8.5/10

The game serves as an excellent foundation for (what is hopefully) the start of a franchise. The gameplay is fun, though with flaws, and the writing and story are hilarious, despite overstaying in some parts. And visually speaking, I think this might be one of the best-looking games I’ve played all year, thanks to its unique art direction. As a title that is part of this month’s Game Pass offering...

8/10

Though High on Life takes a bit of time to get the ball rolling and lacks some enemy variety, it's a comical adventure with an excellent opening and finale, and promises plenty of other surprises in store for players.

High on Life is a confident and capable Metroidvania that takes real pleasure in being as weird and outlandish as is reasonably possible. In presenting combat underpinned by chatting weapons and worlds wrought with endless distraction, Squanch Games has created something that is well worth your time, even if some of its elements lack refinement.

8/10

High On Life is dirty, rambunctious and a hell-load of fun. While the comedy, writing and voice acting will not be everyone's cup of tea, the self-referential, meta humour really tickles me silly. It's nice to play a game that does not take itself seriously, pushes the boat out a little and strays from the mainstream cookie-cutter formula. I had a lot of fun with High On Life, its not perfect by a...

High on Life is an awesome and hilarious shooter that feels fantastic on the Steam Deck, with some compromises.

High on Life is nothing if not unique, though its writing and mechanics only go so far.

“High on Life takes the right design cues from Metroid Prime, though uneven comedy makes for a hit-and-miss adventure.”

7/10

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

Squanch Games' sci-fi shooter is a yammering mess of mediocrity.

4/10

High On Life combines sloppy shooter action with Justin Roiland and all of his pals being incredibly annoying. You're either going to love it or hate it, really, so it's lucky this one's hitting Game Pass so you can check it out and decide for yourselves. Personally, this reviewer hated the humour, there's something very off and deeply troubling at the heart of where this game is coming from, it f...

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