Justin Roiland, the creator of the enigmatic animated series &ldquo;Rick &amp; Morty&rdquo;, invaded the video game platform with &ldquo;High on Life&rdquo;, a comedic first-person shooter with the same style of rapid-fire jokes and unhinged humor that people know and love from Roiland&rsquo;s previous work as it became his trademark at this point.
&ldquo;High on Life&rsquo;s&rdquo; story is an insane intergalactic mania with over-the-top action scenes, uproarious boss encounters, and a non-stop robust dialogue. The story starts simply enough on earth as you play with a nameless and voiceless teenager in the same vain as the most iconic FPS characters such as Doom Guy from the "Doom" games, Jack from &ldquo;Bioshock&rdquo;, and Gordon Freeman from &ldquo;Half-Life&rdquo;, which is something the game addresses and mocks on multiple occasions.
When the voiceless teenager&rsquo;s parents abandon him and his sister with an excuse that they&rsquo;re going on a trip, an alien drug cartel called G3 invades earth so they can use humans to manufacture a new hallucinogenic drug, and with the help of the Gatlians - which are talking alien weapons that you acquire throughout the game &ndash; it&rsquo;s up to the voiceless teenager and his FPS skills to save the day and drive the alien cartel out of the earth.
Many reviews praised the game&rsquo;s sense of humor and solid writing which is the selling point of the game, such as <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/high-on-life-review">IGN</a>, who gave the game a positive review and an 8/10 rating. IGN said, &ldquo;due in large part to High on Life&rsquo;s mostly solid writing, which piles on dumb gags, curse-laden rants, and lots of TV screens airing idiotic shows that look like they could have been pulled straight from one of Rick &amp; Morty&rsquo;s Interdimensional Cable episodes&rdquo;.&nbsp;
Considering Roiland&rsquo;s history with farce humor, &ldquo;High on Life&rdquo; consistently refuses to take itself seriously by any means, so it was expected that it will be sort of a novelty game and a companion to &ldquo;Rick &amp; Morty&rdquo; that capitalizes on the show&rsquo;s success, but the game defies these expectations as <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/high-on-life-review-talking-heads/1900-6418014/">GameSpot</a> review entails, that if you managed to look beyond the game&rsquo;s sarcastic nature, it&rsquo;s a solid FPS with intricate and well-designed maps, variety of interesting weapons that manages to add a fresh new layer to the game once you acquire a new one, and exhilarating boss fights that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
GameSpot stated, &ldquo;Once you get past the goofiness and focus on the game itself, "High On Life" delivers a solid 3D shooter experience that emulates the exploits of Samus Aran. Each of the different biomes I explored were brimming with secrets, from living chests filled with gold to random NPCs offering a quick zinger or brief side quest. As the game progresses, vertical movement is introduced thanks to finding a jetpack, and that opens up exploration even more&rdquo;.

The continuous quick humor and buffoonery of &ldquo;High on Life&rdquo; were not taken lightly by many people who didn&rsquo;t find that all the jokes have landed, and that the constant squabble is a bit overbearing throughout the 15 hours that takes you to complete the game. On <a href="https://www.pcgamer.com/high-on-life-review/">PC Gamer</a> review they said, &ldquo;Rick and Morty is a 20-minute cartoon where Justin Roiland's fast-stammering style is (usually) funnelled through scripts sharper than the pickled scientist's barbed tongue. High on Life is 15 hours of Interdimensional Cable&mdash;a deluge of meandering word salad that's constantly searching for the joke and only occasionally delivering it&rdquo;.
