    An amazing comedy game, just nothing like any other. If you’re looking for totally something new and refreshing in a game that’s just so worked out, try this.

If you want a good narrative-driven shooter, the dialogue is fun, but the story or setting is not interesting enough to grab you and keep you interested. The TV in your house starts playing an old B movie called Tammy and the T-Rex. I started watching that, then got angry when it stopped for an interdimensional cable commercial break. That's when I realized I wasn't really that interested in which bounty I was supposed to go hunt next.

    If you're looking for satisfying shooter mechanics, this game doesn't quite scratch that itch either. There's a retro Divorced Boomer Shooter game that you play in the beginning where you have to headshot your ex's new boyfriends while jumping and blowing up explosive barrels, dodging behind cover and stuff. This is more mechanically engaging than the main new-age shooter. Your weapons aren't accurate enough to aim carefully. The highest difficulty is too easy. The boss fights are the only times you have to think very much about where to dodge or what to shoot.

    The boss fights are kind of fun once you get to them, even if they're not particularly challenging. You're probably going to play this game because you like Rick and Morty and the characters are funny and memorable. The game works, is polished, is exactly what you expect from a Rick and Morty game, and there's enough content. It's just not Shooter-of-the-Year and it's not breaking ground in any way.

    Every Game Is Political: This game has been criticized for using AI art generators to make the movie posters on the wall of your room and supposedly one minor character is voiced with AI.    … Expand

    One of the best games I've played in a while. It actually worked on release date. I experienced no bugs and it was just a genuine good laugh. A nice change from alot of broken games that have been released the last few years.

    Год заканчивается на внезапно хорошей ноте, я вообще ничего не ждал от "Кайфарика по жизни".
    Хай он лайф не является каким-то откровением в жанре, она даже не ставит целью увлечь вас каким-то уникальным геймплеем, её цель - это комедийное чилловое приключение в generic космическом мире из какой-нибудь проходной серии Рика и Морти, и, мне кажется, я догадываюсь почему мне удалось проникнуться этой игрой, хотя я ненавижу обычные "ничегоновогонедающие" шутеры, фишка в удачном стечении нескольких факторов:
    1. Огромный недостаток сюжетных игр в комедийном жанре, на ум приходит только Стенли Парабл, или какой-нибудь Juzzpank. Да, в игре есть огромное количество Проходного юмора, просто огромное.. тут шутки буквально на каждом шагу, значительная часть которого ещё и относится к низкой "жопописечной" теме, но главное, что тут есть основная юморная концепция - она основана на раздражении, первые 30 минут сюжета я очень много раз улыбался от того, сколькими способами игра пыталась меня выбесить, вы только посмотрите на этот пистолет и представьте, что он практически не затыкается, причём потом у вас появится другая пушка, они начнут говорить не только вам, а ещё и друг с другом, потом появятся ещё пушки, они все будут с одной планеты, и 3 пушки обидятся на одну по кое-какой причине, и даже ваш нож начнёт орать на вас, если вы будете медлить с убийствами, и это же офигенно!
    А многие будут реально беситься из-за этого и дропнут игру - но это только доказывает, что её юмор работает. В середине комедийный сюжет, конечно, проседает, но всё равно иногда подкидывает что-то, от чего можно улыбнуться. "РикМортовский" юмор оказывается очень хорошо "клеится" к игровому формату, хотя могли бы обойтись и без пошлостей.
    В сюжете даже есть капля драмы и 1 сюжетный поворот, и даже ваши пушки немного прописаны, как персонажи, HOL - примитивная, но всё равно законченная сюжетная одиночная игра.
    p.s. В игре нет русского, и понять все шутки вы точно не сможете, но если у вас не двойка по англу была в 3-ем классе, то суть уловить можно, но, конечно же, с русским языком было бы ещё ах*енне..
    2. Sci-fi - Если вам нравиться космическая "инопланетная" тематика, то вы не захотите выходить из этого мира, да - тут проходные дизайны, копипаснутые примитивные существа, тоже самое с лором, Джастин Ройланд просто накидал пару миров, которые бы норм смотрелись в сериале на фоне, - НО,
    невероятный саундтрек от TOBACCO.. ох, как же он прекрасен..

    Very fun and unique game filled with a lot of parody and unique bosses.
    Shooter elements are there, but mostly to create a background for driving narrative. It is more a parody on FPS games than an FPS game itself.

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.

    It’s actually a pretty good game. Small slowdowns in the main city in PC but overall it’s gorgeous in my opinion. The comedy is subjective. I love it so that’s me. They give you a option to turn the talking down so you can do that as well. Overall a solid game.

    It's not Doom Eternal obviously - the gunplay is lightweight, it's closer to it's Outer Worlds in overall feel. But it's not meant to be a 'meaty' FPS like Doom, nor a twitch shooter (the AI is mediocre to be polite) - no, it's just a fun game with a tongue in cheek,    It's fun.

It lives and dies by whether you like the comedy - I do, I think it works really, really well throughout, so I rate it.

    If I didn't like the comedy, this score would fall rapidly, because as a game it obviously has flaws - but I love the art style, the characters are memorable, there's some genuinely laugh out loud moments throughout and the gameplay is functional if not great.

    It's doing nothing new apart from the humour, and that's its' actual strength - it's a throwback to a 'one and done' game, where a developer had a vision, realised it and released it for people to play and enjoy instead of wondering how to monetise it for five years. An easy recommend for me, especially if you have Game Pass and get it 'free'.    … Expand

At times the graphics or gameplay feel a little unpolished, but early patches have helped clean this up. The gameplay has an arcade-like feel, it's not a super serious shooter demanding laser focus. You should be playing this game for the jokes and silly storylines. Anyone expecting this to be the next Fallout is going to be disappointed, it is not that. But fans of gaming, Justin Roiland, or even just dark comedy will not be disappointed.

    Edit: I completed the story mode last night and need to knock another point off the review. The bugs continue to get worse as you progress through the game. It is not possible to complete everything in it's current state, which is disappointing. I've really enjoyed diving into this world and exploring everything it has to offer. I want to finish everything, but I can't until it's fixed. It's a great game, but like many others now-a-days, we were given a beta. I'm going to go file my bug reports and hope for the best.    … Expand

    Gameplay wise this is the same as a Halo game, the enemies are childish, the guns sound and feel weak, and gets repetitive really fast. But the world building is nice and its funny sometimes.

    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!

    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!

    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 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

    High on Life was stuttering and buggy at launch. The jokes are a hit and a miss. Can get annoying but there is an option to lower the banter between you and the gun. Gameplay is basic. Story is okay. High on Life is an average at best. It's best to play gamepass than paying $60 for it. Not worth it

    Very good. Solid gameplay, a little repetitive yes, but Solid. Nice and great characters, great humor, sometimes too much, but nothing to worry about, just specific moments.

    The story and plataformas helps to mantein the tittle interesting, and the bosses are good or great.
