    I dont understand the hate, the game is funny, the world and graphics are appealing... the gameplay is mediocre though.

    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.

    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.

    Fun gaming experience. enemies become repetitive after a while but the game ends just before you get bored.

    Initially I was sceptical because of 69/100 critic reviews score, I was thinking that this is just another shooter which tries to attract Rick and Morty fans. For sure I was wrong. This is a great game, I couldn't stop laughing.

    A hidden gem that you may have missed due to expressive art style or dirty jokes. But it's also a good platformer and shooter with vibes of sitcoms of 80s.

Aliens haben wie wir gesellschaftliche Regeln und man kann die Waffen und anderen Aliens sehr oft empören, hab ich immer gemacht, ist lustig!

    Die Waffen haben 2-3 Modi, die im Kampf und in der Welt zum weiterkommen verwendet werden können. Die Story ist echt gut und es macht Spaß immer weiter zu spielen. Die Bosse sind kreativ gestaltet, visuell als auch im Kampf.

    Ich hab das Spiel sehr genossen, kann ich sehr empfehlen!    … Expand

    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.

    Ah High on Life... what a shame about Justin Roiland. I think if the game hadn't come out in the wake of his abuse allegations and legal proceedings, it would have been received better. It's still only a 7.5 game... but critics would have been fairer.

    I personally really like the game, and am a fan of Justin Roiland's voices and characters. I really like the world building, characters, locations, story... it's all around a zany wild ride... and it's almost never boring. It's also not innovating very much if at all. I really went into the game for the look and feel... and was pleasantly delighted by the banter and dialog, story and other game elements. It's just fun to experience. At least... for me it is.    … Expand

    Luego de los últimos parches el juego es una joya. Agrandaron los subtítulos. Me divertí como con ningún otro. Tiene mucho humor y la historia está buena. Me gustó el diseño de los personajes y las armas re locas

    I loved the vibe of the world itself. Overall an amazing shooter, great voice lines, fabulous characters. I'm giving a 9/10 because of the plot and length of the game. Buy it, you won't regret it:)

    If you don't like humour in this game, you won't like it. But I had a blast playing High on Life. Not just for the funny characters and crazy world, but the gameplay is surprisingly very good and addictive. Great experience.

    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

    The game was fun with choices all around the game. The game had 4 actual movies from Hollywood which you can watch entirety. Everything is good but the commentary and whips throughout the game is the best thing in the game.

    Very refreshing and fun game. Great writing if u fun of this humor type even better,
    and also surprisingly good and fast pace combat with some nice movement abilities once u unlock all.

    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.

    I'm going to keep my commentary very brief, for me it's simply the best game I've played in 2022. I had fun the whole time, I laughed like never before in front of a game, so yes it's not necessarily the most intelligent humour, but that's okay.

    First single player game I've played in years that was enjoyable. I don't remember it being severely buggy and I was able to play it without wondering when the game would freeze and break. Sadly we probably won't see anymore of High on Life because of Roiland being a creep, but oh well I guess.

    Juego muy divertido y gracioso con humor negro muy al estilo Rick and Morty, tiene situaciones que te meas de risa y ya lo conoce hasta gente que no es ultragamer. Recomiendo jugarlo, además no es demasiado largo por lo que entra bien

    This game started of really great but then at the end got kind of repetitive. The humor is great and I found myself bawling at some of the jokes and the imagery. This games selling point is not the gameplay but if you don't find Rick and Morty funny or some similar shows with dark humor, this game isnt for you. Otherwise, this game is amazing.

    Fun game and every gun adding up different mechanics to the game. While in some parts the humor it has gets boring but most of the time it has really good humor. Story was OK and boss fights were good. Sometimes these type of games are needed for a short adventure.

    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.

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