High on Life 2 is a sequel to the wildly humorous sci-fi FPS from 2022, titled High on Life. The game was developed by the creators of the original, namely Squanch Games studio.

Gameplay

In High on Life 2 we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The adventure leads us through various locations, such as a galactic convention, a zoo full of aliens, or a futuristic liner for the wealthiest inhabitants of the universe. While exploring them and accomplishing the missions set before us, we primarily focus on eliminating hordes of enemies.

Chatty guns and a skateboard

The game once again provides us with guns that are essentially alien and quite talkative forms of life. Among them, we will find both old acquaintances, like Kenny's pistol, Gus's shotgun, or Creature's grenade launcher, as well as completely new ones. They include a flamethrower, a peculiar nail gun, a pair of revolvers in love, as well as a bow.

Console Creatures: 7 / 10 by Bobby Pashalidis

High on Life 2 might be bigger, but does that make it better? In a few ways, yes, it is fun because it has some new mechanics, like a skateboard to explore and lots of charming guns to use. Those come at the cost of clear technical mishaps, including slowdowns and glitches that often rear their ugly heads.

Video Chums: 8.4 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski

High On Life 2 presents such a constant barrage of ridiculous humour and memorable gameplay scenarios that it can be a great deal of fun. At the same time, its core gameplay is quite simple and not everyone will appreciate its world's cynical albeit colourful lens. ??
