    It's repetitive, but the gameplay is still very fun. The humor is top notch and the characters are solid as well.

    been playing on game pass, so far very good. weapon variety is good and the guns are pretty fun from ammunition to the voice overs. i've got it turned up but its cool you can turn down Justin's frequent voice overs if they start to annoy. graphics are mid but doesn't really hurt the experience because the world design is pretty cool and makes exploring feel good. if you like rick and mortybeen playing on game pass, so far very good. weapon variety is good and the guns are pretty fun from ammunition to the voice overs. i've got it turned up but its cool you can turn down Justin's frequent voice overs if they start to annoy. graphics are mid but doesn't really hurt the experience because the world design is pretty cool and makes exploring feel good. if you like rick and morty cant imagine you not enjoying this but also feels like a game for anyone who likes comedy or first person shooters in general.… Expand

Though the variate of weapons is great, the variety in enemies and combat is non-existent, it becomes repetitive real quickly, as there are only basic enemies(the weak one, the normal one, and the slow big one that deals lots of damage) The boss fights are also repetitive, as they are all based in the same mechanism( you fight the boss, he develops into a stronger boss, he triggers an ability that makes you unable to touch the ground or you`ll die, and this goes on with most of the bosses). there are 3 different type of maps, but they are all generic, so most of the time, you are looking at prefab assets in diffrent aspects and colors. Apart from this, it is still a really fun game to play, and the story is quite good, i think this game is worth playing,
    You can tell their main focus was to make a game that was not just based on combat, but more of a critic to modern generic games, as High on Life tires to be innovative.
    I see lots of people criticizing the way the guns talk and how annoying they can be, but that is the way they are intended to be, as when you are fighting or in a tense moment, you are not going to be comfortable, but instead nervous and annoyed with everihing that may cause you to loose focus.    … Expand

    While the ambition and uniqueness of High on Life warrant a high score on their own, the game is held back by hit-or-miss humor and technical issues.

    Its almost a guarantee that you will smile or laugh out loud at some point during High on Life. How much, however, will depend on your exposure to(and enjoyment of) this type of comedy. Those well versed in modern cartoon comedies like Rick and Morty or Smiling Friends will perhaps not get as many laughs from High on Life. Luckily, High on Life succeeds in other areas. The game has character and(believe it or not) heart. By the end, one is likely to have been satisfied with the journey.

    The combat in High on Life tries to innovate and mostly succeeds. The game is fun, no doubt, especially in the latter half.

    High on Life is a good game, and frankly, one that needed to exist. I loved it. It is recommendable to most, and I sincerely hope it gets patched and we get a sequel soon.

    Note: High on Life is my personal 2nd-runner-up(3rd place) to Game of the Year 2022    … Expand

    The game is funny, gameplay is great with a good mix of platform and shooting! The universe is interesting and different. Music is pretty bad though! I got an annoying bug with one of the boss who disappears suddenly and never comes back.

    Good game :)

    Excellent game with a great sense of humour to it too. Gunplay is good and game mechanics run smooth since the day one update. Won't be for everyone but glad to see a more mature humour game available to play.

    Great game and worth playing. I beat the game in 3 days because I couldn’t put it down. It’s the type of game you’d expect from the creators of Rick & Morty, but not as funny as the show yet still funny enough to make you keep playing. My only complaint was the ending, I won’t elaborate on the bad ending I’ll just let you figure it out.

    Brilliant little adventure shooter packed with adult humour, wonderfully designed characters and an entertaining story. Run smoothly on Xbox Series X once you have the day one patch.

    Loving it.

    Un respiro de aire fresco es esta era de basura incompleta cargadas de agendas políticas, el humor excelente y si no es para ti puedes simplemente reducir las interacciones de las armas, después de 6 horas jugando seguía entretenido y con ganas de seguir.
    No te lo recomiendo si eres alguien que es muy sensible que se ofende por todo y no eres capaz de disfrutar el humor.

    A very enjoyable game. High on Life makes fun of its self and kept me laughing throughout.
    There are some visual bugs here and there, also a few times I had to restart a checkpoint to fix game breaking bugs. FPS issues were fixed in a Day 1 patch and am sure more patches will come.
    Overall High on Life has a great game play and level design that kept me coming back for more.

    Great game, this is what i was looking for, from Halo. A fun story to get into. Not sure why the bad meta reviews. Game pass is for gamers, and xbox knows its audience. I hope Xbox doesn’t fall into making Cinematic Button Smashers like Sony. Where you watch the game play by itself, No controller needed. Entertainment vs Gaming

    High On Life is a 10! It is the first first-person shooter, that I've enjoyed playing in a long time. Every map had such a unique style, that has not been done in any game IMO. The colors and the creatures like the Mopplets were so well done. The boss fights were all fun, the Metroid-like levels where you have to use all the gun's abilities to find all the secrets.

    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.
