    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.

    High on life is a game designed for Rick and Morty fans, the way they get the humor to fit perfectly in every occassion is just fascinating,
    The variety in weapons, and the cool ways they find to make each and every one of them special in it´s own way. 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Such a freshing game that doesn't take itself seriously. I loved the comedy and the more casual FPS elements. Too many games these days take combat far too seriously and it's nice to have a more casual game that doesn't require any sort of grind or complex mechanics which you easily forget after 2 days away from the game. A very good looking game also. Cannot wait for the sequel.

    I enjoyed High of Life. I never sat down and watched a full episode of Rick & Morty, or any of Justin Roiland's IPs, and still had fun playing the game.

    High on Life is carried by its humor. I think most people will tell you that. I laughed with the game from start to finish. The characters, plot and scenarios are all charming and the game does not take itself seriously at all. It does not try to be some gritty, action game but instead feels more like a summer comedy (more on that later). One example, in the beginning of the game, you meet this washed-up alien bounty hunter named Gene who is essentially your Ben Kenobi-like mentor. He stays with you throughout the whole game but the jokes that highlight his washed-upness, laziness and vulgarness never get old. I enjoyed his quips and the other character's complaints about him, often literally loling. And Gene is just one funny character, they game does not have any shortage of humor: Dark, potty, this game has all of it.

    Now, it is truly best enjoyed as an interactive summer comedy, as stated above. That's because the shooting mechanics and guns leave a lot to be desired. For example, early in the game, you get this funny shotgun named Gus. However, the shotgun lacks the "oomf" that a shotgun typically has in FPS games. It just feels weak. At times when I thought the shotgun would come in handy, I just used the default pistol instead because it worked better. There's other weapons in the game but, unlike the pistol, they feel niche and don't get the job done as efficiently. But matter of fact, the gunplay and shoot mechanics as a while feel weak and floaty. The shooting does not particularly feel great; it often feels floaty. Although, there are numerous upgrades and modifiers you can purchase of your weapons, which is admittedly surprisingly.

    That said, this problem can be overridden by tuning the game's difficulty to story mode. This makes the game a cakewalk, with the exception of the final boss, who still almost killed me. Although this does make the game too-easy, it does allow you to focus on your weapons' banter, storyline and humor (again think summer comedy) that carry the game.

    That said, I can only recommend this game if you pick it up on GamePass. It lacks a lot of content for $60 game. There is no multiplayer component or endgame content to make me feel like I got my money's worth out of it. However, as a game that released on GamePass day one, I think anyone down for a good laugh should play it.

    As I said many times in this interview, let it be a funny movie and you'll really enjoy it.

    Très bon jeu, change des shooters qu'on a l'habitude de voir. Côté technique c'est bon aussi bien sur one que sur series, pas ou peu de bug

    Luego de los últimos parches el juego es una joya. Agrandaron los subtítulos. Me divertí como con ningún otro. Tiene mucho humor y la historia está buena. Me gustó el diseño de los personajes y las armas re locas

    Very funny universe. The story and how the characters speak themself is hilarious, the game is pretty cool despite the gameplay too much mundane

    8 rating would be a stretch, but the Xbox series s version is a solid 6

    I am a big fan of Rick and Morty, so I loved the foul-mouthed guns and characters present in this game. I did have a few problems with glitches, i.e. getting stuck in the architecture where I used my jetpack too high looking for loot. In certain boss fights I also got stuck through no fault of my own because

    I did have a few problems with glitches, i.e. getting stuck in the architecture where I used my jetpack too high looking for loot. In certain boss fights I also got stuck through no fault of my own because the next segment didn't load.

    The story is relatively short, bit there are weapon upgrades you can purchase if you return to the levels and find the hiddenboxes (some have collectable garbage pail kids type trading cards, some have weapon upgrades, some have straight money)

    Another issue with it is how they only have 4 weapons, yet instead of jusy mapping each to one D pad arrow, they only use the left and right arrow to cycle.

    I enjoyed the graphics, sound effects, and dialog, but the music was lame generic scifi.

    My gf loved all the colors in the game. A vibrant palate of purples greens blues and pinks.

    Thr enemies are covered in this goop that shields them. It reminded me of one of my favorite promo games ever, CHEX QUEST.

    I wouldn't have bought the game but I'm glad it was available day one on Xbox game pass.

    High on life enjoyable game but outlast its welcome with reiterated humor. Creative narrative story along with colorfully characters and languages. Standard gameplay with beautiful graphics! Worth a play on the Xbox

    Hilarious as hell and very creative, this sits in a class entirely of its own. Not your old school fps at all. Some of the comedic elements of the game had me in tears laughing, like the sock-puppet threesome. Gameplay, world and sound are all quite good. Some of the city locations could have been richer with more activity and NPC dialogue, but the whack writing and jokes balance that out.Hilarious as hell and very creative, this sits in a class entirely of its own.

    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.

    It can be hard to separate what is ironically bad and what is just, well, bad. [Issue#381, p.100]

    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.
