This is pretty much what I would give it. Game is a lot of fun and has a lot of character. All the 5 and under reviews are pretty ridiculous, being the user aggregate is pretty high on almost every metric site.

Game reviewers put virtue signaling above gaming. They hold zero sway on anything I do

MadLad505d ago

I have a few singular critics that I like. ACG, GGGman, SkillUp.
Usually when they like a game, I like that game.

I'm not trying to be conspiratorial but I did notice that a lot of the negative reviews that really focused on the fact they didn't like the humor also made a point to harp on the combat. Almost like they were trying to defend their questionably low scores.

I mean, the game is no Doom Eternal on that front, but it's solid. Once you get the knife, the grapple, and some extra weapons, there's a good flow to the combat.

At the end of the day it's a big hit on Gamepass, is still also seeing sold sales, and the developer is happy with how the game is doing in general. That's what matters.

The team reviewed it from a gamer perspective. Y'know, since they're gamers. :D

High On Life PS5 and Xbox Series limited print physical editions announced

Squanch Games will open pre-orders for physical standard and Collector’s editions of High On Life for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on February 27 via Limited Run Games and IGN Store, the developer announced. Pre-orders will close on March 31.

I guess it's better than no physical at all. I was using LR when they first started. I have Oddworld New and Tasty, Octodad, Shadow Complex etc. I fell off at some point and just felt I couldn't continue so I stopped. I just would much rather be able to purchase these games off Amazon.

LoveSpuds77d ago

I used to give into fomo a lot in the early days but I am much more choosy these days. I did play this on Gamepass back in the day and had a good time with it, so I have pre-ordered a copy as I'd like to Plat this on my PS5.

jznrpg76d ago

These aren’t super limited prints so whoever preorders will get one.

BrainSyphoned77d ago

Does it come with the layer of dust this game deserves or do you have to work at it?

High On Life's DLC Hilariously Mocks God Of War Ragnarok's Puzzle Spoilers

The recently released High on Life DLC, High on Knife, takes a jab at God of War Ragnarok's puzzle-spoiling mechanic that irked many players.

ravens52215d ago

Lol. I always got em before he said anything anyway lol

Seth_hun214d ago

How? Because boy spoiling the puzzle before you even see it :D

MrNinosan214d ago

Same, wasn't there a setting for how quickly Atreus would spoil shit 😏

JEECE214d ago

Yeah I heard a lot about this before I played, and then it almost never affected me when I played the game (the few times it did were with bird form Freya).

Honestly it makes me wonder if a bunch of people are just really terrible at puzzles and took forever to do them and got hints. It's either that or they patched the game to slow down the hints (I played about 5 months after launch).

H9214d ago

Couldn't get more accurate tho

GoodGuy09214d ago

I like GOW puzzles but honestly I felt there was way too much in Ragnarok.

LoveSpuds214d ago

Perhaps another dev will include content in their game mocking devs who devalue their work by giving their games away on streaming services and then expecting to be able to charge full price for it a year later?

PhillyDonJawn214d ago

That doesn't devalue their work. They get paid regardless. How you wanna spend to play is up to the consumer

LoveSpuds214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

Getting paid my MS still devalued their work squire. Rightly or wrongly, when they announced the PS5 version of the game, I didn't give two hoots. It was an old game by the time it came, all the buzz had gone and I knew it was free elsewhere; there was no chance I was paying full price for that
now old game, it wasn't worth it in my view.

Even in articles that have absolutely nothing to do with GamePass, someone will inevitably bring it up.

Welcome to N4G.

Rgbsquad214d ago

Yeah I cringed when I read his comment. Like fr

It's just a lighthearted joke. Don't take it so seriously.

Sad when other developers put more effort into Mocking a flaw than Santa Monica does into fixing it

Christopher214d ago

Literally a setting in Ragnarok to turn it off/lessen how often it happens.

Juvia214d ago

Yes
There is

All you are doing is showing that you never played it. What a fool.

jambola214d ago

Then tell me where
and if you're saying that, you're saying the same about the actual developers too

Christopher213d ago

Nah, jambola is correct and I was misremembering the setting. It was Time Delay for puzzles, not hint delay.

That monster in the screenshot looks like something out of the Dinosaurs TV Series (the puppets).

beerhound221d ago

Oh, jeez, I remember that show. It was like a bad Robot Chicken parody of Family Guy.
