Catching Up on High on Life Before the Sequel Hits
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
A quick story recap of High on Life to get players ready for the upcoming sequel, revisiting humanity's bizarre struggle against an alien drug cartel.
Squanch Games delivered one of the most eccentric shooter premises in recent memory when humanity suddenly became the universe's most sought after recreational drug. Playing as an unassuming kid armed with talkative alien hardware and high tech armor, you carved a messy path through the cosmos to shut down the G3 cartel. It was a chaotic mix of absurdist comedy, platforming, and fast paced gunplay that quickly found a massive audience among creators and viewers on Twitch and YouTube.
Now that a sequel is on the horizon, diving back into the lore is essential if you want to keep up with the weirdness. The original game leaned hard into its comedic identity, but beneath the jokes about space toilets and foul mouthed living weapons was a surprisingly deep sci-fi universe. As players prepare for the next chapter, revisiting how humanity fought back against extraterrestrial cartels gives us a great excuse to look at how modern comedic shooters handle long term world building.
Whether you originally played on console, PC, or via cloud streaming, the transition to the next installment promises even more chaotic action and boundary pushing humor. Keep an eye on how the developers expand this unique universe. You can read the full retrospective and prep for what is next over at IGN South Africa.
