It's broken. It's not possible to reach the end of the game because there is a mission where you can't progress.I tried to get in contactIt's broken. It's not possible to reach the end of the game because there is a mission where you can't progress.I tried to get in contact with the support, send screenshots, send saved files... When I asked for a solution they said "to check updates patch to see when the issue is solved".So, no ticket number, no nothing... Just a "keep checking for updates".That was 4 months ago... so, the game is unplayable. Have fun with that!

Poor in content, form and substance, Paranoia: Happiness is mandatory involuntarily inscribes itself in the list of games that certainly do not bring the video game closer to the traditional role-playing game, but rather that underline the extreme differences and limits of the medium with respect to the characteristics of the paper versions.

A powerful background and some good ideas are not enough to save Paranoia: Happyness is Mandatory from being a missed opportunity.

The only positive thing I can say about this game is that it convinced me to research the source material. The tabletop RPG is infinitely more interesting than this adaptation because it’s designed for human interaction - hence the name “Paranoia”. When the surprises and betrayals are scripted, the core of the game is missing. Happiness may be mandatory but, thankfully, to play this game is optional.

Paranoia feels like someone got hold of the license and then either couldn’t figure out what to do with it or had a lot of nice ideas that were then horribly constrained by budget and time. Were it budget-priced or still in Early Access, it might be forgivable. But as a full, major release? It’s too short, too annoying, and too uninteresting to recommend to anyone – even the most ardent of Paranoia fans.
