  • Summary: Breathedge is an ironic outer space survival adventure game. Take on the role of a simple guy called the Man who is just carrying his grandpa's ashes to a galactic funeral and suddenly finds himself in the middle of a universal conspiracy.

    A massive space hearse suffers a wreck in the deep space, leaving the area filled with debris, coffins, dead passengers and yourself. Survive in this interstellar dump, uncover a global conspiracy, save the princess and don't break your fingers while tapping the keyboard as you travel around the world (keeping your display on for full immersion is advised).

    It took a long time for our ancestors to develop because they had no electrical tape. You have it and you know how to use it. With this magical artifact, you can create a vast variety of useless objects and throw them out of the airlock! There are also many useful items to be created, but be careful as this may result in completing the game.

    When all your neighbors just hover around in vacuum doing nothing but playing dead, various tools and gears will help you become the worst noisy neighbor ever. Create a unique space station, provide it with oxygen and electricity, install all kinds of equipment from solar panels to a hamster farm, and turn it into a real bachelor pad by stuffing it with furniture mixed with all kinds of junk.

    Yes, you heard that right, it's your own private car horn! Besides that, you can assemble a small rocket, ride the dead or build a large space shuttle. Transportation helps you move faster, evade obstacles and see the death screen after a head-on collision.

    Surviving in space is fun, and surviving with a story is even more fun because you can just skip it all to annoy the scriptwriters! Breathedge offers you an intriguing plot with lots of dark jokes, cynical dialogues, an immortal chicken, a mad enemy, as well as badly animated cutscenes and other features that make an excellent game an excellent game.    … Expand

    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.

    Do you want to laugh at an absurd look into the future of space travel and get along with survival games, then you should like to check outDo you want to laugh at an absurd look into the future of space travel and get along with survival games, then you should like to check out "Breathedge". The humor may not be to everyone's taste, but aside from that, the beautiful views of space wrecks and the challenge of escaping death make for a few entertaining hours of gameplay. Building a space station is its own reward, as are the in-game rewards. We can only recommend the game and look forward to jumping right back into the adventure.… Expand

Overall I'd say it's worth a play through if you like survival games. If you can find it on sale on the Playstation Store, it's definitely worth the cost. The environment is gorgeous, and makes it fun to explore. This is the biggest appeal of the game to me. Collecting resources and building items to survive is pretty fun, and kept me wanting to push forward. Some of the survival mechanics need work though. Storage is lacking, inventory management is rough (on the PS5, but seems great on PC), controller button mapping is horrible (options for inventory instead of touch pad, options to exit instead of circle), some resources are next to impossible to find (i.e. aluminum, alkali), durability on tools like scanners is frustratingly low, and base building really struggles (I could never figure out how to build an airlock between the main module and the transport module to protect oxygen).

    Even a year after the PS5 release I can see the game is version 1.0.0. I'm hoping they can fix some of these things in a later release. In my opinion, the first Subnautica game is the best survival game to date. I see this as a competitor if improvements can be made. In it's current state it's still worth playing.    … Expand
