Introduction:
High On Life is the brain child of Ricky & Morty creator, Justin Roiland. It is a comedic first-person shooter game, with action-adventure and metroidvania elements, taking place in a science fiction world, which features talking guns.This game is not for everyone, as it features simple gameplay mechanics and the type of comedy Roiland is known for; however, it is a fun mindless shooter.

Abbreviated Walkthrough:
Around half of the achievements in the game are directly related to story progression. Just playing through the game normally will net you around 500

; however, there are a lot of missable and miscellaneous achievements that you should focus on getting along the way. Refer to the missable achievements in the following order to ensure you don't miss one along the way:

Fallout Doesn't Let You Do This (20G)
Don't Knife The Hand That Feeds (20G)
A Starfish is Born (45G)
Gunning For Your Job (20G)
Carried Stan's Load To Completion (30G)
RIP Davey Glutes (20G)
Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood (20G)
Playing Favorites (45G)
Playing Card to Get (30G)

Additionally, there are 227 collectibles in the game. Players should focus on grabbing any lugloxs they find during the story, but plan on mopping up most of them after the game.

Mop-Up:
Your mop-up will consist of collecting lugloxs (Luglox Genocide (60G) and Playing Card to Get (30G)) and grabbing any miscellaneous achievements you missed. Keep in mind that many of these are missable, like Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood (20G), and will require additional playthroughs to earn.

Conclusion:
High On Life is a fun game, but can be a frustrating experience for achievement hunters. This is due to the number of missable achievements and high collectible count. But, if you are willing to stick with it, it will feel like a very rewarding completion!
