    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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. 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!

    Fortunately, I was wrong. This game will introduce you to a completely original universe with grade characters, great development of the story, and fantastic gameplay. High on Life is not Halo; it doesn't pretend to be at that

As a shooter, sadly medicore but fun dialogs and "fresh" story if you think that aliens snorting human DNA to make them high is fun.

    Hey, and again, it's made by those geniuses that came up with Rick and Morty... if that is enough for you to get moist enough to drop your controller because of how moist that makes you, dive right in! It has some nice funny dialog, some wacky (Roiland style) TV Shows and some more wacky stuff to keep morons like me entertained, but still a 5/10 sadly.

    Long read:
    Of course, you MUST play this if you are one of the "R&M fanatics" who thinks anything done by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon MUST be good by definition, moronic critics like me be damned (oh, the downvotes, yes, I am very interested in you denying me my much-needed affirmation on metacritic.... boohoo).

    If you're one of the above, then you're also a pro in lying to yourself - and even worse, others - that the controls of this game are Halo-like (in fact, Master Chief can go suck an alien dong, what good did he ever do or even say?). You'd rationalize the talking gun sidekick in High on Life is not getting on your nerves 10 minutes in and the dialogs, though fresh at points and obviously not "shootery" at all are getting tired a few hours in - add to that mediocre graphics and utterly crappy "music" (that R&M fans will tell you HAS to be like that or it would not be funny) - then go ahead and dive right in...

    The Rick & Morty-Verse is clearly divided into people that think "Anything done by anyone involved in R&M is pure gold, so everyone who doesn't like it clearly has no PhD in intelligent humoristics and the counterside is populated by haters (insert the opposite and something like "I find it a bit trite and too hard-trying") I sit right in the middle -

    the game itself, mechanically speaking is - very sadly - utter crap. Period. Controls feel gooey (for a shooter-type game, that's bad, people...) and the Morty-voice-talking-gun sidekick gets so very annoying as the game progresses - and R&M fans will point out that this is made exactly because of that and you NEED to love it, if you think it's annoying, you're annoying, fartknocker.

    The good side of the title definitely are the very funny undertones, outside of the try-hard gun talk bits, too much "alt humor" in my taste.

    The "story" if we want to call it that could be that of any R&M type try-hard show or even an episode of the very same... it's generic and the strewn-in humorous undertone is trying to shovel enough funny over the dirtpile that is the engine and the very medicore "shoot anything that's moving if it has a red reticule" gameplay in-between the dialog bits.

    The game is definitely not interesting outside of the story - even worse, it plays about as well as Postal 4 does (another try-hard failing to reclaim old glory days).

    Swap out the story and Justin Roiland's grating Morty-style voicework and you'd have a pure non-sale.

    It's good enough if you can overlook the really bad controls, lazy level design and being swarmed with hundreds of generic aliens and other blobs of graphic that try to paint over the fact they're badly designed by spouting "funny" things at you - and to add to that of course your talking gun comments on your shooting ... which is funny and fresh for the first 2 hours and then you wish there was a big effing sticker to put on that gun's Morty-mouth.

    This is a solid game. The game is short and sweet. The humor is funny but the more you play the more it feels like the same jokes over and over.

    High on Life is really a kind of unique game, different if you know what i mean, i really enjoyed the humor it has, and hearing Justin Roiland is awesome, really fan of Rick n Morty although this is far from a Rick n Morty game, that im thankful of, but it is the same sense of humor Rick n Morty has.

    Played the game the day it was released, and the game felt really bad, trying to run 60

    Played the game the day it was released, and the game felt really bad, trying to run 60 fps but the game struggled a lot, some minor bugs, but the game updated really fast, and fixed some bugs and thankfully the 60 fps problem.

    Now talking about gameplay, dont expect a really unique gameplay, you got 5 different guns that you collect during the game, and these guns can talk, first gun you get is named Kenny, and Kenny got voiced by Justin Roiland, basically Morty´s voice, almost the same kind of acting as in Morty´s. Serves as a regular pistol, but got a glob shot alternate fire is a large explosive shot, it jumps enemies to the air doing some damage.

    Then we got Knifey, its just a talking knife, kinda funny dialogs he got, but nothing more to add.

    We also got Gus, kind of a frog shotgun, with a shooting metal saw.

    We got Sweezy too, its like a handgun machine gun, idk what type of "animal" or thing it is, but its a girl, not a big dialog also as Gus.

    We got Creature that shoots little characters that attaches to the body of the enemy and start making damage, also got a mind controlling shot, really helpfull for crowd control, kind of a pacifist.

    And at last but not least we got Lezduit, it only got one kind of "shot" that is kind of a electrifying shot, this weapon is used only for the last mission.

