    Its rare a game comes along and makes me laugh out loud as much as this did. I love the humor so much I actually want to listen to what npcs are gonna say next. Im now a huge fan of Squanch Games thanks to Xbox Game Pass.

    I haven't seen such a good sense of humor in a long time. Finally again a game that simply shows what it is and not just copypasted all functions like Ubisoft.

    Colorful and Entertaining. Gives a Rick and Morty Cartoon Vibes. And the Gun is Morty keeps your spirit up always. Gameplay is your typical first person shooter. The real winner are the characters and how it gives a different experience that your regular First Person Gameplay. Must try.

    The craziest game in history. It is an experience that anyone over the age of eighteen must live through in comedy and action high on life

    This game is very dependent on whether you like the humour. At first I thought it was quite funny, but it got a bit annoying a couple hours in. That's not the main reason I score it low though. The gameplay is kinda boring and there are some game breaking issues. Performance wasn't great but the biggest issue is the checkpoint system. I got stuck a few hours in and it checkpointed me.

    I'm actually speechless that critics are dumping on this and at the same time praising Pentiment as some sort of second coming. Pentiment was complete, utter, self-serving, agenda shoving LAZY trash that loves the smell of its own farts. High on Life however, it's just pure fun. ...And some fart jokes.

    I can't say for sure if you'll love this game without being a Rick and Morty fan. There's zero connection to the show beyond the voice actors and creator, but the humor is very similar. That being said, I have heard people say they aren't really into R&M but love this game. Personally, this was the best experience I've had playing on my Series X. The graphics are slick, with a style that shows a lot of creativity and love. The writing is hilarious -- honestly this is classic LucasArts level of humor (and meta-humor.) The gunplay isn't best-in-class but it's more than serviceable. Did I mention how funny this game is yet? Literally laughed out loud many, many times.

    It is SO refreshing to play an original game that has no motive beyond entertaining me and making me laugh. The AAA and Indie scene has gone very stale, hopefully some of those creative types take a break to get High on Life before making their next game. We need more entertainment focused on fun.    … Expand

    Le début du jeu est tonitruant et déborde d’un humour… assez particulier, pour ne pas dire bassement bête et provocateur, voire idiot et irrévérencieux… et particulièrement vulgaire ! avec une allusion (private joke) bien vue à Fallout 3 certes mais tout cela tourne rapidement en rond…

    La jouabilité se révèle répétitive et très médiocre… simplette et réduite à sa plus simple expression, sans nuance, bête et brutale : tire sur des trucs avec ton flingue qui parle…! et c’est qu’il en raconte des conneries, ce flingue (on dirait Némo !). Tous ces dialogues de plus en plus ineptes qui parlent pour ne rien dire, s’avèrent d’ailleurs très fatigants.

    Quand on ne flingue pas, on saute et on s’accroche : ce n’est ici qu’un jeu de plateformes en vue subjective, rapidement ennuyeux. L’environnement est de mauvais goût et très criard… on dirait un indé en 256 couleurs ! alors qu’en vérité, c’est tout de même un peu mieux que ça.

    Mais sur consoles, du moins, il ne tient jamais ses 60 im/s et fait le yoyo : c’est très désagréable, surtout au vu de la tronche du jeu et de ses niveaux étriqués ! Enfin bref, on ne va pas y passer la nuit : ce jeu est une daube ! il s’est cru très main et très ‘marrant’… mais il est simplement con comme ses pieds !    … Expand

High on life es un juego fantástico, tiene un humor bastante negro pero entretenido con grandes referencias a otros sagas y a diferentes personajes del mundo del espectáculo. Los jefes tienen su dificultad y cada uno tiene su forma para derrotarlos. Que las armas tengan su propia personalidad le da un añadido extra al videojuego que lo hace algo innovador, además el tutorial es una sátira a los juegos shooter antiguos. Si quieres pasar un buen rato y disfrutar de un shooter innovador este es tu juego. No niego que de salida presento algunos problemas de rendimientos pero fueron solucionados rápidamente por eso mi nota es un 9/10 sino alcanzaría la máxima… Expand

    An interesting game. Overall I'd say the game is about a 7/10 in terms of gameplay and design etc, a solid metroidvania fps.

I never played a gamr like this ever because of the pointless dialogue yet funny to hear makes me wanted to hear to the end unlike any other game and the boss fight is challenging enough and yet hilarious. Also some live dialogue are well scripted for example in the first combat with kenny if we pause the game he will go mad and said “WHY TF YOU PAUSED THE GAME ARE YOU AN IDIOT!!” whoch i find it surprised of how does he know we paused the game and such and the adventure reminds me of platforming game like spongebob’s but on crack. Overall best game ever played because it’s on gamepass so you don’t need to paid full price to enjoy it… Expand

    So honestly looking around at all the Easter eggs is amazing. The game is what you're going to get if you're a fan of Justin. Seriously some ppl need to lighten up. If you're a fan it's fun if not then maybe it's not a game for you.

    The actual gameplay is extremely basic and the enemy variety is the lowest I've seen in a very long time. The minimap and waypoint system is barely usable.

    The humor is very hit or miss and roiland doing the same stammering annoying voice for 12 hours was nearly unbearable. That's not even mentioning the half dozen soft locks and other bugs.

    This game has kept me laughing all the way through. Obviously there is some repeated dialogue, but for me it isn’t over the top. There is an included option to lower the frequency of dialogue as well. The game runs perfect and looks gorgeous on my Xbox Series X. My only gripe is the worlds could feel more alive, there are a bit of an empty and alone feeling in some areas.

    Awesome game ,if u like raunchy comedy like Rick and Morty or married with children , if are from the younger generation and find everything sensitive then it's not for u but if u are older school and like old school lots of bad words ,and many raunchy and insults and drugs etc. Then this is going to make u laugh hard and if u are a stoner expect to piss your pants if u play this stoned

    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.
