High on Life 2 is a welcomed improvement over the original in many aspects, refining the insane gameplay while delivering much better comedy, though technical issues in its current state make it a cautious sell.
High on Life 2 is a sequel that surpasses its predecessor by delivering dynamic combat through the Gatlirians and skateboarding mechanics. The title also features well-designed side activities, challenging boss battles, and an entertaining comedic narrative. However, despite ongoing updates, the experience is still marred by technical optimization issues and occasional bugs.

The new title from Squanch Games is extremely ambitious, attempting to expand the original formula in every aspect. However, it clashes with production issues, resulting in a rough and imperfect experience with a repetitive gameplay loop. What truly shines is the brilliant writing, absurd situations, and memorable characters. If you seek a flawless FPS, look elsewhere; but if you want a crazy, fun adventure, High on Life 2 remains a wonderfully flawed gem.

High on Life 2 might be bigger, but does that make it better? In a few ways, yes, it is fun because it has some new mechanics, like a skateboard to explore and lots of charming guns to use. Those come at the cost of clear technical mishaps, including slowdowns and glitches that often rear their ugly heads.
High on Life 2 is an improvement on the first and one hell of a time. The humor shows just how much in-tune the writers at Squanch game are with their players and that speaks volumes… making it a good time even through its complications.
High on Life 2, from Squanch Games, offers a highly entertaining story and gameplay, improved upon from the original game in the series.

High on Life 2 is unfortunately a game not worth recommending. For a price tag of a full $60, players should expect a level of polish, content, and quality that the game simply does not harbor for itself. Along with regressing in many areas and doubling down on an identity that doesn’t entirely work in 2026, one begs to question who High on Life as a franchise is exactly for.
High on Life 2 takes the hilarious, chaotic shooter idea of the first game and builds upon it in satisfying ways. You get a stronger story and a larger arsenal, plus the new skateboard traversal system makes even simple fights more entertaining. The whole thing is wrapped in a bold art style and has great voice acting, with a tone that balances filthy jokes with real heart. Even with a few technical hiccups, this stood out as one of the most memorable shooters I've played in a long time.
High on Life 2 is a rare type of sequel because it improves on the first game instead of just adding to it. It gets rid of unnecessary cynicism, makes the story stronger, and adds important gameplay changes while keeping the series’ signature silly humor. It’s not perfect because of some technical problems and sometimes weak combat, but the creative missions, characters, and world design make it stand out in the world of shooters today. More than anything else, High on Life 2 feels like a company finding its voice again and proving who it is.
High On Life 2 is bigger yet smaller. It’s both bold and more reserved in how it dishes out gameplay mechanics and story beats. I loved my 15 hours with it
Despite some of the comedy losing its shock value, High on Life 2 is still a wild, colourful, intentionally silly ride.
High on Life 2 takes everything we loved about the first game and cranks it up to 11. Weirder, bolder, and just a better game overall. Skateboarding isn’t just a gimmick but a fun way to traverse around the game’s wacky universe. Though it falls a bit in the humor, accessibility, and some technical hiccups, the game is just enjoyable from start to finish. It's no surprise that High on Life 2 won Lords of Gaming’s most anticipated game of 2026.
High On Life 2 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but that's perfectly fine. It’s an upgrade on its predecessor and a game that feels like it finally has an identity of its own beyond 'that Rick and Morty game'. Admittedly, it's still a game we would label rough around the edges, but simply put. If you liked the first game, then you're in for a treat with this sequel.
This one’s an easy recommendation for any shooter fan, but not everyone will appreciate the (wacky) humor. That tells us how, even as a twisted niche, High of Life 2 succeeds at creating a memorable experience in a market that may crave more single-player adventures.
High on Life 2 delivers the same bizarre, fourth wall breaking humor and charismatic talking weapons that made the original memorable, But, it fails to meaningfully improve its mediocre gunplay and plethora of technical issues. While the narrative still entertains with absurd and clever moments, recycled ideas and poor optimization hold it back, making it hard to recommend at full price.

Injecting welcome fluidity via skateboard traversal, High on Life 2 evolves its narrative and exploration but remains tethered by its predecessor’s baggage. Mediocre gunplay, "bullet sponge" enemies, and technical bugs ultimately undermine the creative weaponry, resulting in a sequel that is faster and funnier, yet significantly unpolished.
High on Life 2 is a must-have for fans of the original. It expands upon the original in several key areas while adding some decent innovations and twists to feel fresh. However, performance woes hamper the fun at times.
High On Life 2 does not reinvent the genre, but it does feel like a confident step forward from its predecessor. You just have to decide whether you want to spend fifteen hours saving humanity with a group of chatty alien guns commenting on every move you make.
High on Life 2 is Squanch Games’ second chaotic ride, and it’s as wild as it is messy. Stellar voice acting and striking visuals shine, but middling gameplay and rough optimization hold it back. It’s a mixed bag of highs and lows, and if that chaos appeals to you, we won’t judge, though your guns might.
