    Ignore the “professional “ reviews. This game just shows how corrupt many of this “gaming journalist” are . Obviously if you like Rick and morty this will be a 10/10. The graphics are great on a series x and I experienced no bugs , only one crash .

    If you are a gamer you need to play this master piece. My final score is a 9/10 . Best: humor and bosses Bad: you don’t get the jetpack before    Ignore the “professional “ reviews.

    Gran gameplay, excelente apartado artístico y genial sentido del humor. La única pega es que no existe versión en formato físico pero tiempo al tiempo.

    Por mais que esse jogo não tenha sido legendado ou dublado é um jogo extremamente divertido e cômico. Merecia ser dublado pra que a gente entendesse um pouco mais das piadas.

    Great game, loads of fun dialogue and hilarious character. Nice graphics and runs very well after a Day -patch. If you like Rick and Morty you will love this game!

    Very funny moments. The only bad things i can think of rn are the subtitles that are so small that makes them hard to read sometimes. Otherwise a really fun experience that gives everything that promised in the trailers: hilarious aliens, colorful designs and lots of fun.

    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.

    Inventive and hilarious. I felt completely catered to lol. Great 420 culture humor. Unique combat worth while especially with games pass.

    Game is pretty good.

    BUT! I was playing this on XBOX PC and none of the achievements popped, for me that was extremely annoying, I wasted about 2 hours of time in total trying to fix the issue with no luck.

    The character is a drug addict, and his conversations with Rick and Morty-esque sci-fi are bold and silly. The gameplay is great, graphically very pleasant and what happiness in the game pass.

    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

    Great Humor, nice graphics and the devs are very fast with fixing the tiny bugs, this game have. Would give it a 9/10 but because of the 0/10 ratings, from the Sony ponys, it deserves the 10/10.

    A very very good game. It's funny, it's beautiful, it has originality, nice guns and gameplay in general. There are not so many different enemies and maps but it's a AA game. I gave it a 10 although it's a 8. But all these negative professional reviews but mostly the lack of professional reviews made me to love High on Life even more.

    XSS | 33 Hours (Explored alot, core game probably around 10 hours or less?)

    A crazy and wild game for Roiland and actuality humor fans.

    Even though its technical problems it’s still a fun and pretty unique game in a world of more serious stories and games, nice breath of fresh air.

    You could probably tell by the trailers that this is a comedic game. The humor is obviously subjective. There were moments I laughed out loud and moments I made this face

    This is a very good FPS, not in vain I have been waiting for it for a whole year. In general, I liked the game, but there are too many rough edges in it, it’s clear that they made a shooter for the first time.

    Despite the very bright graphics and excellent design of everything and everything, including the level design, the musical accompaniment is not always good.

    Despite the very bright graphics and excellent design of everything and everything, including the level design, the musical accompaniment is not always good. More precisely, it is good in everything except the battle with enemies. I don't know how they overlooked this moment, but playing against enemies sounds like a terrible cacophony.

    The plot in the game is not bad, but there are a lot of unnecessary and completely unnecessary dialogues, there is a classic drama from scratch, and the same empty resolution of this conflict, and a completely disappointing ending spoiled the impression quite well. But the most important thing is the artificial stretching of the gameplay for repeated exploration of locations, where the reward for this is insignificant and insignificant. Fights with enemies are mediocre, although the bosses are original and it was really interesting to fight against them.

    In general, I recommend the game, it is still a good story shooter, of which there are very few now. Play with Game Pass and buy later at 75% off. Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand

    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 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.
