About This Game
Quick Overview
High On Life is a colorful first-person shooter where the weapons are not just tools — they are loud, talking characters with their own jokes, personalities, and abilities. The story starts when an alien cartel invades Earth to use humans as drugs, forcing you into a weird space bounty-hunting adventure across strange planets, cities, labs, and alien hideouts.
The game mixes shooting, platforming, boss fights, exploration, and comedy in a way that feels more like an interactive sci-fi cartoon than a normal FPS. It was released on December 13, 2022, and also received the High On Knife DLC later.
Who Should Play This Game?
High On Life is perfect for players who want a funny, strange, and personality-heavy shooter instead of a serious military FPS. It is a good pick if you like weird alien worlds, talking weapons, bounty missions, light Metroidvania-style exploration, and humor that constantly interrupts the action.
You should play it if you want something different from standard shooters. But if you dislike nonstop dialogue, crude comedy, or games that focus more on personality than deep gunplay, High On Life may not be for you.
Performance on PC
High On Life is moderately demanding, but not extreme by modern standards. Steam lists the minimum specs as Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i5-4430K, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1060 3GB or Radeon R9 290X 4GB, DirectX 11, and 59 GB storage. Recommended specs move up to an Intel i5-6402p or Ryzen 5 2600, 8 GB RAM, RTX 2060 or RX 5600 XT, DirectX 12, and an SSD is recommended.
On a modern mid-range PC, it should run well with adjusted settings. Lower-end systems can still play it, but the colorful environments, effects, and larger areas may need reduced settings for smoother performance.
