TheGamer's Stacey Henley says: "I haven't played enough of High on Life to offer a full review yet, as codes were distributed fairly late, but I have played enough to know one thing that will be universal for every single person who picks up the controller - High on Life is exactly the game you're expecting. The gameplay is exceedingly generic, with simple shooting and platforming mechanics, and considering how much it crams its head up its own ass to get a good sniff of the colourful cityscapes, it's also disappointingly linear. But love it or hate it, no one seemed all that excited for this to be a foundation shifting video game. It was just going to be simple and funny. So, is it funny? Well, the long answer is 'that's where you come into it buster!'. The short answer is 'no'."
Humble Bundle has introduced a new bundle, thanks to which you can get seven games for your Steam Deck for only $25.
Squanch Games will open pre-orders for physical standard and Collector’s editions of High On Life for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on February 27 via Limited Run Games and IGN Store, the developer announced. Pre-orders will close on March 31.
I guess it's better than no physical at all. I was using LR when they first started. I have Oddworld New and Tasty, Octodad, Shadow Complex etc. I fell off at some point and just felt I couldn't continue so I stopped. I just would much rather be able to purchase these games off Amazon.
I used to give into fomo a lot in the early days but I am much more choosy these days. I did play this on Gamepass back in the day and had a good time with it, so I have pre-ordered a copy as I'd like to Plat this on my PS5.
Does it come with the layer of dust this game deserves or do you have to work at it?
The recently released High on Life DLC, High on Knife, takes a jab at God of War Ragnarok's puzzle-spoiling mechanic that irked many players.
Yeah I heard a lot about this before I played, and then it almost never affected me when I played the game (the few times it did were with bird form Freya).
Honestly it makes me wonder if a bunch of people are just really terrible at puzzles and took forever to do them and got hints. It's either that or they patched the game to slow down the hints (I played about 5 months after launch).
Perhaps another dev will include content in their game mocking devs who devalue their work by giving their games away on streaming services and then expecting to be able to charge full price for it a year later?
That doesn't devalue their work. They get paid regardless. How you wanna spend to play is up to the consumer
Getting paid my MS still devalued their work squire. Rightly or wrongly, when they announced the PS5 version of the game, I didn't give two hoots. It was an old game by the time it came, all the buzz had gone and I knew it was free elsewhere; there was no chance I was paying full price for that
now old game, it wasn't worth it in my view.
Even in articles that have absolutely nothing to do with GamePass, someone will inevitably bring it up.
Welcome to N4G.
Sad when other developers put more effort into Mocking a flaw than Santa Monica does into fixing it
Then tell me where
and if you're saying that, you're saying the same about the actual developers too
Nah, jambola is correct and I was misremembering the setting. It was Time Delay for puzzles, not hint delay.
Yep it's another mid gamepass addition, serviceable at best.
Played a few hrs, have just turned it off found the knife funny, and the ass face who wants a drum, but yea it's average.
Ahh well wasn't exactly expecting much from it in the first place.
I’m enjoying it, on my 3rd bounty
Why do games get bashed for being linear I can’t take a review or opinion serious who uses that as a reason why a game isn’t good. Not all games have to be open world.
as a person who played hundreds of games, playing such a different yet great game make me love gaming again...i tend to not like game sequels and when playing lot of games ...time come when lot of game feel like you played it before or you seen this story plot before ..so this game made me so hyped
"The game is too generic ... because its linear" WHAT THE ACTUAL F'CK ?! Who approves these journalists in posting in here? COMEDY IS LINEAR ... I mean think about it ... reality can be interpreted in a myriad of ways, and as a unique observer you judge reality based upon your standards. In order to create comedy or something funny, you have to surve it in a certain way, through certain rails that would deliver the "punch-line", the unrealistic factor, the funny bit.
