How Long to Beat High On Life

High On Life How Long to Beat

Having spent some time playing High On Life, we can report that beating the game should take you no more than 8-10 hours if you stick to the main story path. A little skip over to play time aggregator How Long to Beat backs this up with an average playtime of around 9 hours to wrap up the story. 

If you’re more of a completionist and plan on unearthing every last secret High On Life has to offer, then expect your play time to swell anywhere from 15 to 25 hours. As with most games, what difficulty level you dial in impacts how long it will take to beat High On Life, with more challenging settings pushing up the play time count.

In terms of additional content, there are collectibles to track down, side quests and bounties to complete, NPCs to talk to, and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. High On Life is styled as a Metroidvania, so expect a good dose of backtracking as you build out your arsenal with talking weapons, each with unique abilities that open up new parts of each level.
