I have mixed feelings. High On Life is a game that relies heavily on its writing, but if you're not a fan of the Rick & Morty "everyone sounds awkward" style of humour, there's not much else to be found here. I ended up using Gus for most of the game because JB Smoove had the least annoying voice.

The core gameplay is fast-paced shooting combined with exploration, platforming, and boss fights. Each weapon has its own personality and abilities, which keeps combat fresh and entertaining. However, the shooting mechanics are fairly simple compared to top shooters.

The biggest strength of the game is its humor. The talking guns constantly joke, argue, and react to situations, making the experience feel alive and unpredictable. The game’s absurd comedy and strange alien world make it stand out from other shooters.

However, the humor is polarizing. Some players find it hilarious, while others feel the jokes can become repetitive or annoying over time.

Graphics, World, and Design

The environments are colorful, strange, and creative, with alien cities, strange creatures, and imaginative worlds. The art style is vibrant and cartoon-like, which matches the game’s comedic tone perfectly.

Exploring different planets and discovering secrets adds variety to the experience.

Final Rating: 8 / 10
Pros:
Very funny and unique concept
Talking guns with personality
Creative alien worlds
Fun and satisfying combat
Great voice acting

Cons:
Humor may not appeal to everyone
Shooting mechanics are basic
Some technical issues
Story is simple

Brilliant, irreverent, laugh out loud ultraviolence. Even if you are thoroughly sick of Rick and Morty at this point, this one is such brilliant, dumb fun that it's hard to stop playing.
