VGChartz's Stephen LaGioia: "While I stress sheer gameplay over presentation, narrative, or themes, it was ironically these peripheral traits that stood out the most for me here. High on Life is wild, sleek, colorful, and at times hilarious. And I did have some moments of fun firing away at the pesky G3 targets, especially in combination with weapon abilities. However, I typically got more amusement watching the funny animated clips or listening to random NPC banter than blasting my way through the countless alien hordes. Even with regard to the comedy, the game does try a little too hard to be funny at times, and the gags don’t always land.
Squanch Games is certainly onto something when it comes to the satirical motifs laced with chaotic action, but the formula could use some refining and further fleshing out."
Plan the ultimate heist, team up with talkative weaponry then jump and chomp your way through an island adventure with the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup for February! Payday 3, High on Life and Pac-Man World Re-Pac will be available to PlayStation Plus members from February 4.
Update on PS4 Games for PlayStation Plus
"As many of our players are currently playing on PS5 and have shifted toward redeeming and accessing PS5 titles from the Monthly Games and Game Catalog benefit, PlayStation Plus is also evolving with this trend and will focus on offering PS5 titles through the Monthly Games and Game Catalog benefit starting January 2026. As we shift to PS5, PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered for PlayStation Plus Monthly Games and Game Catalog starting January 2026. We may still provide titles that can be playable on both PS4 and PS5 consoles after this date.
Please note, this won’t affect the PS4 Monthly Games that you have already redeemed from PlayStation Plus. You’ll continue to have access to games you’ve already redeemed as long as you remain a member. For Game Catalog, PS4 games will still be available to play until it leaves the catalog as part of our monthly refresh.
We’ll continue to evolve the experience of PlayStation Plus and optimize the benefits you receive, including exclusive discounts, online multiplayer access, online game save storage and more. As we shift our focus to PS5, we look forward to adding new PS5 titles monthly for you to enjoy."
Hmm
For the month of August 2024, the Humble Choice service is offering eight games, and all of them run fine on the Steam Deck.
Humble Bundle has introduced a new bundle, thanks to which you can get seven games for your Steam Deck for only $25.
Just finished it last week.
8/10 for me...loved the world, and the characters and the upgrades and variety of guns made combat fun.
I really enjoyed this game but I understand it's not for everyone.
