    I'm incredibly grateful to have played this on Gamepass so as not to spend any actual money buying it.

    Technical: - The graphics are hideous and it runs like a steaming pile. Too many colors all in a washed out greasy haze, can't differentiate between anything in the environments.

    Technical:

    - The graphics are hideous and it runs like a steaming pile. Too many colors all in a washed out greasy haze, can't differentiate between anything in the environments. The same 4/5 enemies reused over and over and over and over again. The same NPC model reused over and over and over and over again. Frustrating UI, terrible level design.

    Writing: If you have to include an option from the get go to have your characters and enemies shut the hell up for two seconds maybe consider right off the bat how asinine and grating your writing is? Repeating the same sentence ad infinitum with stuttering, mumbling and throwing in zany pseudo baby space talk ending in "oopy, gooby, zoopy" etc is exhausting to listen to. There's no structure, jokes or cleverness to any of it, just "HEY WOW LOOK HOW ZANY THIS ALL IS" and then on to the next vomit inducing set piece. Absolute pure garbage    … Expand

    A lowbrow Rick and Morty clone with pseudo-intellectualism as its main offering. Graphics are nice but prepare to lose brain cells with every minute of play.

    An adorable FPS that looks like a cartoon and plays like a wonder. Witty humour, variety, top notch graphical compartment and wonderful characters. This is a 10 out of 10 hands down.

    Cons:

    * Game is literally unplayable as it will not allow me to rebind the keys. I even Googled how to modify the input.ini file to manually re-code the keys and that didn't work, either. If attempting to modify the bindings in-game, it just gives you a message that you can do it once you're in the game...and I tried that, too - loaded up a game, and once the level started, I went right    Cons:

    * Developers are using Epic Online Services with this game. I don't allow connectivity to Epic's servers from my network. No exceptions - I'll always play games "somewhere else" when Epic Online Services is integrated into the game.

    Pros:

    * None - literally unable to play the game due to the issues with rebinding keys.

    Game Length: Unknown - unable to complete.

    Cant stand the annoying voices or how often they say some stupid Morty line i’ve heard 1000 times already in the same voice. Great concept for a game, HORRIBLE execution.

    Welp it’s a game…. So outdated, some enjoyable nostalgic moments and some minor laughs but most of it was a slog.

    This is a generic combat/shooter game where the stupid has tried unsuccessfully to take the humour seen in the Rick and Morty series and slap it onto a game, unfortunately it just doesn't work it feels like they are just trying to hard. It reminds me of the failings of Borderlands 3 compared to Borderlands 2 inters of the humour failing flat. As the humour is one of the main "selling points", the so-so combat, mediocre performance and visual fidelity really don't help.

    Overall, maybe pick it up and play if you want a short shooter/platformer to play, but temper your expectations, and consider other games first.    … Expand

Cluttered with at times annoying, "busy work" quests, funny ha ha sequences you have no choice but to watch and oddly overdone, pedantic tutorials, you wished would just get out of the way.

    In summary, I have not warmed to High On Life. Its fussiness and clutter, get in the way of what should be a no holds barred, zany shooter.    … Expand

    Full of insults to religions which is totally unacceptable.
    We were waiting for a good experience, not a game that is trying to offend me and my religion.

    I couldn’t play the game long it was irritating and just boring, the weapons telling me what to do while I was doing it and telling me to go over there when I was exploring constantly was awful. I tried several times to like it but even with weapon chatter off it was just a dull game.

    The game banks it all on the popularity of a different work written by the same people (Rick and Morty) and does nothing to make a fun or at times even playable game. The gun play is slow and unsatisfying, and the modification system does little to help that. For a game thay is primarily a first person shooter this is a mortal sin.

The gun play is slow and unsatisfying, and the modification system does little to help that. For a game thay is primarily a first person shooter this is a mortal sin. The game play itself is the farthest you can get from being innovative with literally every facet being recycled from older games that almost universally did it better. It's not all negative, though. The writing IS good, and prompted a hearty chuckle at times. The scenery is well made and colorful, and the level design functional and has a decent flow.

    Final verdict: good in every area that a player doesn't interact with. Bad in every way that makes it a game. They should stick to writing shows/movies.    … Expand

    Big Rick and Morty fan, not the biggest fan of this. Probably because I like Dan Harmon's humor a lot more than Justin Roilands.

    Story and characters are mediocre. Story might not matter much in comedy but characters do Jokes hit a little less than half the time and there are a ton of them, it's a bit annoying and the ones that do land aren't the type to make me actually laugh.

    Jokes hit a little less than half the time and there are a ton of them, it's a bit annoying and the ones that do land aren't the type to make me actually laugh. I thought the voice acting was good tho so it's really just a bit annoying and I'm not begging the characters to shut the **** up like I was with Borderlands 3.

    Gameplay is okay, standard FPS gameplay with nothing that really sets it apart. Decent mobility and guns but lacking in enemy variety.    … Expand

    Really aggressively mediocre shooter gameplay. Like just plain boring and the movement items are great because you can get past all the boring combat. But then your stuck either listening to the guns non stop even when adjusting the settings to make them shut up. Or stuck with the game wasting your time with either stupid gameplay or conversations.

    High on Life works better as a sitcom about weird aliens than it does as an FPS. [page 46]

    Humor is the most important thing about High on Life. It single-handedly decides about how you will feel about the game. If it works for you, everything should.