    Truthout the game, you can notices that you only go after bosses, and the storyline is kind of short, i completed the game in 12 hours 33 minutes, but some people finished it on 5 hours.

    The bosses are different one from another and got different attacks and different movements, also obviously different story´s, and although the story is not a mind blowing one, it is kind of interesting, all the universe aspect and humor it got into it, kind of work together and make a very good gaming experience, really glad that we get to play this type of game, really liked that it is a First Person Shooter game but different in his own way.

    The Rick&Morty-esque humor is great and really resonated with me. The problem is the gameplay. It’s very…average, to say the least. Nothing new, nothing noteworthy. It isn’t *bad*, it’s just not great. If you have gamepass I’d say try it; there’s a 50/50 chance it might be worth the download. Otherwise I’d say skip it.

    This game is awesome! First off it is made by one of the creator's of Rick and Morty and it shows. The main voice actor in the game is the voice actor for Morty himself and he is so funny! If you like RIck and Morty humor this game is for you, and man it was for me!

    Here are some positives:
    - Short campaign with a lot to do. I am a fan of the 10-12 hour campaign, I do not need every game to be a 100 hours of fetch quests. This is a shorter and more refined experience that focuses on art style, funny writing, and good FPS gameplay and platforming.
    - Combat and movement feel good and are very different. As you get new abilities, suit upgrades, and weapons you can move and kill in new ways. It is very fun in that regard.
    - The story is actually really fun and compelling. You are a bounty hunter seeking to take down a cartel from the bottom up.
    - The cast of characters are great. All the Guns have super funny personalities and even a touching and tragic backstory that you will learn about throughout the story.
    - The game is FUNNY. If you like Rick and Morty, play this game. If you like this game watch Rick and Morty.
    - The graphics and art direction pops off the screen.
    - The main villain is absolutely the worst in the best way, and by the lost boss battle you will be so ready to end its life.
    - The boss battles are a fun combination of puzzle combat and shooting.
    - The worlds are beautiful and colorful.
    - The worldbuilding is also really great and clever. There is definitely room for a sequel, I like the lore and factions in the world a lot.
    - Variety in locations and enemy types.
    - The achievement hunt it so good! You can, with a guide get 100% completion in one playthrough.
    - The length is perfect. I want to say my playthrough was around 12 hours with near total achievement completion. I love shorter focused campaigns because I can replay them and it ups the quality. This is one of those classic 12-15 hour shooter campaigns from back in the 360 days.

    You should play this game, I have no clue why it got bombed so hard it doesn't deserve it at all. Play it on game pass now!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A really videogame ass game. This is a true straight-shooter of a game (no pun intended). If you are looking for a laid back and linear shooter to take a break from the constant barrage of massive RPGs we get, High on Life could be for you.

    I never watched Rick and Morty really, but I would imagine the humor is directly aligned with the show. I found the comedy to be relentlessly okay. Meaning, it never stopped, but it was all solid jokes that were never too funny. Only on occasion did the quips become obnoxious. I stress the humor factor of this game because that is what I am assuming you are excepting when you dive into this game.

    With an entry point of $60, you would be much better off just getting game pass for a month if you don't already have it, in order to play the game. It is a short experience with very few side objectives to do. The shooting mechanics are average to below average and I found myself using only one of the four main guns much more often than not.

    Visually it doesn't knock your socks off, but it certainly has a unique art style. The various alien species you meet aren't incredibly diverse, especially the enemies you fight. Almost every enemy looks the exact same and you fight them in very one dimensional ways. The bosses are the best part of any combat you engage in, as they are all unique from one another. However, fighting the bosses did feel slightly uninspired and traditional. I noticed very little stuttering in the framerate unless there was a lot of enemies or NPC's on screen at once.

    More on the technical side of things; I did notice a lot of minor but annoying glitches. Sometimes a character's dialogue wouldn't start when it was supposed to. This lead to long moments of silence where I wasn't sure what to do. A couple times I had to restart the game because the next objective wouldn't commence. It was not anything egregious, but still slightly annoying.

    When it comes to whether or not I would recommend High on Life, I would say it depends on what you are looking for. All together, it was a solid experience that I hope they can build on in a potential sequel. They could hopefully flesh out the mechanics with more variations in combat and enemy design. The bosses, which were the main draw of the combat, was a bright spot in the experience. I could definitely see a future in which High on Life 2 comes out and it is simply bigger and better. For now, you have a 10-15 hour linear FPS with some solid jokes and a lot of concepts that are good, but could eventually be finetuned to make a stellar sequel. This is a good starting point for a franchise and we will see if it was a successful enough game for us to get 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.
