High On Life 2 is a fast‑paced, first‑person comedy shooter where you once again play the galaxy’s most unlikely bounty hunter, now famous after saving humanity in the first game. Five years later, a new intergalactic conspiracy and a bounty on your sister’s head drag you back into the business, teaming you up with an expanded cast of foul‑mouthed alien guns as you shoot, stab, and now skateboard through bigger, more varied planets. Built with three large hub worlds, more open Metroidvania‑style progression, and the same loud, weird sci‑fi humor, it aims to be a larger, more experimental sequel while staying true to the original’s tone.
