High on Life (XOne) Review | VGChartz

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."

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.

sagapo841d ago

Yeah, 7.5/10 for me. I would have liked to see more mod options for the guns tho. But I enjoyed the game nonetheless. Great fun!

thesoftware730841d ago

There were 3 mods for each gun, and I found it very easy and fun to switch between them in combat, like using Sweezy's slow down, then switching to Kenny for a Glob shot.

Or hovering/flying around and shooting off Creatures' babies and then Kenny and peppering them with normal fire and globs.

It could have used more mods of course, but switching between guns made it feel like I had good variety.

sagapo841d ago

Kenny and Creature only have 2 mods as far as I know?

coolbeans841d ago

I haven't gotten around to it yet, but it seems like opinions will hinge on the humor. The gameplay *sounds* enjoyable from the way you're describing it.

thesoftware730841d ago

Yeah, play it on Hunter difficulty(Hard), I imagine normal would have been too easy as enemies constantly drop shield regens. There are 5 guns, 3 mods each that change the secondary fire and you get normal upgrades to ammo, damage, reload speed and secondary fire cool down, so 5 guns, 3 mods each, and the ability to use the alt fire/or standard fire one after another. Then there is flying, Knifey, and whip-lashing around the battlefield/environments all while being able to switch weapons and shoot.

I feel if you try to play it like a standard shooter, you will not get the full combat experience. I did like the humor and characters a lot, they kept everything consistent in areas where I didn't expect. Give it a try, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I really enjoyed this game but I understand it's not for everyone.

Still no reason to renew the PS+ subscription.. man i miss the offerings during PS3 days.

OmegaSoldati96d ago

Payday veteran here. Level 25 infamy (0 TO 100 LVL 25 times). Payday 2 is way better than Payday 3. They are desperate, the new game failed, next Playstation Store sale all the DLC will be on sale, common and cheap strategy on the PS Plus + PS Store.

IAMRealHooman96d ago

second this.....its not great but rockay city became my " Payday 3.

FinalFantasyFanatic95d ago

I already bought High on Life on PC, but I guess I'll enjoy Pac-Man on/off when I feel like it.

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

Terry_B96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

If that means 3 ps5 ps+ games in 2026 every month I am all for it. The PS4 is getting less and less new games /ports anyway which would mean just more older PS4 games

mkis00796d ago

A year from now isn't soon enough lol.

darthv7296d ago

Sounds similar to what MS did with 360 / OG games in the GwG service. They eventually scaled them back to one a month and then ultimately just stopped giving them away altogether. They cant keep supporting the past no matter how much larger that player base may be.
