Video Game High On Life Review
High On Life (2022) is a shooting adventure game from the creators of Rick and Morty. As you'd expect it's comedic and zany, but cleverly this is delivered by the bombastic boasting sentient weapons as much as other characters.

Play OverviewPlay Overview

High On Life is a shooting adventure game from the creators of Rick and Morty. As you'd expect it's comedic and zany, but cleverly this is delivered by the bombastic boasting sentient weapons as much as other characters.

You play someone just out of high school who takes on an alien cartel trying to take over the planet. Using your stock of varied and personality-filled firepower you go to various planets to take on this nefarious Garmantuous and his gang.

As you progress you collect loot, and meet an array of funny characters and traverse landscapes ranging from a jungle paradise to a city built inside an asteroid and the hub of the cosmos. To do this you need to learn and use the distinct skills and projectiles of each gun.

The result is a game that's both fun and funny. The quirk of the talking guns works well and means that you hear different voice lines at key moments depending on which gun you are using. For those looking for a lighter shooting game than more serious Call of Duty experiences, this is a great option.
