    I'm incredibly grateful to have played this on Gamepass so as not to spend any actual money buying it.

    Technical:

    - The graphics are hideous and it runs like a steaming pile. Too many colors all in a washed out greasy haze, can't differentiate between anything in the environments. The same 4/5 enemies reused over and over and over and over again. The same NPC model reused over and over and over and over again. Frustrating UI, terrible level design.

    Writing: If you have to include an option from the get go to have your characters and enemies shut the hell up for two seconds maybe consider right off the bat how asinine and grating your writing is? Repeating the same sentence ad infinitum with stuttering, mumbling and throwing in zany pseudo baby space talk ending in "oopy, gooby, zoopy" etc is exhausting to listen to. There's no structure, jokes or cleverness to any of it, just "HEY WOW LOOK HOW ZANY THIS ALL IS" and then on to the next vomit inducing set piece. Absolute pure garbage    … Expand

    I dont understand the hate, the game is funny, the world and graphics are appealing... the gameplay is mediocre though.

    Game has a lot of dark humor. I laughed at how absurd everything is. Ran smooth, no issue on PC.
    Didn't play it on launch but glad I got around to it. The game has some platforming, and is a more mature themed Ratchet like game.

    As much as I enjoy the world of High on Life and Justin Roiland it's just not enough to keep playing.

    Missions are uninteresting, too long and vague.

    A lowbrow Rick and Morty clone with pseudo-intellectualism as its main offering. Graphics are nice but prepare to lose brain cells with every minute of play.

    Initially I was sceptical because of 69/100 critic reviews score, I was thinking that this is just another shooter which tries to attract Rick and Morty fans. For sure I was wrong. This is a great game, I couldn't stop laughing.

    A hidden gem that you may have missed due to expressive art style or dirty jokes. But it's also a good platformer and shooter with vibes of sitcoms of 80s.

    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.

    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.

    Ah High on Life... what a shame about Justin Roiland. I think if the game hadn't come out in the wake of his abuse allegations and legal proceedings, it would have been received better. It's still only a 7.5 game... but critics would have been fairer.

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.

    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

    High on life is a comedy game, so as player you can't be serious. We don't have a lot games like this, but first things first. Some about fun from playing. I had a lot of laughs when I was playing in HoL. We have here rude jokes, irrational characters, weird but simple plot and all that staff from Rick and Morty that I love.

Some about fun from playing. I had a lot of laughs when I was playing in HoL. We have here rude jokes, irrational characters, weird but simple plot and all that staff from Rick and Morty that I love.
    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

    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).

    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

    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.
