    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.

    Alcohol, chickens, kebabs, space and coffin robots in bowler hats. 1950s Soviet visual stylings and hamster smoothies. Mayonnaise, kebabs, flying ZAZ cars and laser blasters. There’s so much to love about this game. Buy it.

    It’s not very helpful at the start, and at times the comedy falls flat. But stick with Breathedge and there’s a surprisingly deep mechanic entwined with a Schafer-esque story adventure.

    Breathedge 1.0 is a fun, humorous free-form float through space. There's not a lot to complain about here as the game does the survival/collecting game genre proud. Wrap this up with some humorous storytelling that would make Deadpool proud and you have a bonafide winner!

    Awesome when it’s about visual interface and immersion, but it has several design mistakes that slow down game’s rate. Luckily, losing oneself floating through the space it’s worth it while we unlock extras. It’s also a video game with many doses of humor and easy to keep players hooked to the main plot.

    Breathedge has great visuals, engaging story and good humor, but its survival elements prove to be more of a burden than something that enhances the experience. [Issue#252, p.58]

    Breathedge isn’t the greatest survival-crafting game out there, but it is one of the more unique. There are genuine moments of brilliance here. You have to look to find the better aspects of its storytelling and find a way around the aggravating narration, but dig deep enough, and you will find some amazing things.

    While not perfect, Breathedge is a fun spin on the survival formula that doesn't take itself too seriously.

    Breathedge is an atypical survival, which tries to do what subnautica did years ago, replacing water with outer space and with a non-sense narrative. Fun and stimulating in exploration, much less successful in its narrative component.

    I wasn't impressed with it much, graphics are nice nothing better than Prey from a few years ago and that's a MUCH better game but not a grindI wasn't impressed with it much, graphics are nice nothing better than Prey from a few years ago and that's a MUCH better game but not a grind survival game like this is. IF you enjoy grind survival games and the overactive adhd comedy style then you'll love this game. It would lock up for a while when changing settings and was clunky in general. For instance the first part of actual gameplay you had to plug a leak, well the tutorials and etc are not well done and are not interactive. I used both gamepad and kbm since it isn't seamless, you have to use kbm sometimes. Did get it going but I just found the rest of it overdone, and the "normal" difficulty was the lowest you could get, you could do a tour mode but there's no story there at all. Your oxygen lasts only a minute or two so it's go out, get this come back, repeat. Refunded.… Full Review »
