High On Life Review

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

High On Life tells the story of an unnamed protagonist-whom everyone calls "Bounty Hunter," even their own sister-fighting against an alien drug cartel that's invaded Earth. The cartel wishes to round up every human on the planet and sell them as the drug, which other aliens can consume via elaborate machines. The bounty hunter hero is armed with Gatlians, a race of talking guns, and each Gatlian possesses its own attacks and abilities. The concept is admittedly very weird, but it's a well-told story that kept guessing until the end.

At this point, it bears acknowledging that this is 100% a Justin Roiland project, complete with all the hallmarks of his comedic philosophy. Rapid-fire monologues, fart jokes, demolition of the fourth wall, ad-libs, dark comedy-it's all intertwined within the game's narrative and presentation. If things like Rick and Morty, Trover Saves The Universe, or Solar Opposites aren't your cup of tea, this won't be either. That said, The content Creator has a very high tolerance for this sort of goofiness and We found myself laughing throughout the 10-hour adventure.
