    Hilarious as hell and very creative, this sits in a class entirely of its own. Not your old school fps at all. Some of the comedic elements of the game had me in tears laughing, like the sock-puppet threesome. Gameplay, world and sound are all quite good. Some of the city locations could have been richer with more activity and NPC dialogue, but the whack writing and jokes balance that out.Hilarious as hell and very creative, this sits in a class entirely of its own.

    Ngl forgot I even played this game and didn't add it to my account. I played it a **** ton when it came out. Game Pass is a hell of a thing. But I had a great time with this game. The humor is my kind of humor. It's just stupid fun. The gameplay is nothing special at all tho. Like everyone else has already said, if you're a fan of Rick and Morty then you'll probably like this game.

    Pour tout dire je ne m'étais pas autant marré sur un JV depuis South the Park stick of truth, de l'humour trash et méta du calibre des meilleurs épisodes de Rick and Morty.

    Mais le jeux ne brille pas que par son humour, on se retrouve devant un fps/mertoidvania dans la ligné des Metroid prime (voir plus récemment Savage planète) avec un level design efficace et un gameplay solide. D'ailleurs le gun felling est plutôt bon, ce qui n'est pas évident quand on se dit qu'on tire tout le long du jeux avec des **** parlants semi-rigides.

    Sur pc le jeux est plutôt beau dans son style (cad dire très cartoon et flashy), avec des animations de très bonne facture (on est plutôt au niveau AAA sur ce point) et une Opti au poil. D'ailleurs après les optimisation désastreuses des versions PC de Gotham Knignt, Darktide et Callisto Protocol, on se dis que certain gros studio devrait en prendre de la graine.    … Expand

    8 rating would be a stretch, but the Xbox series s version is a solid 6

    I am a big fan of Rick and Morty, so I loved the foul-mouthed guns and characters present in this game. I did have a few problems with glitches, i.e. getting stuck in the architecture where I used my jetpack too high looking for loot. In certain boss fights I also got stuck through no fault of my own because    8 rating would be a stretch, but the Xbox series s version is a solid 6

    The story is relatively short, bit there are weapon upgrades you can purchase if you return to the levels and find the hiddenboxes (some have collectable garbage pail kids type trading cards, some have weapon upgrades, some have straight money)

    Another issue with it is how they only have 4 weapons, yet instead of jusy mapping each to one D pad arrow, they only use the left and right arrow to cycle.

    I enjoyed the graphics, sound effects, and dialog, but the music was lame generic scifi.

    My gf loved all the colors in the game. A vibrant palate of purples greens blues and pinks.

    Thr enemies are covered in this goop that shields them. It reminded me of one of my favorite promo games ever, CHEX QUEST.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A really videogame ass game. This is a true straight-shooter of a game (no pun intended). If you are looking for a laid back and linear shooter to take a break from the constant barrage of massive RPGs we get, High on Life could be for you.

    I never watched Rick and Morty really, but I would imagine the humor is directly aligned with the show. I found the comedy to be relentlessly okay. Meaning, it never stopped, but it was all solid jokes that were never too funny. Only on occasion did the quips become obnoxious. I stress the humor factor of this game because that is what I am assuming you are excepting when you dive into this game.

    With an entry point of $60, you would be much better off just getting game pass for a month if you don't already have it, in order to play the game. It is a short experience with very few side objectives to do. The shooting mechanics are average to below average and I found myself using only one of the four main guns much more often than not.

    Visually it doesn't knock your socks off, but it certainly has a unique art style. The various alien species you meet aren't incredibly diverse, especially the enemies you fight. Almost every enemy looks the exact same and you fight them in very one dimensional ways. The bosses are the best part of any combat you engage in, as they are all unique from one another. However, fighting the bosses did feel slightly uninspired and traditional. I noticed very little stuttering in the framerate unless there was a lot of enemies or NPC's on screen at once.

