    Not much to say the game feels very similar to Duke nukem forever just a bit more polished and Rick and Morty humor . Not a bad game but it can get repetitive

    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.

    Really great game, the shooting mechanics and gameplay is solid, graphics are great and the jokes land more so than not.

    Either will be a cult classic classic/hidden gem or the start of a new franchise. I hope it's the latter, this game has a lot of potential. A sequel that builds and expands on this universe would be a must-play and a masterpiece

    Awsome Game, Games media were upset that this game wasn't inclusive enough and didn't have enough POC representation,,, even though it was set on an Alien planet, filled with diverse Aliens..This game is full of originality and great humour. Tons of work must have gone into this experience with so many interactions voice acted and it pays off.

    High on Life is a true masterpiece that only those with a negative attitude would criticize. The ability to edit gun chatter adds a unique element to the game and makes it a more enjoyable experience. The creators, Justin Roiland and his team, have done a fantastic job in creating a game that is both fun and engaging. I highly recommend trying this game and getting lost in its world.

    The game has beautiful colours and a really fun and wonky combat. Not to mention it's absolutely hilarious, if you're a fan of Rick and Morty, you'll absolutely love the comedy aspect of this game.

    Overall High On Life is a great game and it's very funny. Gunplay is fun and satisfying, alongside the great addition of the "knifeplay". If you like Rick and Morty's sense of humor you are at the right place (and there are a lot of jokes hidden everywhere in the maps)!

    Jogo muito divertido, me lembrou os jogos do início dos anos 2000 com muitas referências e boas piadas, infelizmente não tem legendas em português, espero que o estúdio traga as legendas.

    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.

    What will take it higher or lower for you if the humor. If you find it funny you'll like it even more but if you're not a fan of Justin Roiland's humor you'll probably hate it. Also if the guns talking is annoying to you don't worry, they quiet down almost a    An interesting game.

    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.

    Such a fun and unique game, so much detail in the world that you never know what you could find just by wandering off the beaten track! Game mechanics are fun, upgrades feel meaningful, and the bosses each offer a unique experience and challenge. The story is well written and satisfying from start to finish!

The artwork the side stuff you can do exploration and everything does really make you play more and more. You want to see what’s going to happen next all the time. The chests are sometimes very easy and sometimes so hard to find. I love the colour palette and graphic style they used. High on Life is hell of a treat and I urge you all to play this game. I do not understand why the f…. the review sites gave 59 on average to this game. Don’t listen to them. Grab it but it get it on gamepass and figure out your way of saving the humanity!! !… Expand

    There are a couple little bugs (not annoying) and when there are a ridiculous amount of enemies, there are some little dips in Performance. This can be polished.

    The final verdict is a big +
    I give it a 8.5, what makes it a 9. I love it!

    Ignore the Ponies hating on this game and focus on Xbox players that actually play(ed) this game.

    Enjoy this crazy, fun and good game :)    … Expand

    El juego me ha divertido mucho, aunque gráficamente esta regular, pero está acompañado de buenos diálogos con una historia divertida, es un juego que debes jugar si o si.

    Lo cuestionable es que es un humor negro, toca temas que no a todo el mundo le hacen sentir cómodo y para nada es un juego de niños, aunque en lo personal me ha encantado.

    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.
