    The story is meh, but the game is pretty fun, has a few good jokes, and the gameplay is fine too I had fun platforming and shooting in the game is not too long nor too short just fine, overall it's an ok and chill game.

    It is a funny game, but the gameplay isn't that fun in my opinion, I still love it, because it is just like rick and mortu, and I love rick and morty.

    Decent game, has its funny moments but was overall very short and railroaded. I hope they release DLC go extend the sod stories they have going on, but for now, its a low 7

    O jogo é bom, mas brasileiros que não entendem inglês muito bem não irão gostar nem um pouco pois o jogo tem muito foco no humor e nem sequer tem legendas em PT-BR

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A First Person Shooter from the mind of Justin Roiland, who is the co-creator for Rick and Morty. This is the first game from Roiland's company Squanch Games. The game focuses around a protagonist who happens to find himself in the middle of an alien invasion which sees the aliens taking over earth rounding up the humans and using them as drugs to get high on.

    While defending an attack on your house, you get yourself a gun which just so happens can talk to you. You form a bond, and warp you, your gun, your sister and your house of there, and thats where the adventure begins.

    High on Life is a nice looking game, and it has some very interesting characters, especially some of the weaponry you pick up who all have their own distinct personalities… especially the knife.

    The game itself is a classic FPS, it takes me back to a simpler time of Timesplitters but also feels like its mixed itself with newer games like Doom Eternal, and this can be where it slightly lets itself down, because it hasn’t really injected itself with something new. There are different elements of platforming which come into the mix, such as jetpacks, boosts and firing weapons to get to new areas such as the grappling hook, a shotgun that also fires small platforms and a time-altering gun. But that seems to be the whole mechanic of the game, and once you've done that a few times… the fun wears off and becomes a slightly mundane shooter. The guns can also be slightly annoying at times.

    There is plenty of humour in the game though, and it has that Rick and Morty vibe going on, with some really great adverts knocking around on the TVs that are littered around the world. The characters and their personalities are also amusing, and you can tell these have been well established, and they are memorable.

    If you like Rick and Morty do give this a go, Is it worth the £44.99 price tag…I am not so sure, but one thing is for sure, Roilands company released 2 patches already for this game, so they you can tell that they care greatly for the game, and to make players happy. I myself played this on day one, on the PC, and didn’t encounter any issues, which was a bonus. If you own an xbox or PC and do have GamePass, do yourself a favour and play it for free because its on there.

    A good game, but feels and looks like it could have come out about 10 years ago.    … Expand

It destroyed the whole final mission for me, and it was also pretty randomly put out. Just like it was done quickly to finish the game and release. I didn't even notice when I ended the game. Other than that, I had fun. The ending was bad, but the journey to it made me laugh a lot. I would recommend playing it after some bug fixes and optimization.… Expand

    Play this game only if you're interested in some Rick n Morty-style humor, and even that does not come close to Rick n Morty in this game.

    Gameplay is fine. Nothing is new. The shooting is fine, but there are a ton of FPS games much better than this. Metroidvania elements are also shallow.

    Overall just a "fine" experience. Not bad, but not great.

    I've got it from Game Pass. The game looks really good and fun, and I've played it for about 1 to 2 hours and got bored with fairly uninspiring gameplay. Even though I like absurd humor, the one here was hit and miss to me, sometimes making me laugh, other time cringe.

    Entretenida comedia especialmente si te gusta Rick and Morty, fuera de eso es un shooter muy fácil con mecánicas típicas de toda la vida.

    Historia pasable, y un aprobado justito en casi todos los apartados, siendo un juego que perfectamente se podría haber hecho hace 10 años a nivel técnico.

    Propuesta decente gracias al guión.

    6,5/10 - Niezła
    (po graniu 12h i ukończeniu gry)
    Przeciętny gameplay, intrygujący świat, ciekawy humor i średni główny wątek.

    Humor nierówny, momentami rewelacyjny. Bywa niedostosowany do gry, przez co czasem nudzi - brak dynamicznego montażu, rozciągnięte dawki, za mało intensywne.

