High on Life is a middling shooter with verbal diarrhoea. Check out our review:
Edge Magazine once famously lamented that we couldn't talk to the monsters. Well, a paw from a monkey the size of King Kong must have curled a finger somewhere, because High on Life had me begging for the monsters to shut their flapping gobs. 2022 has generally been a year in which video games Talked Too Much, whether that's Dying Light 2's exhausting cutscenes, or Atreus' unwelcome hints in the PS5 exclusive God of War: Ragnarok.
It's the difference between a shot of expensive balsamic and having your head shoved into a vat of white vinegar. No doubt some people will find High on Life hilarious. But even if you do, the humour remains splattered across a thoroughly mid first-person shooter. It isn't, although it hovers dangerously close to that for a long time. For the first three hours of this game, you have access to one weapon: the gatlian Kenny. Kenny is a bog-standard pistol with an alt-fire called the Glop-shot—a slimy mortar that can launch enemies into the air.
