    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.

    A shooting game, which is what High On Life is, should be fast and vibrant with a growing sense of urgency and pace. Titles like COD get this but for some reason, HOL doesn't?

    I came to this game hoping for a fast paced, off beat, shooter and initially it seemed to be heading down that track and then everything "slowed down". 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

    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.

    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 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

    I love Rick & Morty, but this game.... Man, i had high hopes. I saw the trailer, i wanted Morties voice in the game, but man was is disappointed. There are some serious performance issues on the pc but lets pretend that everything works fine. The game is utterly boring. Its like a bad shooter from older times.

    Just a big ol' pile of 'meh'. I could excuse lazy, hand-holdy and shallow gameplay if the narrative delivered but the jokes just didn't land with me and the voice acting was repetitive at best and more often irritating as hell. had high expectations based on how funny Trover Saves The Universe was but this is a lemon pie. What a shame.

    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.

    I'm 25 and this makes me feel old. Is this what kids find funny nowadays?

    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

    * 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.

    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

    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.
