High On Life has finally arrived, and Rick and Morty fans are living. The game has been a long time coming, and since its snarky reveal, gamers already on the Justin Roiland hype train have been all over it.
It's the first big title from Squanch Games, and it's bringing the expected long-winded humour of Roiland to Game Pass.
The sci-fi biopunk action-adventure Metroidvania has been a treat for fans of toilet humour so far, and those who are loving it are loving it. Especially the full movie that's hidden in the game. For some reason.
How Is High On Life Hiding A 90-Minute Movie?
High on Life is, in many ways, more willing to tell jokes than pay attention to its own gameplay. One huge example of this is the section that allows you to simply sit back and watch a movie.
The movie in question is the '90s horror-comedy Tammy and the T-Rex, a film that sees Paul Walker's brain implanted into the body of a T-Rex after he is murdered. I mean, sure.
This isn't the first time that full movies have played in games, with Destroy All Humans! playing Plan 9 From Outer Space, and The Darkness playing To Kill A Mockingbird and The Man with the Golden Arm.
Before you grab the popcorn and get ready to watch Tammy and the T-Rex (presumably for the first time), it's simply not happening for some.
Tammy And The T-Rex Is Broken In High On Life
Some High On Life players have been trying to steer into the opportunity and kick their feet up with a '90s classic, but in many players' cases, it's just not working.
The game appears to be forcing many instances of the film to cut off after a certain period of time, with fans stating that they only got around nine minutes into the film before its screen went black and nothing following. Aw.
It looks like High on Life is letting Paul Walker fans down here. Come on, if you're going to go for the funny, at least do it right, team.
