    -some annoying characters but have some good characters and some bad jokes.

    -good graphic but ruined by blur and chromatic aberation.

    -best part of the game good lvl design, good boss fights, tv shows, good amount of funny jokes and alot of npcs to interactive with.    … Expand

    Really aggressively mediocre shooter gameplay. Like just plain boring and the movement items are great because you can get past all the boring combat. But then your stuck either listening to the guns non stop even when adjusting the settings to make them shut up. Or stuck with the game wasting your time with either stupid gameplay or conversations.

    There is literally nothing good about this game. The gameplay is mid and the comedy is less funny than Amy Schumer. Avoid it at all costs

    I love Rick & Morty, but this game.... Man, i had high hopes. I saw the trailer, i wanted Morties voice in the game, but man was is disappointed. There are some serious performance issues on the pc but lets pretend that everything works fine. The game is utterly boring. Its like a bad shooter from older times.

    high on life is a very good game the humor is good and even more so if you follow the rick and morty series the gameplay, although it is not very innovative, is good for a game of its style, I recommend it 100%

    Just a big ol' pile of 'meh'. I could excuse lazy, hand-holdy and shallow gameplay if the narrative delivered but the jokes just didn't land with me and the voice acting was repetitive at best and more often irritating as hell. had high expectations based on how funny Trover Saves The Universe was but this is a lemon pie. What a shame.

    I'll do my best to rate negatively your game in every platform and every site possible so other people won't waste their time like I did.

    Don't buy it, and don't play it !

    Tip : If you face skrendel, you better not die, not even once, or it is game over.    … Expand

    This is the surprise hit of the year for me. I didn't know what to expect, but it's an absolutely hilarious game that made me very immersed. Fun action, good gameplay, incredible writing and characters, and I am not even really a fan of the creators, but they really knocked it out of the park with this one.

    An adorable FPS that looks like a cartoon and plays like a wonder. Witty humour, variety, top notch graphical compartment and wonderful characters. This is a 10 out of 10 hands down.

    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.

    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

    If you are a fan of Justin Roilands dark humour, this is for you.
    So many cool pop culture references and characters will always have something to say.
    I was laughing son hard from the beginning to the end of this game.

    Bazı noktalarda size çok fazla özgürlük sunabilecek gibi görünüyor fakat o rahatlığı bulamıyorsunuz. genel olarak diyaloglar ve oynanış eğlenceli. hikayesi biraz standart olsa da anlatım tarzı ve zengin diyalogları işi kurtarıyor.

    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.

    I love Rick & Morty, but when I initially saw the trailer for this game I immediately thought that I would be annoyed with the style of humor when navigating this fps shooter, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The shooting mechanics were simple enough to start, but as more guns were introduced, there was a surprising depth to it. The bosses have not been punishingly difficult, but far from pushovers. My gripe right now is I feel like the non-combat hubs are not that lively, or have too much to do in them besides making a purchase or two. Overall, really enjoying this game.… Expand

    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

    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.