    More on the technical side of things; I did notice a lot of minor but annoying glitches. Sometimes a character's dialogue wouldn't start when it was supposed to. This lead to long moments of silence where I wasn't sure what to do. A couple times I had to restart the game because the next objective wouldn't commence. It was not anything egregious, but still slightly annoying.

    When it comes to whether or not I would recommend High on Life, I would say it depends on what you are looking for. All together, it was a solid experience that I hope they can build on in a potential sequel. They could hopefully flesh out the mechanics with more variations in combat and enemy design. The bosses, which were the main draw of the combat, was a bright spot in the experience. I could definitely see a future in which High on Life 2 comes out and it is simply bigger and better. For now, you have a 10-15 hour linear FPS with some solid jokes and a lot of concepts that are good, but could eventually be finetuned to make a stellar sequel. This is a good starting point for a franchise and we will see if it was a successful enough game for us to get more.    … Expand

    I enjoyed High of Life. I never sat down and watched a full episode of Rick & Morty, or any of Justin Roiland's IPs, and still had fun playing the game.

    High on Life is carried by its humor. I think most people will tell you that. I laughed with the game from start to finish. The characters, plot and scenarios are all charming and the game does not take itself seriously at all. It does not try to be some gritty, action game but instead feels more like a summer comedy (more on that later). One example, in the beginning of the game, you meet this washed-up alien bounty hunter named Gene who is essentially your Ben Kenobi-like mentor. He stays with you throughout the whole game but the jokes that highlight his washed-upness, laziness and vulgarness never get old. I enjoyed his quips and the other character's complaints about him, often literally loling. And Gene is just one funny character, they game does not have any shortage of humor: Dark, potty, this game has all of it.

    Now, it is truly best enjoyed as an interactive summer comedy, as stated above. That's because the shooting mechanics and guns leave a lot to be desired. For example, early in the game, you get this funny shotgun named Gus. However, the shotgun lacks the "oomf" that a shotgun typically has in FPS games. It just feels weak. At times when I thought the shotgun would come in handy, I just used the default pistol instead because it worked better. There's other weapons in the game but, unlike the pistol, they feel niche and don't get the job done as efficiently. But matter of fact, the gunplay and shoot mechanics as a while feel weak and floaty. The shooting does not particularly feel great; it often feels floaty. Although, there are numerous upgrades and modifiers you can purchase of your weapons, which is admittedly surprisingly.

    That said, this problem can be overridden by tuning the game's difficulty to story mode. This makes the game a cakewalk, with the exception of the final boss, who still almost killed me. Although this does make the game too-easy, it does allow you to focus on your weapons' banter, storyline and humor (again think summer comedy) that carry the game.

    That said, I can only recommend this game if you pick it up on GamePass. It lacks a lot of content for $60 game. There is no multiplayer component or endgame content to make me feel like I got my money's worth out of it. However, as a game that released on GamePass day one, I think anyone down for a good laugh should play it.

    As I said many times in this interview, let it be a funny movie and you'll really enjoy it.    … Expand

    High on Life trás um humor ácido muito bom, uma ótima jogabilidade FPS e pode te divertir do inicio ao fim, sem sombra de dúvidas esse foi um dos melhores jogos que joguei em 2022. Único ponto
    negativo do jogo é a falta de legendas, dando assim falta de acessibilidade para vários jogadores.

    Got stuck in an infinite loading screen right before last boss. I feel like I wasted my time... Until is fixed, if ever, I can't recommend it to anyone. However, High on life Is a good game with a very specific taste of humor, either you like it on not. Enjoyable game mechanics and decent graphs. Plot is ok, nothing extraordinary.

    Reí a carcajadas, divertido, un poquito repetitivo en la dinámica de combate en el sentido de que no hay gran variedad de glory kills, y el mapa está algo limitado, pero de ahí en fuera me parece asombroso, gran juego en ocasiones se parece al Doom por lo intensos que se ponen los combates, lo recomiendo en XBSX|S.

