    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.

    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.

    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

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.

    This game was making me laugh out loud a handful of times, which is usually very rare for me in any medium (movies, TV, games, etc.) So I thought I should give it props by stopping by Metacritic to give it a solid review.

    Fun, vibrant world, gunplay better than I expected, and funnier than Rick & Morty (IMO obviously). I almost didn't try it after the hate it was getting on some /r/

    I struggled as to whether to give this game a “9” or a “10” and ultimately went with ten. It’s just too good to not reward even if I don’t think such a niche game can appeal to everyone that a “10” should. It’s amazing. FAR too much effort goes into dissecting whether it’s “funny” or not, which is largely beside the point. It’s like trying to argue about whether Earthbound is “funny”.

It lives and dies by whether you like the comedy - I do, I think it works really, really well throughout, so I rate it.

    If I didn't like the comedy, this score would fall rapidly, because as a game it obviously has flaws - but I love the art style, the characters are memorable, there's some genuinely laugh out loud moments throughout and the gameplay is functional if not great.

    It's doing nothing new apart from the humour, and that's its' actual strength - it's a throwback to a 'one and done' game, where a developer had a vision, realised it and released it for people to play and enjoy instead of wondering how to monetise it for five years. An easy recommend for me, especially if you have Game Pass and get it 'free'.

    The atmosphere, unfortunately, is the worst part. It's not tight, every joke the NPCs make are overindulgent with their timing, and you never feel that quick pace the TV show makes you feel. It's as if you have a bad comic take a set from a well known comedian and screw it up completely, and because of that screw up your realize that there was nothing particularly good about the material but the way the well known comedian told the jokes was the thing that made you laugh.

    Afterwards I thought that it was me. The world was no longer appealing at all so I figured I'd watch s06 since I was waiting for a binge to see it. The show is still great, unfortunately this game is not.

The humour won't be for everyone, but I found it hilarious, and it's definitely one of the main selling points of the game, but it's far more than that, High on Life's attention to detail is top notch and made the whole game feel polished to a degree a lot of games simply don't get to these days.

    The visuals are stunning, with an incredible art style and the audio doesn't disappoint either, with a frankly ridiculous amount of top quality voice work, I often found myself standing still for minutes at a time listening to NPC conversations, the world feels so alive. The gameplay while simple was very enjoyable, and there's just enough depth to keep it interesting, with a ton of upgrades to unlock for your weapons, which just happen to be wise cracking aliens BTW.

    Performance was solid for me, a locked 120fps was possible at 1440p with an RTX 3080, and everything worked how you'd expect it to, no nasty surprises or weirdness. I was a bit surprised the game lacked DLSS and FSR though, those would have been nice additions.

    Overall I enjoyed my time with High on Life immensely, and I would recommend it to anyone. It had me laughing throughout and one scene in particular was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen in a video (the dying moplet).

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.

    A brilliant and fun video game. Stupid, fun, piss taking and poking fun. Decent gunplay, original soundtrack...quality overall audio and visually creative and designed. Brings me back to when games were fun and random. Unfortunately some woke reviewers and do gooders clearly were offended by this game but it's a fun and solid shooter and one of 2022 better games by far. Played on a good PC.

    1) I will miss it a lot, especially the characters.

    I finished High on Life yesterday. I did everything that the game has to offer and it was worth every second of it! If I can say 3 things about this particular one:
    1) I will miss it a lot, especially the characters.
    2) it's by far one of the best games I've played this year.
    3) it is what a video game should be.
    I can see this game getting a fair amount of negative reviews, although it is currently the most popular game on Game pass and also it's in the 3rd place as the most played game ever - again on Game pass. High on Life is quite similar in structure to old video games like Rachet and Clank or Sly cooper. You have worlds that you travel and visit often, each world is quite open and at the end of each one they have a final boss fight. You are a little kid whose mission is to "clean" these bosses and save the world from the alien threat. At your side you have different weapons that you get gradually and these come with different upgrades that you buy little by little as you progress through the game. The same weapons are 80% of the characters of High on Life since they are aliens who are able to speak and were made to kill.
    High on Life is made by the company Squanch games and the Co-Creator of Rick and Morty - anyone who has seen the series knows what kind of humor to expect here! I am talking about humor because the game itself is based on this and on the dialogues that the characters have with each other. Since we're talking about characters, I have to mention that I loved the whole cast, which, while it's not big, I'll miss them all - really, every single one of them. The Soundtrack of High on Life is also very strong, fitting, exactly what it needed to be to stick with the whole "alien world" theme.
    As for the story, as I mentioned above, we are dealing with an alien threat! We know more or less what to expect but the dialogues are so well worked, honestly you are never bored of it.
    Last but not least the game has a lot of easter eggs, so DON'T listen to those who say that its duration is 6-7 hours only. I was expecting that too, but in the end I needed about 15 hours to see everything. Trust me, finding its easter eggs, it makes the whole experience even more enjoyable so please don't ignore them.

