    Not too many shooters make me laugh as much as this game. this game is definitely Rick and Morty at it best

    Guns need more variation, loved the story and quests. The world and graphics were visually appealing, with action, comedy, all packed in one metroidvania esque game. You fight a lot of the same enemies (in many shooters), but offer unique bosses and that classic Rick and Morty punchlines! Would recommend to wait until it goes on sale for less than $40.

    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 gun play is slow and unsatisfying, and the modification system does little to help that. For a game thay is primarily a first person shooter this is a mortal sin.

The gun play is slow and unsatisfying, and the modification system does little to help that. For a game thay is primarily a first person shooter this is a mortal sin. 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

    Massive disappointment. The humour is mediocre at best and just straight up cringe at worst. As someone who love's Rick and Morty, it really feels they're really scrapping the bottom of the barrel with these jokes. As for the gameplay, it's pretty bad. Gunplay feels stiff and there's not enough variation in guns or how you go about killing enemies. Overall, the game just sucks. Only reasonMassive disappointment.

Only reason I'm giving it a 5 is because some of the locations are pretty cool looking and I respect that they were trying to do something different. Oh, and the performance is terrible on PC, too.… Expand

    Welp it’s a game…. So outdated, some enjoyable nostalgic moments and some minor laughs but most of it was a slog.

    Fun. That is all I want in a game, most times. If you like the humor in it, you will love it. You can also quiet down the talking guns and enemies to some extent.
    Fact: a game that truly takes you away from your daily worries and helps you unwind and relax, and laugh. Beautiful!

    Awesome game with good fighting mechanics and a pretty average story but the strongest selling point is the comedic dialogue between characters which any gamer with a sense of humor will enjoy.

    El juego más divertido del 2022. Con un entretenido sistema de FPS, exploración y puzzles, High On Life es una experiencia hecha para empaparse del característico humor de Rick And Morty. Vale la pena comprarlo o jugarlo en Game Pass. Además, la opción de sincronización de datos entre Xbox y PC es maravillosa.

    Solid game, with very good gunplay, if you like Rick&Morty humor you going to enjoy it.
    Not very long, for me another good point. In overall very good game

    This game has the potential to be great due to its unique sense of humor, but the gameplay falls short. It's a repetitive shooting game with insufficient mechanics to keep it interesting. Despite this, it can still be somewhat enjoyable.

    High on life is definitely an unusual experience. Graphic style is really nice and I do actually really enjoyed different planets although unfortunately there aren't many in the game.

    Un juego hermoso gráficamente, innovador a la hora de jugar te da un refresco tanto visual como en jugabilidad su mecánica me gusta mucho el guión excelente lo malo es que está subtitulado al español y sus letras son muy chicas haciéndose difícil para el lector y molestó para el que no tiene ningún nivel en inglés

    The humor pushes the boundaries honestly and I kind of like that. It adds a bit of shock factor Which feels refreshing compared to other games Is made in our time.

    Este juego es realmente bueno tiene un humor increíble los personajes son muy carismáticos lo único por lo que no es un 10 es por qué no está doblado a mi idioma y por qué es un poco difícil seguir los comentarios de las pistolas mientras estás en combate

    For the sheer joy of a few hours in a wacky world with jokes flying fast and thick, this is well worth playing. As part of gamepass, a no brainer. Delighted to see the fun brought back to video gaming.

    Very funny and unique. The gameplay and story are enjoyable too. But really that crazy vibe is the greatest thing about this game. Reminds me of Borderlands 2 which I love.

    Very fun game, nice game to relax and have fun with and the humor is on point and will have you laugh through the game. Wouldn't play it in front of your little ones considering the humor can be a little dark.

    If you enjoy Justin Roiland brand humor you will have a lot of fun with this, almost constantly enjoyable as long as you like the Rick and Morty style of an everchanging mashup of dumb stuff. One of the better first person shooters mainly due to it's style and how hard it leans into its humor, which can be why it isn't for some people.

    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.
