High on Life's user scores are much higher than the game's overall critic review rating. High on Life launched earlier this month as a day one Xbox Game Pass game, giving players the chance to blast their way through a crass sci-fi adventure from the mind of Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland. Perhaps unsurprisingly, High on Life has been met with a rather polarizing reception, with some praising it as one of the year's better games, and others criticizing it as one of the year's most obnoxious games.
High on Life reviews have been all over the place. There are some critics who have had a great time with the game, but there are others who dislike its humor and have taken issues with the gameplay and technical problems. The mixed reviews for High on Life have made it so its aggregate score for the Xbox Series X version on Metacritic is a 65 rating based on 30 reviews. However, the user score tells a much different story, with High on Life earning a respectable 8.2 based on 409 ratings for the Xbox Series X version.
It's clear by the ratings that many gamers are having a great time with High on Life and have come away impressed by the game. Scrolling through the High on Life user reviews, many are praising the game for its comedy, graphics, story, and characters. Many pointed out how if one enjoys Roiland's work on Rick and Morty that they will most likely have a good time with High on Life as well. It's likely that the High on Life user rating will fluctuate as more people play it, but it's also likely that it will stay around the 8/10 mark, barring any unforeseen review bombing efforts.
High on Life Reviews
While the critic reviews have been mixed, High on Life has otherwise been a big success for developer Squanch Games. High on Life shot to the top of the Game Pass charts, beating out other extremely popular titles to take the top spot. The jury is still out on whether High on Life has legs or not, but if the game is able to maintain interest and keep drawing in new players, then chances are good many will be willing to check out its DLC.
Squanch Games has confirmed plans to make High on Life DLC, but it's anyone's guess as to what form that may take. More details on that will likely come next year, and in the meantime, fans can continue exploring the base game.
High on Life is available now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
