    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

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 So outdated, some enjoyable nostalgic moments and some minor laughs but most of it was a slog.

    I don't think rick n morty is that funny. The shooting gets waaay too repetitive ! I was not a fan of this at all tbh.

    This game doesn't have subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese. The publisher just ignored all Brazilians request to put subtitles to understand the game properly.

    But, frankly analyzing the product, the only aspect that makes the game stand out are the smart and funny lines along with the subtle and bold jokes, which are scattered throughout the plot. And the fact that there is no translation into Portuguese ends up destroying the great advantage of the game for most Brazilians who do not understand the languages made available by the developers, fueling the serious misconception of Americans who faithfully believe that Brazilians understand Spanish fluently.

    (Recalling that the Brazilian game market is one of the largest in the world and it is practically unacceptable that an Indie game as audacious as this one that came out at the end of 2022 comes without translation into Portuguese even though it has support for several other languages).

    Looking at the game from the perspective of someone who doesn't understand the language being spoken, it's a mediocre and even tiring game.    … Expand

    I'm 25 and this makes me feel old. Is this what kids find funny nowadays?
    Dialogue is quantity over quality to the extreme (and unskippable). They're trying to tell 100 jokes a minute in the hopes that at least one sticks. At points it felt like the verbal diarrhea was never going to end.

    No spanish dub, and no spanish sub either, only latinAmerican sub. You should put more effort on translating your games.

    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.

    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.

    There is literally nothing good about this game. The gameplay is mid and the comedy is less funny than Amy Schumer. Avoid it at all costs

    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.
