High On Life

It's not a revolutionary in any way, but it plays fine and the humor really elevates the game experience. Can absolutely recommend, but don't expect perfection.

So this is a game from one of the Rick and Morty creators. I've only seen a few episodes of that cartoon - can't say I'm a huge fan. But the game is hilarious. The guns and enemies talk non-stop throughout, so much so that the developers actually added a setting to make them speak less often. I left all the chatter on and loved every minute of it, through the whole game and the DLC (which follows Knifey, the protagonist's talking knife companion). The humor is very down to earth - mostly farts and sex - but it still lands. There are some fun homages too (Attack on Titan, Returnal, Doom, Alien Isolation), though most of them are in the DLC. Gameplay is ok: a fairly simple shooter, but with really nice guns. They don't just talk - they're genuinely useful for puzzles and combat right up to the end. Graphics are mediocre, but that's expected; the devs clearly didn't have a big budget, and just as clearly were passionate about the game. If you like shooters and don't mind some toilet humor, give it a try - you won't regret it. The DLC is well worth it too: short, concise, and a lot of fun, with new weapons and a boss fight.

amazzing game great for rick and morty lovers.

Great Game

Ignoring all the drama about Justin Roiland, if you enjoy Rick and Morty's irreverence and stuttering humor versus wanting a hardcore shooter to sink your teeth into, you'll probably like High On Life. Your weapons are sentient and will talk to you throughout the game, ultimately becoming a central plot point. The first one you find is a decent point and shoot pistol that lobs goo grenades, and it's the weapon of choice for pinpoint shooting throughout the game. You'll also get a shotgun with suction and a bouncing razor disk you can keep bouncing with your knife, a submachine gun that shoots exploding crystals with a time warp effect, a living grenade launcher (shoots babies that eat things) and a mind control alt, and an ultimate weapon for the last mission. Each weapon is distinct in use and personality - I tended to prefer Gus, the shotgun, but late game the pistol (voiced by Roiland, basically Morty as a gun) becomes more useful for stuff that stays at range. If this was all it offered, it would be pretty lame. However, you do get a ground sprint thing not dissimilar from Vanquish, which later upgrades to a full jetpack as well. Knifey does grappling stuff, too, so you…
