    Terrible game full of bugs and glitches that don't let you continue the story.

    Avoid at all costs unless you want to waste hours (literally) of your time, for nothing !

    Excellent game, truly a breath of fresh air with its humorous dialogue, heightened even more by Justin Roiland's genius performance.

    High on Life is one of the best games I've played this year, Vibrant world, amazing gameplay ideas in an FPS game, the concept is great and the jokes are hilarious, a must play.

    The game is a lot of fun and made me laugh countless times, there were times when I paused the game to have time to hold back my laughter, as I really like the humor shown in the TV series "Rick and Morty" (the series that the game was heavily inspired).

    But, frankly analyzing the product, the only aspect that makes the game stand out are the smart and funny lines along with the subtle and bold jokes, which are scattered throughout the plot. And the fact that there is no translation into Portuguese ends up destroying the great advantage of the game for most Brazilians who do not understand the languages made available by the developers, fueling the serious misconception of Americans who faithfully believe that Brazilians understand Spanish fluently.

    (Recalling that the Brazilian game market is one of the largest in the world and it is practically unacceptable that an Indie game as audacious as this one that came out at the end of 2022 comes without translation into Portuguese even though it has support for several other languages).

    Looking at the game from the perspective of someone who doesn't understand the language being spoken, it's a mediocre and even tiring game.    … Expand

    La premisa de High on Life es sencilla. Es un shooter, sin más. Un FPS de la vieja escuela con oleadas de enemigos, misiones, jefes enormes y espectaculares, algún que otro puzzle sencillo y algo de exploración para encontrar coleccionables, todo ello empaquetado en una historia bizarra y un humor irreverente como seña de identidad. Y la cosa es que funciona maravillosamente. Se juegaLa premisa de High on Life es sencilla. Es un shooter, sin más. Un FPS de la vieja escuela con oleadas de enemigos, misiones, jefes enormes y espectaculares, algún que otro puzzle sencillo y algo de exploración para encontrar coleccionables, todo ello empaquetado en una historia bizarra y un humor irreverente como seña de identidad. Y la cosa es que funciona maravillosamente. Se juega genial. Es imposible no sonreír ante alguna de las bizarras soluciones del juego. Desde las conversaciones entre los gatlianos o las armas que te acompañan, hasta los insólitos coleccionables. Recorreremos varios mapas a modo de niveles en extraños planetas, más o menos abiertos, masacrando esbirros por oleadas y buscando el camino hacia el jefe final.

    Nuestra misión es encontrar a los señores del cártel G3. Es decir, los terratenientes y el capo de una organización criminal que se dedica básicamente al negocio de las drogas. Han descubierto que los humanos, consumidos en una especie de pipa muy similar a una cachimba, dan un subidón que da gusto y esto…. al parecer tiene muchos fans en la galaxia. Por lo que aparecen enfrente de nuestra casa, pegando tiros y secuestrando a todo el mundo, buscando material para sus clientes. Gracias a una simpática pistola llamada Kenny, un gatliano cuyo planeta también ha sido victima del G3, nos transportamos a Blim City, una sucia capital de un planeta extraterrestre, donde comenzaremos nuestra carrera como cazarrecompensas para acabar con los mafiosos interestelares.

    Como única crítica diría que el juego al no estar doblado (y pobremente traducido) al español hace que te pierdas parte de los hilarantes diálogos de tus compañeros durante la misiones, y esto es un poco decepcionante para un juego cuyo punto fuerte es precisamente ese; una historia divertida y unos diálogos para partirse el culo. Otra cosa es que en Xbox One los tiempos de carga son eternos, no pienso cambiar de generación todavía porque no hay juego que me haya llamado a ello, pero está claro que en Series X/S esto no se dará. Quede este comentario como aviso más que como crítica si no has querido cambiar de generación.

    Recomendado si te gustan los shooters, y cansas de lo típico. Es muy divertido y de dificultad ajustada, hay jefes que se las traen.    … Expand

    If you are a serious fan of Rick & Morty and the other Justin Roiland universes, this game will fit right in.
    Graphic is solid, colourful. Voice cast is stellar, and the humor is good.

    The ending is short and ridicilous. They really could have added a little more.. Its just so abrupt.
    Other than that. Good game.    … Expand

    Um jogo o qual nós primeiros minutos já vemos similaridade com Rick e Morty. Game com diversas piadas e ótima jogabilidade, me fez lembrar bastante Fallout.

    Un juego divertidísimo políticamente incorrecto al que los cretinos de siempre han intentado boicotear. Espero que Justin Roiland vuelva a ser contratado para Rick & Morty.

    I am absolutely LOVING this game! Yes the comedy isn't for everyone and if you don't like it, it will annoy you.

    BUT if you like the comedy and a solid Metroid Prime Clone with great graphics and entertaining story try this.

    I am blown away by how much fun this game is. Every single, solitary second is filled with humor and whimsy. The combat is surprisingly engaging. Forcing you to switch weapons, perform combos, and use abilities(jet pack, dodge etc) in every encounter. There’s so much to unpack. So, I won’t even try. It’s best to experience it for yourself on GamePass. Don’t listen to the naysayers; trustI am blown away by how much fun this game is. Every single, solitary second is filled with humor and whimsy.

    I'm writing this with some bias. I am a big fan of Rick and Morty, and Solar Opposites. So his style of comedy is right down my alley. That said, I loved this game because it reminded me of an old school game. It's silly, funny, ridiculous, brightly colored and tonnes if sound. It's like the type of games we used to get before realism was the most important thing. The combat isn'tI'm writing this with some bias. I am a big fan of Rick and Morty, and Solar Opposites.

It's like the type of games we used to get before realism was the most important thing. The combat isn't intuitive or anything amazing, but it's simple and it works, like an old fps. Plenty of things to keep you entertained while doing the main story. The main story is ridiculous, as well and that's OK for a video game. The endless chatter can get annoying for some, although I enjoyed it. But again I like Roland's brand of comedy. I don't know why it's getting so much hate from critics, maybe more politics involved than I understand. It's on Xbox game pass so no worry to try it and I recommend trying it. It's better stoned as well.

    I don't want to give any spoilers but the game is very straightforward. A few missions and you're done, like a cod game. Don't expect hours our of this. I played for twelve and I milked it because I enjoyed it.    … Expand

    Gameplay is okish and navigation kinda feels meh but the story telling, voice acting, the weirdness, love to details, breaking the 4th wall makes this sooo good. If the combat would be better it would be a solid 10/10. But tbf it's their first game so their budget had to be small. Keeping this in mind, this game is a must play. Especially if you love Rick and Morty as i do

    This game is about humour, but a bit excessiave and abusive humour that fits teenagers. Basically this game is a shooter with limited mechanics and 4 types of the enemy.

    High On Life certainly isn’t an intellectually profound game or a deep and meaningful one (despite a quasi-emotional end-game), it’s just an FPS that wants you to laugh and indulge in silliness for a little while. As long as you jive with the game’s grooves, you will like what High On Life has to offer, but be warned – when you’re playing a game that’s high on its own supply, sometimes it won’t think straight and it’ll leave you yearning for something more.
