    Not too many shooters make me laugh as much as this game. this game is definitely Rick and Morty at it best

    Guns need more variation, loved the story and quests. The world and graphics were visually appealing, with action, comedy, all packed in one metroidvania esque game. You fight a lot of the same enemies (in many shooters), but offer unique bosses and that classic Rick and Morty punchlines! Would recommend to wait until it goes on sale for less than $40.

    Fun. That is all I want in a game, most times. If you like the humor in it, you will love it. You can also quiet down the talking guns and enemies to some extent.
    Fact: a game that truly takes you away from your daily worries and helps you unwind and relax, and laugh. Beautiful!

    Awesome game with good fighting mechanics and a pretty average story but the strongest selling point is the comedic dialogue between characters which any gamer with a sense of humor will enjoy.

    El juego más divertido del 2022. Con un entretenido sistema de FPS, exploración y puzzles, High On Life es una experiencia hecha para empaparse del característico humor de Rick And Morty. Vale la pena comprarlo o jugarlo en Game Pass. Además, la opción de sincronización de datos entre Xbox y PC es maravillosa.

    If you enjoy Justin Roiland brand humor you will have a lot of fun with this, almost constantly enjoyable as long as you like the Rick and Morty style of an everchanging mashup of dumb stuff. One of the better first person shooters mainly due to it's style and how hard it leans into its humor, which can be why it isn't for some people.

The star of the game is the humour, delivered with a familiar cadence from the co-creator of Rick & Morty. The shows on the random tv screens around the hub world are hilarious. There are times you can just lose time watching them all as there are tonnes shows and a few 90's movies in there too (in their entirety!).

    The game-loop is no slouch either, with an addictive and satisfying feel. The bad? I've not run into any glitches yet personally. Aiming can be a bit hit-and-miss (literally). Also down on the D-pad to crouch as default is a crime! Give it a try if you're a fan of Adult Swim humour and engaging action games.

The game is definitely not without drawbacks. Its technical condition is not perfect, when you get a new gun, you get tired of it pretty quickly, some jokes are not that funny, and so on. But even taking into account these disadvantages, I will not call it a bad game in my life, it is very good and fun, just to spend a couple of chill evenings.… Expand

It feels like being inside a Rick and Morty world with the same humour aswell. You never feel alone with your gun constantly random stuff to you all the time. There is tons of random small Easter eggs you'll find if you go exploring. Overall the game was mostly bug free which is uncommon these days. At 1 point my gun wasn't in my hand properly but reloading checkpoint fixed it. I also walked into a couple scenery items and they fell through the floor but this was more funny then anything. But other then that it was all good. I really hope we get more Squanch games. The fact this is their 1st title is awesome.

I never thought that the dialogue was tiresome during my playthrough, and I found myself laughing audibly without realizing. The shooting mechanics were simple enough to start, but as more guns were introduced, there was a surprising depth to it. The bosses have not been punishingly difficult, but far from pushovers. My gripe right now is I feel like the non-combat hubs are not that lively, or have too much to do in them besides making a purchase or two. Overall, really enjoying this game.… Expand

    As much as I enjoy the world of High on Life and Justin Roiland it's just not enough to keep playing.

    Missions are uninteresting, too long and vague.

    Game has a lot of dark humor. I laughed at how absurd everything is. Ran smooth, no issue on PC.
    Didn't play it on launch but glad I got around to it. The game has some platforming, and is a more mature themed Ratchet like game.

    I struggled as to whether to give this game a “9” or a “10” and ultimately went with ten. It’s just too good to not reward even if I don’t think such a niche game can appeal to everyone that a “10” should. It’s amazing. FAR too much effort goes into dissecting whether it’s “funny” or not, which is largely beside the point. It’s like trying to argue about whether Earthbound is “funny”.

    A very special experience which reminded me why I enjoy gaming so much. High on Life is an absolutely insane game, with some of the weirdest characters and dialogue you'll ever encounter in a video game.

