High on Life

This game was absolutely enthralling and definitely one of the best games I have played in a while. Its hilarious and there's always something to discover or experience. I still believe that I probably haven't found half of the funny Easter eggs/secrets in this game. Despite that the game is relatively small its so massive in its own way. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect score was that it was a little buggy, but overall it didn't effect my enjoyment of the experience; overall the fantastic nature of the game takes you away from the few minor issues. This game deserves all the love its receiving and more, so go check it out if you're on the fence.

Ladies and gentlemen! That's 1000000 out of 10. One of the best games I've ever played! Everything is good here, the atmosphere, the humor, the graphics. A bunch of hiding places, a bunch of Easter eggs. You can even watch 3 real movies! One with the creator of the game, who comments on it. Justin and his team are the best thing I've ever seen! This is a very professional job!! Thanks! Don't listen to anyone about your violence case! You are the best! You are very popular in Russia, and you can earn more money if you do Russian voice acting and subtitles.

You have a very huge fan base in Russia, and we have a cool dubbing voice that immerses you in the atmosphere you've created. Keep releasing games and cartoons, you are a very cool dude!!

This is an absolutely enjoyable game, especially if you are a Rick & Morty or Solar Opposites fan, or resonate with satirical story, violence and drug usage. The graphics are beautiful, and the dialogue is very in line with Justin Roiland's other works and game (Trover Saves the Universe). The gameplay is fun and the story is replete with comedic violence, throwbacks and commentary and metacommentary. I haven't found anything about the game that I don't enjoy or appreciate, as the game just came out I haven't finished it yet but so far it is most excellent.

Parents beware, this game, as the title should suggest, is not appropriate for children.

9/10.

People (should) immediately know what they're walking into with the dialogue and writing of this game. That being said, High on Life was a surprisingly competent single player FPS in 2022. It's even ACTUALLY funny in a few moments (I personally don't find Justin Roiland's type humor that amusing, but there is whit in a few exchanges that happen.)

The game plays like a modest DooM clone, waves of enemies, plenty of dodging, shooting, using movement abilities. High On Life has significantly fewer guns but each gun has a character personality that fits in with the mood of the gun being used. The enemies and locations aren't anything particular to write home about, but they also don't overstay their welcome unless players decide to go for 100%.

I will admit I didn't feel the desire to 100% the game because even though world traversal is swift and easy, total post-game completion is a tedious slog. Being said, if they do decide to release DLC or another game, I'd probably be willing to pick Bounty Hunting back up for another go.

As a huge fan of Solar Opposites, I couldn't resist diving into Justin Roiland's latest creation, "High on Life." From the moment I started playing, I knew I was in for a wild ride. This first-person shooter with light open-world elements places you in a bizarre sci-fi universe where Earth is in the clutches of aliens who want to turn humans into a smokable commodity. As a bounty hunter battling the henchmen of the main antagonist, you'll quickly find yourself immersed in this quirky world.

The gameplay itself is solid but not groundbreaking. While the action is fun and fast-paced, it doesn't quite reach the "ultra-spectacular" heights you might expect from a modern FPS. Instead, the real draw here is the world-building and, of course, the humor. There are five weapons at your disposal, each with its own personality voice, adding a unique twist to the typical shooter experience. Kenny, voiced by Justin Roiland, stands out as the heart of the game, delivering witty and often hilarious commentary that playfully pokes fun at video game tropes.

What really caught me off guard was the depth of the storytelling. I was pleasantly surprised by the plot twists and character arcs that show the developers poured a lot of love into this project. The combat pits you against hordes of minions, but each lieutenant you face has its own unique battle mechanics, which kept the experience fresh and exciting.

The voice acting is top-notch, particularly Roiland's performance. Despite the controversies surrounding his career, it's clear that he has a real talent for bringing characters to life through voice. The game's soundtrack, featuring a mix of intentionally cheesy '50s sci-fi music, adds a charming layer to the overall experience. And let's not forget those achievement names-I actually found myself chuckling at some of them!

I clocked around 22 hours in "High on Life," which I enjoyed thoroughly. The combat can feel a bit repetitive after a while, but the humor and world make up for it. Overall, I'd say this game is a solid 8/10 and I'm genuinely curious to see how they'll expand this universe in a potential sequel. If you appreciate a good laugh alongside your sci-fi action, this game is definitely worth your time.