    Literally the least funny/ most annyoing game ever. You have no voice yet the developer thought it was a good idea to let Morty scream in your ears for hours. There isnt even fun enemies to fight.
    The only thing it has going for it is the creative world design. But even that is just getting boring after a few hours. Even faster when you already know Rick and Mortys style.

    It tries to be funny but it falls very flat and gets old super quickly. I will say it reminded me of perhaps a remaster of an old Xbox game with it’s dated style and shooting. Thankfully it was “free” on game-pass.

    High On Life doesn't stand out on many things, but it does well what it sets out to do. It has a fun writing, a solid story, good shooting mechanics and powerups, nice overall gameplay, cool environments and it's pretty good looking. To me, it felt like Justin Roiland's take on HALO. As crazy as it sounds. One of the gun even feels like the Needler.

    The humor is definitely not for everybody, but it's the thing that mostly kept me going. I really enjoyed it. The game, as a shooter, felt really competent as well (and I loved the jetpack). From platforming to fighting hordes of enemies, they managed to get a good pace going, packing funny jokes, intense moments and collectables all around the areas. Besides, there's just a lot of things to do in such a short game. For example, you can actually watch entire movies on a cinema or on your living room. It's quite nice.

    The thing is that there's not a lot to say past that point.

    I had a lot of fun with it, but that's it. I wasn't a fan of some of the boss fights, using the other guns (aside from Creature) didn't feel as cool as using Kenny, they reused too much of the same environments for missions, not every NPC you interact has something interesting going and the ending kinda just... ends, you know?

    High On Life is a pretty solid game. It's not impressive, it's not for everyone and definitely won't be your highlight FPS, but it is a nice fun shooter. If you have nothing else to play, maybe try this one out.    … Expand

I personally do plus the meta commentary on overused cliché tropes in FPS really hooked me and left me feeling great, even if those jokes come at the expense of the rather boring gameplay sections. A lack of guns, mostly because each gun is alive so it would have been tough to do so many voice lines, was my biggest issue. There's only 4 guns and 1 knife in the game. While each have a secondary fire method, this really needed at least 2-3 more weapons for variety. Plus the game has a ton of bugs, both with its graphics and audio. While the game tries to make fun of these, they happen quite often enough to take you out of some scenes. I'd still recommend it, especially to those on gamepass. But you really have to determine if the like the crass and never-ending humor that Justin Roiland brings to the table. Because it's true that there's so much talking at all times it's almost unbearable, especially when characters start talking over one another.… Expand

    This game is awesome! First off it is made by one of the creator's of Rick and Morty and it shows. The main voice actor in the game is the voice actor for Morty himself and he is so funny! If you like RIck and Morty humor this game is for you, and man it was for me!

    Here are some positives:
    - Short campaign with a lot to do. I am a fan of the 10-12 hour campaign, I do not need every game to be a 100 hours of fetch quests. This is a shorter and more refined experience that focuses on art style, funny writing, and good FPS gameplay and platforming.
    - Combat and movement feel good and are very different. As you get new abilities, suit upgrades, and weapons you can move and kill in new ways. It is very fun in that regard.
    - The story is actually really fun and compelling. You are a bounty hunter seeking to take down a cartel from the bottom up.
    - The cast of characters are great. All the Guns have super funny personalities and even a touching and tragic backstory that you will learn about throughout the story.
    - The game is FUNNY. If you like Rick and Morty, play this game. If you like this game watch Rick and Morty.
    - The graphics and art direction pops off the screen.
    - The main villain is absolutely the worst in the best way, and by the lost boss battle you will be so ready to end its life.
    - The boss battles are a fun combination of puzzle combat and shooting.
    - The worlds are beautiful and colorful.
    - The worldbuilding is also really great and clever. There is definitely room for a sequel, I like the lore and factions in the world a lot.
    - Variety in locations and enemy types.
    - The achievement hunt it so good! You can, with a guide get 100% completion in one playthrough.
    - The length is perfect. I want to say my playthrough was around 12 hours with near total achievement completion. I love shorter focused campaigns because I can replay them and it ups the quality. This is one of those classic 12-15 hour shooter campaigns from back in the 360 days.

