High on Life, developed by Squanch Games, is an FPS that gained attention for its comedic narrative and sentient, talking guns. The game received praise for its originality and humor, although its combat system and polish attracted some criticism. Nonetheless, High on Life established a distinct identity, and the move into comics signals a broader narrative universe for fans to explore. The game already has an expansion titled HIgh on Knife, further building upon its unique universe.
