High On Life 2

“Half the time you miss the jokes completely—which is impressive for a game that's supposed to be funny.”

“An underwhelming story, sloppy gunplay/combat, poor game optimisation, comedy that's repeated until it's not funny anymore... ugh.”

“This sequel really struggled to keep me engaged and the talking 'gatling guns' were not funny this go around.”

“The story is okay but this game feels like it had no QA at all.”

“Its a ok game however there are several instances in the game specifically in the concon mission where if you accidentally progress too far you cannot go back and you are hard locked into an area where you cannot progress and you need to completely start a new game to get the opportunity to actually progress that is in hoping you don't unintentionally skip a part again and have to restart your entire game again its incredibly frustrating and downright stupid and genuinely unplayable in the current state unless this issue is patched post haste.”

“The story could be better and longer; it feels very rushed and things don't feel like they fit correctly story wise.”

“Maybe it was the terrible performance, maybe it was the poorly developed skateboarding mechanics you need to use to stay alive, maybe it was the boring enemy encounters, or maybe I am just completely over that Roiland brand of humor... in any case, don't buy this game.”

“As someone who played the first game and loved it, I gotta say this was an underwhelming sequel gameplay-wise. The story, on the other hand, is so good it's like just a long serialized arc of Rick and Morty, but the gameplay was so bland. Yes, there were more enemy types and more weapons, which is a massive improvement, but most of the game felt like an old 2000's game. The level design was worse than the first game, and the achievement system with the missable trophies is very predatory; even guides would miss some. I had to do 3 full playthroughs, 2 for missable achievements.”

“Ive had like 5 softlocks so far. The game runs poorly without frame generation enabled and sometimes even with it. Wait a bit for more bug fixes or you'll have to deal with a ridiculous amount of jank. My last softlock occurred when I went to talk to an NPC right as my guns started talking, locking me out of the dialogue and trapping me in talking to NPC mode. Gameplay is pretty solid if you can run it. The humor isn't quite as good as the first game but it has its charm. I just can't recommend it in its current state/price. Another thing: hard mode is insane in some areas. There's a boss fight towards the beginning that spawns enemies in a small arena that will nearly one-shot you for peeking. It's not impossible but very frustrating considering you don't have any of the high DPS guns yet. At least most of the levels are cool with a lot to explore. I give it like a 5/10; could easily be 8/10 if there weren't bugs, crashes, or softlocks every 30 minutes of gameplay.”

“The graphics driver I'm using, Nvidia 5.76, runs the game way better than the newest one, if that helps anybody (3 crashes across 28 hours, two of which from the starting hours where I was still tweaking my settings).”

“Unless the devs fix all the graphical glitches in this game I cannot and will not recommend this title to anyone. My RTX 4070 should be more than plenty to play this title without my damn screen having a seizure. This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. 2 stars way down... get your game fixed then I will change my mind.”

“For a UE5 game, it actually runs pretty decent... however, there are lots of dips in frame rate and the optimization is bad as you'd expect... zero noticeable difference in visuals or performance going from high settings to low settings aside from shadow quality for example.”

“Game constantly soft locks or crashes; would not recommend until they fix this buggy mess.”

“This game is almost in an unplayable state with the amount of glitches that happen; hopefully with time they can improve it but as of right now I cannot recommend purchasing this game.”

“Crashes, bugs, and glitches galore, which is really unfortunate because with the $60 price tag, it won't exactly keep new players hooked.”

“The music was annoying enough that I had to turn it way down.”

“Zero music (it's the worst part, will seriously hurt you in the long run, brain damage).”

“What I don't like is the lack of music; the same songs keep playing again and again.”

“It went from being fun to being tedious.”

“So if you took a few detours during the main story of High on Life 2, you'll have an empty endgame save with a few grinding achievements.”

“Did some "side quests" while not grinding to 100% completion of what is known, it feels very light in content.”

“Lack of replayability.”

“I am very confident if the skateboards could have had buffs and different abilities instead of just customization you never see in game, it would have provided a lot of continued replayability with many people satisfied with the game.”

“I wish Murder Con would be a replayable thing we can come back to again and again, kind of like how Oblivion's Arena is, or how Saints Row reboot Doc Ketchum's murder circus is.”

“Feels like a cash grab; clearly the devs don't care at all. No new update in a month, even though most reviews still call it unplayable.”

“Extreme cash grab and sadly if it stops others from wasting their money until the devs get their head out of their ass. Hope this review helps.”

“The devs had to know there were issues and pushed it out anyway for a cash grab.”