The humour won't be for everyone, but I found it hilarious, and it's definitely one of the main selling points of the game, but it's far more than that, High on Life's attention to detail is top notch and made the whole game feel polished to a degree a lot of games simply don't get to these days.

    The visuals are stunning, with an incredible art style and the audio doesn't disappoint either, with a frankly ridiculous amount of top quality voice work, I often found myself standing still for minutes at a time listening to NPC conversations, the world feels so alive. The gameplay while simple was very enjoyable, and there's just enough depth to keep it interesting, with a ton of upgrades to unlock for your weapons, which just happen to be wise cracking aliens BTW.

    Performance was solid for me, a locked 120fps was possible at 1440p with an RTX 3080, and everything worked how you'd expect it to, no nasty surprises or weirdness. I was a bit surprised the game lacked DLSS and FSR though, those would have been nice additions.

    Overall I enjoyed my time with High on Life immensely, and I would recommend it to anyone. It had me laughing throughout and one scene in particular was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen in a video (the dying moplet).    … Expand

    It is like a combination of The Simpsons and Borderlands. A bit like Trover Saves the Universe. To be honest I didnt enjoy any of these. But somehow I like High on Life. The characters, locations, graphics and music make it a nice audio visual experience that you get dragged into. It is certainly not the typical call of duty like First Person Shooter, but something a lot more creative. InIt is like a combination of The Simpsons and Borderlands.

    Extremely fun game! 
    Yes, gameplay is just ok, not too good not too bad, but it's the funniest game I ever played.
    If you want gags after gags after gags for several hours this is just perfect. If you want complex gameplay, brain activity or other serious things look somewhere else.

    A brilliant and fun video game. Stupid, fun, piss taking and poking fun. Decent gunplay, original soundtrack...quality overall audio and visually creative and designed. Brings me back to when games were fun and random. Unfortunately some woke reviewers and do gooders clearly were offended by this game but it's a fun and solid shooter and one of 2022 better games by far. Played on a good PC.

    I finished High on Life yesterday. I did everything that the game has to offer and it was worth every second of it! If I can say 3 things about this particular one:
    1) I will miss it a lot, especially the characters.
    2) it's by far one of the best games I've played this year. 3) it is what a video game should be. I can see this game getting a fair amount of negative reviews, although    I finished High on Life yesterday. I did everything that the game has to offer and it was worth every second of it!

    3) it is what a video game should be.
    I can see this game getting a fair amount of negative reviews, although it is currently the most popular game on Game pass and also it's in the 3rd place as the most played game ever - again on Game pass. High on Life is quite similar in structure to old video games like Rachet and Clank or Sly cooper. You have worlds that you travel and visit often, each world is quite open and at the end of each one they have a final boss fight. You are a little kid whose mission is to "clean" these bosses and save the world from the alien threat. At your side you have different weapons that you get gradually and these come with different upgrades that you buy little by little as you progress through the game. The same weapons are 80% of the characters of High on Life since they are aliens who are able to speak and were made to kill.
    High on Life is made by the company Squanch games and the Co-Creator of Rick and Morty - anyone who has seen the series knows what kind of humor to expect here! I am talking about humor because the game itself is based on this and on the dialogues that the characters have with each other. Since we're talking about characters, I have to mention that I loved the whole cast, which, while it's not big, I'll miss them all - really, every single one of them. The Soundtrack of High on Life is also very strong, fitting, exactly what it needed to be to stick with the whole "alien world" theme.
    As for the story, as I mentioned above, we are dealing with an alien threat! We know more or less what to expect but the dialogues are so well worked, honestly you are never bored of it.
    Last but not least the game has a lot of easter eggs, so DON'T listen to those who say that its duration is 6-7 hours only. I was expecting that too, but in the end I needed about 15 hours to see everything. Trust me, finding its easter eggs, it makes the whole experience even more enjoyable so please don't ignore them.

    I recommend it 100% if you like games with dark/satirical humor and a structure reminiscent of the games we used to play as kids. It easily made it to my most favorite games list!!    … 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.

    Mediocre shooter sustained by its incredible, gritty humour - but only if you're open to it.