    I recommend it 100% if you like games with dark/satirical humor and a structure reminiscent of the games we used to play as kids. It easily made it to my most favorite games list!!

    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

La letra de lo subtitulos es muy pequeña perdiendote mucho de la conversación pero por lo visto han sacado un parche que lo mejora. Es un juego entretenido que dura unas 12 horas y por eso se salva. Si durara mas se haría muy pesado pero para echar unas tardes está muy entretenido. Al ser un juego barato y estar en el GAME PASS merece la pena probarlo aunque sea para un fin de semana aburido.

    High on Life is an FPS game from Justin Roiland of Rick and Morty fame. The game's very much focused on comedy, mostly delivered by the different talking gun aliens found throughout, and is very much in line with Roiland's previous work. There's a never ending torrent of dialogue which I personally enjoyed for the most part though others might not if it's not your style of humor.

In terms of mechanics and gameplay the title is quite good, and delivers satisfying battles and exploration. I encountered quite a few bugs and glitches, which was unfortunate though the game does have a fail-safe by including the option to load back to the last checkpoint at any time. One of my favorite aspects of the title is the cast of voice actors, which include a few surprising and fun cameos.

    While High on Life is a bit rough around the edges and the comedic writing is something that some people won't connect with I personally enjoyed the creativity on display and found it to be an amusing and fun experience.

    First single player game I've played in years that was enjoyable. I don't remember it being severely buggy and I was able to play it without wondering when the game would freeze and break. Sadly we probably won't see anymore of High on Life because of Roiland being a creep, but oh well I guess.

    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..

    I enjoyed this game. It is pretty funny. The style of humor isn't going to be for everyone. Much of the dialog is typical Justin Roiland adlibbing. It is like 80% interdimensional cable from Rick and Morty (adlibbed) and 20% standard Rick and Morty (scripted). It doesn't have the sophistication or polish of Rick and Morty, showing how much Roiland benefits from the input of Dan Harmon.I enjoyed this game. It is pretty funny.

It doesn't have the sophistication or polish of Rick and Morty, showing how much Roiland benefits from the input of Dan Harmon. There's a lot cheap potty humor and jokes where the punchline is cursing. Those I didn't enjoy quite as much.

    If the humor isn't for you, you probably won't like this game. The shooter aspect is surprisingly good for a comedy game, but unsurprisingly mediocre compared to a AAA shooter.

    It is a little underbaked overall. In particular, there are some ugly bugs. You will probably have to defeat several bosses a couple of times and redo a few sections after a crash. It's annoying, but I was able to get over it after a moments of cursing the developers.

    Other pros:
    There's some really nice Easter eggs and fun little things like funny posters and graffiti to find. Performance is pretty good even on a lower end computer and the graphics are great on a higher end PC.

    Other cons:
    The world feels a little bit empty. There's very little variety in enemies and NPCs alike and there's very few NPCs you can interact with. In some places, especially the urban areas, the level design is pretty bad. There's tons of invisible walls. After a few minutes of exploration it is really easy to get lost and I was rarely able to get my bearings. There are few markers that stand out to keep you going in the right direction and unless you are on a mission, there's no indication of where you need to go to get back on track. This makes exploration tedious because once you get lost, it is a pain to get back to the game hub and move on.

    If you like raw Justin Roiland, you will probably enjoy this game. Otherwise, you will probably not.

    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.

No complex story but a simple one with some deepsheat enough to be enjoyable. Fight is also simple but works better than in other more complex games. What else do we need? We need a simple game with simple mechanics and a simple story. We want one which works in every case. We have got it in 2022, thats High on Life. Expand

    Really loved my play trough, sure it's not a technical showcase and i had few issue with the game but ultimately i loved the world, the ambiance, the movements and it was funny i didn't played it because i like rick and morty but because from the start it had me hook on the gameplay and the enviroments. no rick and morty humour or connection would've had me keep going if the rest was badReally loved my play trough, sure it's not a technical showcase and i had few issue with the game but ultimately i loved the world, the ambiance, the movements and it was funny i didn't played it because i like rick and morty but because from the start it had me hook on the gameplay and the enviroments. no rick and morty humour or connection would've had me keep going if the rest was bad so it's a W for me!

    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.
    Gameplay is simple, roaming, shooting, jumping from platform to
    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.
    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

    Great game, runs well on my PC as well as my steam deck. I wish I could move my save file between the two and I would like to be able to skip dialog as some of it is kind of slow paced. Everything else about the game is fantastic.

    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.
