5/10 | High On Life A colourful, silly and deliberately over-the-top first-person shooter, with severely undercooked gunplay and a sense of humour that will test the patience of even Rick and Morty fans.
creator Justin Roiland, in the year’s most profanity-filled shooter.
Your job is to stop them, a task that involves becoming a bounty hunter and shooting large numbers of aliens using a succession of sentient guns. The first, Kenny, is a wisecracking single shot pistol, whose secondary fire opens certain types of door. He’s swiftly joined by a chatty shotgun, an automatic pistol, a Halo-style needler, and another gun that fires its larval-stage young to devour baddies.
The final element of your arsenal is a bloodthirsty Australian knife who just can’t wait to stab everything you meet; although he doesn’t get nearly as much dialogue as the guns, who usually have quite a bit to say. That can be a mixed blessing, because while the opening and a few discrete scenes are highly amusing – or at least they are if you enjoy Rick and Morty – a lot of the other dialogue feels part-improvised and in some cases is deliberately annoying for comic effect.
