High on Life is a fantastic addition to the Xbox catalog. Even if it wasn’t in Xbox Gamepass I would be recommending you play this game for its story, Metroidvania exploration and Trick Holes. Since it’s included with Xbox Gamepass it’s a no-brainer to check out. If you are a fan of the Roiland style humor then you are in for a real treat. There were so many times I had to pause the game and set the controller down because I was so shocked by something that was said or done. It was a pleasant surprise to be caught off guard like that in a game and I really look forward to what Squanch Games does next. Hopefully it's a sequel to this must play game.

the best computer game in the world. I dream of communicating with the creator personally.
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.

High On Life unapologetically caters to advent fans of absurdist comedy, which overflows with expletive language and wacky scenarios. Lack of enemy variety and performance issues may be a deterrent for some, however.

A fun FPS that gets better with every new talking gun you get. The wild situations, constant banter and sense of humor can either be great or a bummer, depending on your tastes. But if you like Rick & Morty, you're going to love it.

High On Life is a Comedy FPS that hits its target with its writing but not so much with its shooting. Too bad there's no localised version because it's really funny.

It can be hard to separate what is ironically bad and what is just, well, bad. [Issue#381, p.100]

Anyone who isn’t thrilled at the idea of having Roiland constantly chattering in their ear for a dozen hours straight will likely find the game’s incessant need to force itself on the player annoying. With the addition of uncompelling combat, frustrating exploration, and a lack of anything else to offer players, High on Life is one of the most annoying, derivative, and slogging experiences in years.

High on life is PACKED with creativity and just masterpiece humor. Really good graphics wih vibrant visuals, and the world feels just so alive. The voice acting is so good especially Michael Cusack as Knifey, and that brings as to characters they are really memorable and really likeable. Mechanics i really like them, and quirky info about the abbilities or overall the info about characters, item’s they are filled with just good landing jokes. Exploration is really enjoyable too. Each weapon feels good and fun to use. You can never really predict what is going to happen because this game is filled with **** environments are full of detail.Overall the best thing about high on life is it’s sense of humor, it never takes itself too seriously. Also the storyline is really clever and unpredictable. This is a one of a kind game for me this game is 10/10 it’s a MUST PLAY

A mindless fun point and shoot game. Story isn’t anything worth noting really, it seems like a second thought to the gameplay and ridiculous characters/dialogue. Fun though

The game delivers what it promises. It has a good plot, good gameplay and is also funny. I highly recommend it if you are on Game Pass.

A humor FPS, made by a humor expert, that isn't funny, and it's not a good FPS either.Humor with forced jokes; that rarely works. The story is initially interesting... which could be good if it actually had some continuity and it didn't cease to exist, has we enter in a loop where the only objective is to hunt bosses from an alien cartel without adding much more. The weapons are cool, but the game gets boring early on and doesn't get better. I don't recommend it. The most boring Platinum I've ever achieved.

This game just gets worse the more you play it, extremely bad gunplay, ugly graphics, bugs, and lame humor that eventually grates the nerves.
