This Week In Video Games 1/26/26 — 1/30/26

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

We can finally rest now that the week is over and all of those video games have made their way out to us in different ways. Many titles like #Dispatch, #HELLMART, and #The9thCharnel had their releases this week. We also had a whole lot to look at for #HighOnLife2 with the developers getting us ready for that launch. Then there were a whole lot of trailers for video games and films based on some of them in the mix too. Just like many of the other weeks we have had. The cycle will continue, even though we are putting a pin in the week. Almost as if we are in a game loop too…

 

The Comedy Writing Walks A Very Fine Line In High On Life 2

Learn more about the writing process that has gone down for the upcoming #HighOnLife2 so you can be ready for all of the laughs

We all have been expecting the writing to be top-tier when it comes to #HighOnLife 2. We have had that in the past, and with all of the other things that fall in line with Squanch Games, so it feels like a reasonable expectation to have. Even if writing comedy is not the easiest thing to do out there in the wilds. With February 13th rolling up quickly for High On Life 2 to land on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC, it feels like we might need to have a few things explained to us so we are not expecting too much from the game. That is why we are back with yet another developer diary that goes into the humor and just how the comedy is being written for this go in the IP.

 

High On Life 2 Walks Us Through A Bit More Of Why The Game Was Made

A new developer diary for High On Life 2 is here, and it explains a bit more about why #HighOnLife has a sequel

With the release date for #HighOnLife2 coming up on us all rather quickly, it is high time that we learned more about the game directly from the source. The source being Squanch Games and a new look at just why they made the new game. Well, beyond the desire to put more of the content out there and make more money on the hilarious first-person shooter game. That has to be a driving goal, but not the only reason we are heading back into the High On Life universe with this game. As the developer diary we have here, it looks like there will be a lot more to experience on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC this February 13th than just talking guns and crazy skateboarding out there. Let us have a look.

 

This Week In Video Games 12/8/25 — 12/12/25

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

The week has finally dragged itself over the finish line here, and we did end with a rather solid bit for all of our video games. #TheGameAwards usually does that since the powers that be helped to kill any of the usual conferences we used to have for their own glorification. Ignoring that, we did have a big update for #RERequiem, #ShesLeaving, and #InvincibleVS out there. Along with many other video games that were not as big as the others, but still worth the time and effort from all of us. Just because they do not have all of the power behind them as the AAA, does not mean we should not give them all a highlight. Then, maybe we can all stop complaining about getting the same thing over and over.

 

High On Life 2 Takes Us All For A Little Ride Before Launch

A new look at the locomotion coming to High On Life 2 is here, with a skateboard getting added into the roster of things in #HighOnLife2

The time has finally made it here, and we have a look at the new form of locomotion that is coming in #HighOnLife 2. We had a jetpack and various other bits before, but for this go, Squanch Games is giving us all a skateboard to ride around on. Not just as a fun way to get around, but rather fits the look and feel of the IP. In fact, this new addition for High On Life 2 will give us so much more. That means a bit of weaponizing it, but it also looks as if it has been driving some of the level design for the game. So, before the February 13th release of the game on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC, we have a developer dive into this new addition to the game out there.

 

This Week In Video Games 12/1/25 — 12/5/25

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

The week is over, and we had just as many fun new things in the world of video games as we always have. A little more on the indie side again, but I am sure that is due to some of the bigger announcements being held for the upcoming Game Awards. Although that does not mean we should not be paying attention to such video games like #Postal: Bullet Paradise, #HighOnLife2, or #MARVELCosmicInvasion. In addition to all of the other AAA titles that had something to bring us while we were not watching the #FNAFMovie. A film that we have also been able to get a solid review out there for you to have a look at before and after you see the film for yourself.

 

High On Life 2 Brings Us All Some Happiness With Some Pre-Orders

The pre-orders for High On Life 2 are open with a new product in the works for us to keep eyes open for in #HighOnLife2

All of our pain and sadness will soon be taken away, with the pre-orders for #HighOnLife 2. Well, that is for the humans out there who want it all taken away. Those non-humans out there can make their orders for Humanzapro, since Squanch Games is only dropping this game on Earth on February 13th, 2026, for the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC. So, those aliens and others who will not be able to get High On Life 2, are going to need something to pick them up. This will be their only option, as the rest of the humans out there will have the game to keep them happy when the time of sadness comes about out there.
