A quick story recap of the original High on Life to prep players for the upcoming sequel, courtesy of IGN South Africa.
If you are planning to jump into High on Life 2 but your memory of the 2022 original is a bit hazy, you are definitely not alone. The first game dropped us into an absurd sci-fi trip where Earth gets conquered by a ruthless interstellar drug cartel that uses humans as illegal substances. As an unassuming gaming fanatic armed with a suit of advanced power armor and a collection of sentient, fast-talking alien firearms, you found yourself thrown into a bizarre galaxy-spanning rescue mission.
That frantic adventure blended chaotic first-person shooter mechanics with heavy doses of meta-humor and improvisational comedy that dominated streaming feeds across Twitch and YouTube. Your talking arsenal of Gats wasn't just there for firepower, as they served as your constant, wisecracking companions through every weird bounty hunt and surreal alien planet you visited. Understanding how that chaotic crusade wrapped up gives you the best footing for whatever strange directions the sequel decides to take.
IGN South Africa recently put together a handy video breakdown to get everyone caught up on the plot before the new installment arrives. Whether you played through every corner of the original map or just watched your favorite creators speedrun the campaign, reviewing the lore now ensures you will not miss a beat when the next wave of talking guns and cosmic absurdity lands on your platform of choice.
