    This is the surprise hit of the year for me. I didn't know what to expect, but it's an absolutely hilarious game that made me very immersed. Fun action, good gameplay, incredible writing and characters, and I am not even really a fan of the creators, but they really knocked it out of the park with this one.

    I have no idea what some of the critics were playing, but this game is brilliant. The humour is on point constantly, you never get a dull moment. The graphics and soundtrack are too notch, really stunning. Especially the visual style. The frame rate hold up at 60fps with very few hiccups. (Series X)
    There are light puzzles as you play through, which add to the platforming gameplay.    I have no idea what some of the critics were playing, but this game is brilliant.

    There are light puzzles as you play through, which add to the platforming gameplay. It’s just a delight to play, and reminds me of a time back when developers took chances on concepts that were outside of the norms… not another COD clone or sports title. This is a smash hit and will be a huge cult classic. Play it and fall in love!!    … Expand

    Even if it's not your brand of humor, this is an outstanding FPS game. The unique weapons offer up dynamic gameplay. The traversal system makes getting around satisfying and brisk. The colorful art style and graphics create an energetic and upbeat vibe. The boss fights are challenging. And the game does not overstay its welcome like an Ubisoft game. Short and sweet.

    But I happen to dig its humor, so overall this was one of the best games of the year for me, and a welcome surprise. I don't understand how these so called professional reviewers gave it such lackluster scores. But hey, they gave Disco Elysium nines and tens, so what do they know.    … Expand

    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.

    Es un juego de 8, pero está lleno de gente woke que le pone un 0, solo porque se ríen de ellos. Por eso le pongo un 10.

    Que puedo decir de este titulo, me he pasado 13h partiendome de risa, es normal siendo del creador de Rick y Morty, si se gusta ese tipo de humor y los shooters este es tu juego.

    One of the best, most entertaining and enjoyable game of 2022.
    Its short and sweet, it took me around 16 hours to complete. It's a very funny game, even people who are not fans of FPS games will like this game because of the humor and cheese dialogues.

    A must play game without any doubt.

Especially, how creative the characters and their dialogue are and how funny it is to listen to. You can tell how hard the crew put their all into this game, with so much dialogue and fun combat. The character guns are so cool also, how they talk to you and how their own upgrades cater to them or how they react to everything around you and everyone else. Literally, makes you think how much time actually went into development into that alone. Even the A.I are hilarious, but VERY intelligent. The way they take cover, taunt you, and at times even are programmed to attack other A.I that they don't get along with. Amazing game can't wait to see all the more DLC guns and content for this sick game.    … Expand

    I think the people who hate the game, just don't understand the humor.

    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.

    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.

Las situaciones alocadas, diálogos constantes y el sentido del humor pueden ser sus puntos fuertes... o débiles, dependiendo de vuestros gustos. Pero si os mola Rick & Morty, lo vais a disfrutar seguro.
    LO MEJOR: Las constantes situciones absurdas que plantea. Tiroteos entretenidos y con un buen abanico de posibilidades.
    LO PEOR: Los diálogos terminan resultando cansinos (aun reduciendo su frecuencia). Traducción en español neutro. Que no te guste su sentido del humor.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
