    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.

    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.

    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 a lot going for it in its well-loved Early Access sandbox portion. But when it becomes more of a walking simulator, things take a turn. Regardless, it's a funny game that's still worth playing for anyone who enjoys the concept and the humor. But I can't help but think that many will be disappointed by the later parts of the game.

    In a nutshell, Breathedge is a Subnautica in space. While it’s not as good as the Unknown Worlds Entertainment’s masterpiece and would benefit from a better story, it’s still a solid survival game, real pretty and spiced up with absurd humor. [05/2021, p.58]

    While there’s some comfort in the repetitive routine of mining and seeking refuge back in your space liner, as you gradually chip away at your objectives, its endless gags and space jokes do get tedious very quickly.

    Try not to suffocate… or die of boredom. Breathedge's concept of survival crafting in space may be good, but it just isn't fun.

    For me however, that was definitely part of the charm. It's a survival game, but for the life of me I have no idea why the food or water meters were included. You find more than you'll ever need constantly.

    Someone called it 'subnautica in space' and while that's somewhat accurate as far as gameplay goes, the ORIGINAL (subnautica 2 is garbage) subnautica had a much more compelling story, I think.    … Expand

От этой игры не нужен выразительный сюжет, не нужен высокий посыл и смысл. Если взять эту игру, как просто хорошее приключение с качественной музыкой, отменным юмором и subnautica-подобным геймплеем — собственно, это идеальная игра. Но порой эта игра проваливается в собственных идеалах, и ближе к энд-гейму вы замечаете, что игра просто проваливается в шлак, торопя заканчивая историю. Тем не менее, эта игра определено стоит вашего внимания, таких проектов вы больше и не встретите, и возможно для кого-то это будет глотком свежего воздуха… Expand