    Imersja i empatia przeszkadza - sytuacje czasem zamiast "zabawne" są smutne i szkoda osobiście zabijać tych błagających o życie.

    Dużo bluzgów, krwi i mogących wydawać się obrzydliwymi różności.

    Główny wątek fabularny zbyt uproszczony - niezbyt wciąga i kończy się od tak (ale warto odkryć dodatkowe zakończenie).
    Bohater milczy, a inni, w tym bronie, dużo do niego gadają.
    Czasem wybieramy co "powie" bohater i wybory mają znaczenie, ale zazwyczaj kosmetyczno-dialogowe.

    Świat ładny i kolorowy, ale bardzo mało lokacji i często do nich wracamy.

    Dużo niedoróbek.
    Łatwo zablokować się po 1h grania i tu wczytanie save'a nic nie da. Trzeba kombinować, wrócić się, wejść jak najwyżej i skakać bo skraju mapy... lub zacząć grę od nowa.
    Później bywają podobne błędy, ale przy nich pomaga wczytanie gry.

    Nieatrakcyjny system modyfikowania broni/umiejętności - tych opisów nie chce się czytać i łatwo przegapić ulepszenie warte uwagi.
    Modyfikacje broni bugują się przy każdym fabularnym odłożeniu uzbrojenia, czasem przy wczytaniu gry lub odrodzeniu po śmierci - trzeba je ściągać i montować w ekwipunku ponownie.    … Expand

    Gameplay is simple, roaming, shooting, jumping from platform to platform and speaking with weird creatures. Yes is so simple, but not this is core of gameplay. Core is unprecedented sense of humor that flood us from the screen. Is one, big easter egg, parody mechanics from other games. Unfortunate the game is linear, and without this all jokes is only next "Quake". Didn't offer any new solutions or perspective for FPS. Variants of enemy are poor, we have maybe six types of enemy without bosses. Maps are little. Our arsenal isn't impressive, we have a schematic weapons type, but in other, funny, skins. So much that interactions with the weapons is more interesting that shooting from them (yes, them because they have personality).
    Graphics is in cool style between comics and animations like Shrek, so it won't old. High on life has nice textures, good models and artists really did excellent work.
    Another important thing is sound, especially voice acting. Is one of the best acting from all vide games. Actors really know about what is doing on the screen, using a lot of expressions and we can hear a few voice from Rick and Morty. The voices fit to characters on the screen.
    So High on Life is really enjoyable game, can offer a lot of funny moments, but it's only reason that worth to play. If you don't like rude humor, sarcastic people, and unreal plot or if you wanna play in game with good gameplay it isn't game for you. Players who search more tangible world like Rick and Morty will be satisfied    … Expand

    Can be funny if you enjoy Justin Roiland and Rick and Morty comedy. Pretty basic gunplay, not great but fun enough. I beat the main story in a little under 7 hours and there is not much left to do after those 7 hours. Feels a little overpriced at $60 but a fine game to pick up on sale. Trover Saves the Universe is the better game. 6.5/10

    It's a pretty mediocre game with some funny premises and dialogues. The gameplay is very tedious though, the shooter aspect is quite poor, and the dialogues can be tedious to get through, can't skip lines and don't always know if you should wait for more dialogue or action. Someone on reddit recommended to watch youtube clips from the game instead of playing it, and that really says it all...

It's as if you have a bad comic take a set from a well known comedian and screw it up completely, and because of that screw up your realize that there was nothing particularly good about the material but the way the well known comedian told the jokes was the thing that made you laugh.

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.

    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).

    This is a generic combat/shooter game where the stupid has tried unsuccessfully to take the humour seen in the Rick and Morty series and slap it onto a game, unfortunately it just doesn't work it feels like they are just trying to hard. It reminds me of the failings of Borderlands 3 compared to Borderlands 2 inters of the humour failing flat. As the humour is one of the main "selling points", the so-so combat, mediocre performance and visual fidelity really don't help.

    Overall, maybe pick it up and play if you want a short shooter/platformer to play, but temper your expectations, and consider other games first.    … Expand
