Rob Cram writes: High On Life released recently with an abundance of mixed reviews for this off-the-cuff first person shooter from the mind of Justin Roiland (of Rick and Morty fame) studio Squanch Games, Inc. Aside from the much discussed and somewhat divisive talking/humour in this game, one thing that is clear and can’t really be argued against, is how beautiful it all looks. The shooting mechanics work very well too. Reminding us of a cross between, Oddworld Strangers Wrath and BulletStorm.
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.
Its a shame this game was fleshed out a bit more - it looks like fun
It looks incredible on an OLED in 4K. The humor for this is just right. This game is definitely something special.
I beat it and ready for another play through
It was almost unbearable to watch the player walk away from "Fresh Meat" without shooting him.
