Breathedge Reviews

Absolutely fantastic! relaxing, peaceful, off the wall humor. Just fabulous all around.

[h1]Dark Humor Meets Space Survival[/h1] Breathedge surprised me with how much personality it has. On the surface it looks like a survival game in space, gathering resources, crafting tools, trying not to run out of oxygen, but the writing and humor give it a completely different vibe. It’s dark, sarcastic, and sometimes absurd, and I found myself laughing at the most random, unexpected moments. Even when things got grim, the game always had a joke waiting to lighten it up. The world itself is fun to explore. You start drifting among wreckage and frozen corpses, and before you know it you’re building gadgets, upgrading your gear, and pushing deeper into the unknown. Every time I thought I’d seen everything, something new or bizarre would happen: a strange side event, a ridiculous cutscene, or some weird item that made me stop and go, “Wait, what?” It really nails that mix of danger and curiosity that keeps you wanting to see what’s next. Crafting and upgrades feel rewarding without being overwhelming. Each new tool or piece of gear opens up more of space to explore, and the game does a great job of making that progress feel worthwhile. Also the environments are gorgeous in their own quirky way, and drifting through the wreckage has this strange mix of beauty, danger, and comedy that kept me hooked. The only real frustration I had was when I wasn’t fully prepared and had to keep traveling back and forth for supplies or tools. It breaks the flow a bit, especially early on. It’s not just about surviving, it’s about the wild journey, the humor, and the sense that anything could happen. If you enjoy survival games but want one that doesn’t take itself too seriously, Breathedge is a weird, funny, and surprisingly memorable ride.

Fun story game with decent survival mechanics. If you like space games and survival games this is a good mix of both.

Before I started playing this game, I read a review that said "it is ultimately just running back and forth trying to find the one resource you need to move on to the next step" and I thought that was silly, that is just harvesting and resource management games. No. This is what this game is in a not good way. Like you can tell there was a lot of love put into it, but the gameplay is just not that fun. It could have been space subnautica, but the inspiration is just not there. Plus it is another game that struggles from uncertain tone. Do we take it seriously? Is the whole things a joke? How many times can they make the joke about tired gameplay tropes without realizing that is the entirety of the gameplay? There were a couple moments that got genuine solid laughs from me, but most of the time it doesn't land. The narrarator is annoying, talks to fast to absorb the info, and isn't funny. Could be worse, but hard to recommend this game even though I committed to getting through it. 5/10

The sense of humor wont be for everyone, but i found the game fun. Its quite pretty, and ran just fine. Think subnautica in space,... but silly. The last 3rd is mostly walking around and solving very light puzzles and some combat. Its a shift in gameplay some may not care for, but i found it fun overall.

Great game, enjoy the great humor. The game has some serious exploration and base building, irrespective of the satire. Loved it so much I bought it.

Worst thing about breathenge - it tries to be funny too hard. Sometimes it succeeds but most of the time it's that brand of mean 90s humor I really though we left far behind. At first it's just eh, but after meeting yet another "haha there's a man in woman's clothing / makeup, what a freak lol!" or "this person died like a complete idiot!" I just started dying of secondhand embarassement and dreading new commentaries. And they kept on coming endlessly... Otherwise it's just a mediocre Subnautica descendant with some weird gameplay desicions and exploration hindered by lack of beautiful landscapes to discover and missing sense of mystery. Worth it on a significant discount and if you're able to tolerate adolescent cringy humor.

Game can’t take itself seriously for even 1 minute. The cringey writing undercuts any sense of tension. It’s just generally unintuitive also. I followed the games directions and made the “some CRAP imposed by the developers” which is what its called. It is indeed junk and no further direction. Even with the Condom air upgrade im unable to progress far away fro the ship and honestly the game isn't interesting enough for me to persist.

The game starts out fine. It's a pretty standard survival open world crafting game. It sets itself apart by having a very funny opening credits and a solid framing device. You are telling your story about how you survived a space crash. I had a lot of fun with this game. I got extremely frustrated because the game expects you to be 1000% prepared every time you go out or you end up doing A LOT of backtracking. But even with that annoyance the first 2/3rds of the game is a pretty solid good time. Mostly just funny silliness with little hints of story mystery sprinkled in. Then you get to the final 3rd of the game. At this point the entire game changes completely. I won't spoil stuff should you still decide to play and want to experience it yourself but the long and short is that resources now barely matter and you do a lot of walking in corridors. The story keeps going but it doesn't really manage to be interesting at all. My final thoughts is that I hit a point just shortly before I finished the first 2/3rds where I went from "I'm having a good time" to "I really wish this game was over already.

Breathedge or as I like to call it, Breath-edge-of-my-patience—starts off as a hilarious space romp with plenty of charm. But somewhere along the way, it crosses the event horizon into Repetitive Resource Management Simulator 3000™. Once you're knee-deep in crafting, refilling, repairing, and babysitting every oxygen tank and space doodad, the fun kind of floats away... like your will to keep playing. And don’t get me started on the jokes—they start off cheeky but eventually feel like they're being beamed in from a dad joke black hole. I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. I wanted to explore space, not spend hours joyriding in a space Roomba while listening to a sentient chicken roast me for the 100th time.
