    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.

    This game doesn't quite fit into any of the genres of shooters you might be looking for.

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.

    kesinlikle bir fps oyunu değil
    oyun içi komik diyaloglar ve hikaye üzerine kurulu
    çok güldüğüm zamanlar oldu
    çeşitli silahlar var boss dövüşleri gayet iyi
    çok farklı kafada bir oyun
    seveni çok sever

    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 weopens are like nothing else and they give the feel of amazing game like StrangersWrath..Only issues I had would be with the same issues literally every modern game has, performance and polish.. The game runs at 30fps on SX and has noticable graphical issues...To be fair, with motion blur 30 fps isn't as bad as some other games..

    The game banks it all on the popularity of a different work written by the same people (Rick and Morty) and does nothing to make a fun or at times even playable game.

The game play itself is the farthest you can get from being innovative with literally every facet being recycled from older games that almost universally did it better. It's not all negative, though. 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.

    Final verdict: good in every area that a player doesn't interact with. Bad in every way that makes it a game. They should stick to writing shows/movies.    … Expand

    Esse jogo é muito bom, engraçado e com gráficos bonitos, mas notei a falta de otimização e alguns bugs visuais, fora a parte onde o jogo peca, que é na parte que falta dublagem e legenda em PT-BR pô mano, o Brasil ama Rick and Morty e a dublagem é ótima no Brasil, custava dublar ou legendar?

    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 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.

    Really fun game and nice gameplay, definetly not a masterpiece, but you will have good times and great moments during the campaign.
    I had only one bug during the whole playthrough but the only thing I did to fix it was restart the game, good performance overall. Recommend it to everyone who likes Rick and Morty and shooters such as Doom and Halo.
