their own perception of reality.

There's a great story lurking in We Happy Few, but you'll have to escape some repetitive levels to find it.
