"The new game by Squanch Games is a product that moves between ups and downs, an oscillatory trend that concerns in particular a gaming sector with evident roughness."
Read original review"An entertaining first-person shooter that gets better with every new talking gun you get. Crazy situations, constant dialogues and a sense of humor can be his strengths... or weak, depending on your tastes. But if you like Rick &a; Morty, …"

"Though High on Life takes a bit of time to get the ball rolling and lacks some enemy variety, it&s;s a comical adventure with an excellent opening and finale, and promises plenty of other surprises in store for players."
Read original review"As-is, High on Life is great weekend Game Pass pickup, and something to go into with caution if you’re a fan of Roiland’s work."
Read original review"High on Life is filled with some fun mechanics and great writing, and while it doesn&s;t reinvent the genre, it makes it more enjoyable."

"High on Life is likely a divisive game. While the gameplay is more than sufficient - if you&s;re happy with an unrefined, almost arcade-style shooter - you then come to the dialogue and "comedy", which, to me, was overdone to …"

Read original review"High On Life is easily Squanch Games’ most ambitious project, but aside from the environments and the world-building which match that ambition, the first-person shooter itself is incredibly generic, and not funny enough to make up for it."

Read original review"Squanch Games&s; trademark humor mixes with solid shooting and traversal in this goofy space romp."
