    The hitting feel is weak, but it is among the best games of recent times for me, be it the subject or the dialogues.

    If you don't like humour in this game, you won't like it. But I had a blast playing High on Life. Not just for the funny characters and crazy world, but the gameplay is surprisingly very good and addictive. Great experience.

    For me it is a best game of 2022. Best story, animation, humor.

    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 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.

    Cant stand the annoying voices or how often they say some stupid Morty line i’ve heard 1000 times already in the same voice. Great concept for a game, HORRIBLE execution.

    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.    … Expand

    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

    Great fun platformer with fps arcade style shooting. Sometimes the talking could be a little less but there is a option to set the frequency lower.

    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

    Pros:
    Environment Design
    I can feel the environment is alive Colors Cons: Movement is not precise. When I turn back while I was moving forward, the player won’t stop moving forward for a split second There’s only 1 combat music for the Bounty Krubis chapter (first chapter). It would be great if there was at least 2 or 3 different combat music and we cycled between them    Pros:

    There are no settings for the hold to sprint and press to aim options which I use every time. You can only press to sprint and hold to aim in this game

    Neutral:

    The combat game design is taken from Doom. We fight waves of enemies on specific points of the map    … Expand

    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.

Aliens haben wie wir gesellschaftliche Regeln und man kann die Waffen und anderen Aliens sehr oft empören, hab ich immer gemacht, ist lustig!

    Die Waffen haben 2-3 Modi, die im Kampf und in der Welt zum weiterkommen verwendet werden können. Die Story ist echt gut und es macht Spaß immer weiter zu spielen. Die Bosse sind kreativ gestaltet, visuell als auch im Kampf.

    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...

    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.

    I mean its alright, the actual game play is really fun and I really like the gunplay but I think the problem is with a million jokes a second there's a good chance that a lot of them arent gonna land, the guns are all fun though

    This is a wonderful beautiful artwork game with fantastic humor dialogue which is the main point of the game. The combat is solid and well done and its definitely one of the most unique games i ever played and definitely the most unique game that came out in 2022.. definitely worth buying

    Le jeu est bien moyen quand même.
    Les graphismes sont ultras moches et mal optimisés, la non-disponibilité de la VF c'est relou, les sous-titres se superposent on ne comprend plus rien.
    C'est dommage le concept me plaisait bien.

    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.

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

    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.
