    For the sheer joy of a few hours in a wacky world with jokes flying fast and thick, this is well worth playing. As part of gamepass, a no brainer. Delighted to see the fun brought back to video gaming.

    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.

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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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. In the next game they will likely pack a ton more content to enjoy aswell now they understand game development. Expand

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.

    I definitely recommend.

    High on Life is an FPS game from Justin Roiland of Rick and Morty fame. The game's very much focused on comedy, mostly delivered by the different talking gun aliens found throughout, and is very much in line with Roiland's previous work. There's a never ending torrent of dialogue which I personally enjoyed for the most part though others might not if it's not your style of humor.

In terms of mechanics and gameplay the title is quite good, and delivers satisfying battles and exploration. I encountered quite a few bugs and glitches, which was unfortunate though the game does have a fail-safe by including the option to load back to the last checkpoint at any time. One of my favorite aspects of the title is the cast of voice actors, which include a few surprising and fun cameos.

    While High on Life is a bit rough around the edges and the comedic writing is something that some people won't connect with I personally enjoyed the creativity on display and found it to be an amusing and fun experience.

    i don't get the best frame rate in this, and the game simply becomes less fun if you turn the difficulty to anything other than "story". most of the difficulty is in platforming and exploration regardless of what setting you choose, but the boss fights are just not well enough designed to play on "hunter" difficulty.

    that said, the game is really funny, has a surprising amount of easter eggs and cameos, and looks great. there is an entire movie playing in the living room that you can just sit and watch, plus what seems like hours of interdimensional cable playing on monitors all around town. people say the game is short, but nearly every single person you meet can be interacted with for long periods of time to hear them explain more things about themselves or do silly stuff.

    if you do not like rick and morty, you will not find this funny though, and the gameplay itself doesn't exactly warrant the price tag if you aren't viewing it as a sort of interactive media experience.

    Really good game for those who enjoy Justin Roiland's humour. Game looks great, voice acting is of course superb and the gameplay is a lot of fun. There may only be a handful of guns to try out, but they are varied and interesting. Overall a really polished game, I didn't experience one bug during my playthrough.

    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 offers an entertaining experience that doesn't compare to any other game that I've played. Jam packed with dark humor from a star studded cast of comedians the game plays like a movie. Players should expect some flaws as this is an indie game not a AAA title. At times the graphics or gameplay feel a little unpolished, but early patches have helped clean this up.

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.

    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.

    It's fun. Not every game has to be a pretentious piece of art that doesn't dare offend the perpetually offended.

    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 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'.

    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..

    I enjoyed this game. It is pretty funny. The style of humor isn't going to be for everyone. Much of the dialog is typical Justin Roiland adlibbing. It is like 80% interdimensional cable from Rick and Morty (adlibbed) and 20% standard Rick and Morty (scripted). It doesn't have the sophistication or polish of Rick and Morty, showing how much Roiland benefits from the input of Dan Harmon.I enjoyed this game. It is pretty funny.

It doesn't have the sophistication or polish of Rick and Morty, showing how much Roiland benefits from the input of Dan Harmon. There's a lot cheap potty humor and jokes where the punchline is cursing. Those I didn't enjoy quite as much.

    If the humor isn't for you, you probably won't like this game. The shooter aspect is surprisingly good for a comedy game, but unsurprisingly mediocre compared to a AAA shooter.

    It is a little underbaked overall. In particular, there are some ugly bugs. You will probably have to defeat several bosses a couple of times and redo a few sections after a crash. It's annoying, but I was able to get over it after a moments of cursing the developers.

    Other pros:
    There's some really nice Easter eggs and fun little things like funny posters and graffiti to find. Performance is pretty good even on a lower end computer and the graphics are great on a higher end PC.

    Other cons:
    The world feels a little bit empty. There's very little variety in enemies and NPCs alike and there's very few NPCs you can interact with. In some places, especially the urban areas, the level design is pretty bad. There's tons of invisible walls. After a few minutes of exploration it is really easy to get lost and I was rarely able to get my bearings. There are few markers that stand out to keep you going in the right direction and unless you are on a mission, there's no indication of where you need to go to get back on track. This makes exploration tedious because once you get lost, it is a pain to get back to the game hub and move on.

    If you like raw Justin Roiland, you will probably enjoy this game. Otherwise, you will probably not.

    First hours of gameplay was full of funny moments, but while the plot progress it was getting more repetetive almost anoying. Combat was decent. There were many abilities that made combat dynamic, interesting and let you finish opponets in different ways. One thing is sure that this game is trully original.
