High On Life is a unique game, and many factors make it different from mainstream FPS shooters. One of which is the game’s jokes and hilarious nods to various games and their bugs. Yes, bugs in this game are intentional for some reason, and if you are nerdy enough, you can catch most of them.
Even if the game’s jokes do not fit you, the game alone is a pretty solid shooter with talking guns and impressive gameplay mechanics and perks that make the overall gaming experience fun. And the best part is, unlike most FPS shooters, you do not have to be an accurate sweaty player to win or enjoy High On Life; the jokes, the enemies, and the guns are enough to make your experience lasting. Besides that, the dev team behind the game, Squanch Games, is not that big compared to well-established gaming studios and still it is impressive with what they have been able to achieve. One of the creators behind the game, Justin Roiland, is well-known for his comedic animated show; Rick and Morty, and the essence of that show is clearly visible in this game as well, becoming an easy pick for the show’s fans. The developers have also used the latest AI-generated art and voice in the game, making it one of a kind. All the distinguishing factors surrounding High On Life could be why the game is performing so well on charts; whether it is about Xbox or Steam Charts, it dominates everywhere. As the gaming industry enthusiast, Beni-Sales on Twitter pointed out, High On Life is now the fourth most played game on Xbox, just behind heavy hitters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Grand Theft Auto V, and Fortnite.
