I played High on Life

So I actually like Rick and Morty and so was interested in what a Rick and Morty video game would be like.

You play as a guy with a talking gun called Kenny who's basically just the Morty character in a gun. Then you get a few more guns and they talk too but they're all kind of one dimensional without any character depth nor backstory.

The humour is funny sometimes but a lot of it is too improv, like those Rick and Morty episodes where they watch TV, but half the game dialogue is like that which makes it seem rather low effort.

The atmosphere is nice tho. Scifi writers still haven't got over the success of BSG back in the day and so most scifi is still hardcore gritty realism stuff which was nice at the time but is getting a bit boring now. It's good to have a colourful comedy scifi universe sometimes too.

It was entertaining enough to get to the end without getting bored anyway. Not bad overall.

This looks like it would’ve been a cool VR game

BSG wasn't that successful.

It struggled not to get cancelled twice in it's run and, when it almost dipped out due to the writer's strike, this was almost the end of the entire show:

Personally, I think this would have been much better.

It did change (or play a part in changing) scifi writing in that era though. Up until that point if you thought of scifi you thought of crappy Star Trek inspired cheese. No one was writing anything with characters that behave like real people etc

I thought the writing/humor was hit or miss but some of it was pretty funny. Wasn't a huge fan of the overall gameplay. Guns felt underpowered. Cool aesthetic and good gfx tho

I really don't like Rick and Morty humor, would I like it for the gameplay? I think the guns being highly gimmicky could be a unique way to force strategy and ammo conservation.

Probably not since the gameplay isn't really its selling point, though isn't necessarily bad either

I watched a review for it and I thought it looked alright but it’s probably one of those games that I would wait for it to be on sale for like 20 bucks a year from now.

It's a hard 3/10. Game play is boring and generic, voicelines repeat ad infinitum, and the level design just doesn't look good.

I lold how there was an option to turn off the voices presented early in the game. Presumably you're not the first person to complain about that.
