High on Life is an FPS filled with absurd humor. The latter is not surprising, considering the fact that it was developed by the Squanch Games studio, a team co-founded by Justin Roiland - one of the creators of the popular animated series called Rick and Morty.

Plot

High on Life presents a grim vision. Earth has been invaded by aliens who use humans as... drugs. The main character of the game is a freshly graduated from high school, devoid of ambition and plans for the future. Unexpectedly, the protagonist becomes a galactic bounty hunter and his task is to stop the invaders led by evil Garmantuous. Our hero is not alone, as he is constantly accompanied by his guns and cold weapons, which are... intelligent and very talkative life forms. The various instruments of murder have their own faces and personalities and often share their observations and comments on the events in which they take part. In addition, there are various funny characters scrolling in the background.

GameSpot: 7 / 10 by Jason Fanelli

Squanch Games' trademark humor mixes with solid shooting and traversal in this goofy space romp.

Full Review

Game Informer: 5.8 / 10 by Marcus Stewart

Despite multiple shortcomings and my general aversion to the game’s writing, High on Life has occasional glimmers of potential. I’d like to see a sequel polish and improve upon this foundation. I’m always itching for more creative takes on shooters, but High on Life is a reminder that “different” doesn’t always mean “good.”

Eurogamer: by Edwin Evans-Thirlwell

A miserable cocktail of ideas from other action-platformers and the worst parts of Rick and Morty.
