DualShockersMaddie FisherFeb 20269.5/10Squanch Games had a lot of work to do in order to both distance itself from its creator and ensure the foundation was solid, which they did in spades. High on Life 2's absurd story, impeccable combat and beautiful world are just a few reasons to explore this sinfully funny shooter.

Game InformerJason FanelliFeb 20268.8/10This is the kind of game that you can put on, laugh at for a while, and forget what's troubling you, even though reminders might slip in through the pointed social commentary. High On Life 2, despite being a battle against Big Pharma, is just what the doctor ordered.

COGconnectedMark SteighnerFeb 202684/100There are moments when High on Life 2 feels a little over-caffeinated, and it can be exhausting over long stretches. Overall, though, High on Life 2 demonstrates that the first game’s concepts and mechanics were more than one-off novelties. High on Life 2 keeps a good thing going strong.

Metro GameCentralFeb 20265/10An inventive sequel whose small improvements in gameplay can’t make up for tedious firefights and minigames, and a less witty script.
