And this comes from person who 80%+ steam game playtime is indie games , games long ago used to try more , today its alweys battle royale , or open world survival crafting or another live service pvp game , this is also reason why i tend to play older games , problem is a lot are not avalible to buy:/ Epig games recently took down all unreal games(all of them) from all stores so its not game you can obtain anymore

    As a 34 year old gamer that, at this point in my life, is a strictly casual gamer - I loved this. The last game I sought to be a completionist in was Fallout 4. High on Life combines the perfect amount of FPS, grinding, chill puzzles, and unlockables to keep me hooked to the end. Many of the mechanics and gameplay tropes felt as learnable as a late 90's platformer. I did experience some achievement breaking flaws that are going to make me play again (now fixed), but honestly I'm not upset to have to go through it again.

I love the humor as well. I literally watched 45 minutes of the TV while I was eating. It's bloody hilarious more games need to look at that, not even the humor side of it, but just how much is going on and how many people and things you can interact with.

    I have to say even though I was looking forward to this for months, I kept my expectations reasonable and I was definitely pleasantly surprised. My biggest gripe was also how underwhelming the kick of the weapons felt, oh and the state of PC performance day one but that was mostly fixed pretty quickly, every other aspect of the game (including the humour) felt more than decent to me, at least for how far into the game I've gotten (I'm not rushing it). The thing about the humour dragging on is simply Justin not knowing when to call it a day, Dan Harmon is not around to reign him in but that's not as much of a turn off for me as it understandably could be for some. Overall pretty damn solid, streets ahead of Trover which was also enjoyable (in VR).

    Hey, pedantic game designer here. Shotguns are actually not the easiest weapon to get right. There are a number of dynamics to consider including slugs, spread, and incidentals like weight and recoil. Those all affect the variable utility of the weapon in different gameplay scenarios, from CQC to crowd control.
    Sniper rifles, however ARE the easiest weapons to get right. Explicit utility and functionality makes it pretty simple to hone in on what matters.
    Anyway, luv ya! 💖

Came on screen and went "You cheated. You shouldn't be here yet. You know you cheated. We won't deduct points or whatever, but you're cheating."

    I think the level design in this game goes under the radar and is one of the best parts. One of my favorite things to do as my character progressed with the unlocked movements was to go back to the old areas because places like the slums and zephyr play like completely different levels when you have the jetpack and some more guns

    The fact they also released it now when it kinda seems like we are a bit starved on new good games lately is probably another plus for them. If this were to release alongside something like a new halo or whatever they would take a big hit. Also with it being free on gamepass a lot of people are gonna try it at least.

I really enjoyed it towards the end when they were all conversating together. I had no problem with the talking guns.

    Really reminds me of the stuff I loved and played on PS1 when I was growing up.
    I didn't think I'd like the humour, but I was already laughing in the tutorial with the guy screaming about how he was divorced. Most of the characters are very easy to warm to. I've been annoyed once so far and that was in the jungle with the floating security thing telling me his whole life story.
    I like cheesing the levels too. Feels like they didn't expect people to get to certain areas by certain methods. I've been pleasantly surprised in that aspect though, once or twice the pink guide guy has popped up telling me I wasn't supposed to get there in that way.
    Only issue for me is the shooting so far. The deadzone is a little beefy and, on the whole, it's a little bit shallow.

It doesn't matter if you're into the humor or not, you can't say that this game isn't unique and I definitely want to see devs taking more risks like this.
