Breathedge Review - Not Funny Subnautica in Space

Breathedge is another survival game. This time we will explore space, try to get oxygen and gather resources. Although it is not a bad game, the reception is spoiled by poor humor.

Impulsegamer: 4.9 / 5 by John Werner

'Breathedge' is far from your normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill survival games for a magnitude of hysterical reasons that are worth discovering for yourself. Although the game starts a little slow, the constant slapstick dad jokes break up the mundane repetition that players normally encounter when starting a new survival game. It will take a little bit of the game to build up steam and really get going but it's a necessary element that pays off later when players are required to solve more creative puzzles. Breathedge is one of those games you can play casually at your own pace and doesn't require long consecutive amounts of time to play. Sparring 15-20 minutes here and there is all that's required for a steady progression through the game but still very enjoyable if you've got ample time up your sleeve as well. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys easter egg styled dad jokes or wants something oddly rewarding to play at a casual pace.

WellPlayed: 5 / 10 by James Wood

Breathedge takes an interesting premise and shoves it out the airlock with an overreliance on tired jokes and half-baked survival sim mechanics. An admirable attempt to move the genre forward collapses under the weight of too much self-awareness and not enough polish.

Cubed3: 4 / 10 by James Grech

Breathedge is a game at odds with itself. It tries to tell a compelling story, but the core narrator drones wearisome and unfunny dialogue; the world is beautiful and begging to be explored, but only ever an inch at a time; environments are curated with dark humour, but the gameplay loop doesn't allow time to take it in; and, worst of all, it undercuts players that commit hours to these systems by replacing them with a grim excuse for a walking simulator. For a title set in the vast expanse of space where anything is possible, it just isn't worth the time.

Breathedge is an adventure game with survival elements and a solid dose of specific humour. The title was developed by the independent studio RedRuins Softworks.

Story

The main character of Breathedge is a man who went on a space journey to arrange a funeral for his father, who died during an interstellar space. After his spaceship was damaged, the protagonist was forced to fight for survival. As if that wasn't enough, the man quickly encounters traces of a global conspiracy, and is tasked with saving a princess. However, protagonist is not alone in his quest - he is accompanied by an immortal chicken, which is the key to solving many problems.

Mechanics

In Breathedge, the action is shown from first-person perspective. An important element of the game is the struggle for survival. In the course of the game, we must not only carry out tasks that push the story forward but also provide the protagonist with food and drink, as well as a constant supply of oxygen. Apart from that, an extensive crafting system is implemented in the game, which allows for the creation of all kinds of tools, as well as elements of equipment for the secion of the ship that becomes our base of operations.

As we travel through the space battlefield, where the wreck of our ship drifts, we collect scrap, which can then be used to create various objects (useful or not). These include power generators (in the form of solar panels or a hamster farm), oxygen installations, means of transport, allowing for long journeys in the vacuum or even simple furniture.

Technical asprcts

Breathedge features high-quality three-dimensional visuals. You can enjoy the detailed interior of the broken ship and interstellar views, as well as realistic lighting. All of this is complemented by a refined physics engine that ensures that the objects behave like they should in zero gravity conditions.
