High On Life Review | The Gamebutler

Justin Roiland? Talking guns? Massive weirdness. Good fun.

This is pretty much what I would give it. Game is a lot of fun and has a lot of character. All the 5 and under reviews are pretty ridiculous, being the user aggregate is pretty high on almost every metric site.

Game reviewers put virtue signaling above gaming. They hold zero sway on anything I do

I have a few singular critics that I like. ACG, GGGman, SkillUp.
Usually when they like a game, I like that game.

I'm not trying to be conspiratorial but I did notice that a lot of the negative reviews that really focused on the fact they didn't like the humor also made a point to harp on the combat. Almost like they were trying to defend their questionably low scores.

I mean, the game is no Doom Eternal on that front, but it's solid. Once you get the knife, the grapple, and some extra weapons, there's a good flow to the combat.

At the end of the day it's a big hit on Gamepass, is still also seeing sold sales, and the developer is happy with how the game is doing in general. That's what matters.

The team reviewed it from a gamer perspective. Y'know, since they're gamers. :D
