    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.

    No 'Invert Y axis' control option; unplayable for me or any other invert user - hard pass

It's still playable as long as you remember to save often. There is some sketchy behavior depending on your save point (for instance getting killed while the game is loading, or sinking in a zero gravity area after loading).

    I finished the game, but trying to warp back to the Shepherd site after completing all chapters causes the game to crash every time.

    Lot's of things to like about this game (background music, humor, varied play mechanics).

    The resource gathering early on is more chore than fun.

    It's a shame that a resource gathering robot isn't implemented into the available technologies - similar to peons in Warcraft with a Russian flavor - instead of "Okay" and "Yes, my liege", the robots would acknowledge with a "Dah, Comrade Captain" or "K Vashim Uslugam" (At your service in Russian).    … Full Review »
