Let’s face it, video games rarely have a sense of humour these days. Everything is so serious and badly written. Every dialogue is cringe after cringe after even more cringe. The one thing above everything else in High on Life is that the writing is actually good. The humour is on brand for a Roiland creation, if you are into that.

The game starts with a retro-style shooter that looks very similar to Doom, and it has you playing that for an uncomfortably long time. Till finally revealing you are just some gamer from Earth. A few minutes after that revelation, aliens start to beam onto earth and start to consume humans for their hallucinogenic effects. While fighting for your life, you somehow snag a talking gun that helps you beam your house onto another planet. From there, the adventure begins. You enroll as a bounty hunter and have to work your way up to earning money until you are ready to extract revenge.