    You should play this game, I have no clue why it got bombed so hard it doesn't deserve it at all. Play it on game pass now!    … Expand

Controls Suck, Music is basically just bleeps and bloops, it feels like it's been programmed in some country that had to hastily pack up as the invasion happened... but it has some Rick and Morty talent (if you believe they're talented) involved in voicing the characters. As a shooter, sadly medicore but fun dialogs and "fresh" story if you think that aliens snorting human DNA to make them high is fun.

    Hey, and again, it's made by those geniuses that came up with Rick and Morty... if that is enough for you to get moist enough to drop your controller because of how moist that makes you, dive right in! It has some nice funny dialog, some wacky (Roiland style) TV Shows and some more wacky stuff to keep morons like me entertained, but still a 5/10 sadly.

    Long read:
    Of course, you MUST play this if you are one of the "R&M fanatics" who thinks anything done by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon MUST be good by definition, moronic critics like me be damned (oh, the downvotes, yes, I am very interested in you denying me my much-needed affirmation on metacritic.... boohoo).

    If you're one of the above, then you're also a pro in lying to yourself - and even worse, others - that the controls of this game are Halo-like (in fact, Master Chief can go suck an alien dong, what good did he ever do or even say?). You'd rationalize the talking gun sidekick in High on Life is not getting on your nerves 10 minutes in and the dialogs, though fresh at points and obviously not "shootery" at all are getting tired a few hours in - add to that mediocre graphics and utterly crappy "music" (that R&M fans will tell you HAS to be like that or it would not be funny) - then go ahead and dive right in...

    The Rick & Morty-Verse is clearly divided into people that think "Anything done by anyone involved in R&M is pure gold, so everyone who doesn't like it clearly has no PhD in intelligent humoristics and the counterside is populated by haters (insert the opposite and something like "I find it a bit trite and too hard-trying") I sit right in the middle -

    the game itself, mechanically speaking is - very sadly - utter crap. Period. Controls feel gooey (for a shooter-type game, that's bad, people...) and the Morty-voice-talking-gun sidekick gets so very annoying as the game progresses - and R&M fans will point out that this is made exactly because of that and you NEED to love it, if you think it's annoying, you're annoying, fartknocker.

    The good side of the title definitely are the very funny undertones, outside of the try-hard gun talk bits, too much "alt humor" in my taste.

    The "story" if we want to call it that could be that of any R&M type try-hard show or even an episode of the very same... it's generic and the strewn-in humorous undertone is trying to shovel enough funny over the dirtpile that is the engine and the very medicore "shoot anything that's moving if it has a red reticule" gameplay in-between the dialog bits.

    The game is definitely not interesting outside of the story - even worse, it plays about as well as Postal 4 does (another try-hard failing to reclaim old glory days).

    Swap out the story and Justin Roiland's grating Morty-style voicework and you'd have a pure non-sale.

    It's good enough if you can overlook the really bad controls, lazy level design and being swarmed with hundreds of generic aliens and other blobs of graphic that try to paint over the fact they're badly designed by spouting "funny" things at you - and to add to that of course your talking gun comments on your shooting ... which is funny and fresh for the first 2 hours and then you wish there was a big effing sticker to put on that gun's Morty-mouth.    … Expand

    High on Life is an enjoyable yet silly first person shooter that works on most levels. While the humour sometimes misses he target, for the most part it is quite a witty and humouress story with interesting protagonists and antagonists to be found along the way as you explore this immersive alien shooter. Definitely a game for those looking for something unique yet different in the first person shooter genre.

    Humor is sometimes tough to get right. You have to pace it right and you shouldn’t overdo it. Justin Roiland and co. unfortunately throw it at you in mindless spades and hope something sticks. And underneath it all? Just a very average shooter.
