Breathedge is the first game that I can outright NOT RECOMMEND !
There are worse game out there, this one is on the weaker side, but after analyzing it enough, it pains me to say this but This Game is BAD.

Made by Russian indie developers headquartered in UAE of all places. lol
This game tries to be a satirical funny survival game with crafting. Sounds good on paper.
But they astonishingly FAILED at EVERY aspect of the game! That is an actual achievement on the devs part.

First and foremost the most fatal flaw is the never ending not funny "humor" the game bombards you with every damn second of the game! It never shuts up! You can't process the previous joke, before you are slapped with the next one! The worst thing is that an overwhelming majority of the "jokes" are NOT funny at all.
I mentally checked out and decreased the volume to completely ignore this noise and the story.
But sadly that part was not what broke me.

The survival mechanics and overall gameplay was simply NOT fun.
You constantly need to eat and drink in less than an hour, no other survival game is this annoying. In real life people don't eat like pigs like that that, it is abundantly clear they did it to pad out the game and create artificial challenge. But ok, that could be ignored. I already am ignoring the voice lines, non-existent unimportant story and now the basic survival mechanics. Too much leniency just to enjoy the game.. But that's not all.
The tools have such disgustingly small durability that you have to constantly rebuild them, this is beyond irritating!
Crafting is tedious as blueprints are "supposedly neatly" sorted into their own sections but that only makes players navigate through so many menu tabs to just build the most basic stuff!
The survival mechanics lack any joy, this game pretends to be something like Subnautica but we are struggling to survive the boredom!
-
Pacing is even worse! The gameplay is slow and restrictive, it only gets more annoying in midgame and the late game completely changes genre and becomes a scripted on-rails walking simulator and feels rushed! WTF? You are indie devs, who is rushing you!?!


While playing this game words such as: insufferable, infuriating and tiresome came to mind multiple times in 3 different languages! That's like 9+ words and all the synonyms!
I actually dropped the game and thought to play it later with a new perspective. Well here I am, and nothing changed, it only got worse!
There is only 2 other games that actually pissed me off like this: the beautiful but incompetent "King's Bird" and the stunning pixel-art but mechanical failure that is "Party Hard" and its sequel.
At this point, I have exactly 100 negative reviews of games and some DLCs. I stand by each one of them.
But these 3 games I despise with a passion.


They are making a sequel, hopefully they have learned their lesson. But the way they tease the new female character and show none of her face but plenty of her gyatt, tells me it is not that promising as a game..

Breathedge is a boring, unfunny, annoying and exhausting version of Subnautica that is simply not worth it.

Not a good game. It is a tedious and boring walking simulator. Often compared to Subnautica, this is game is nothing like it. In Subnautica, you want to explore, you want to go out and look for stuff. The pacing in Subnautica is just right and gives you options to refill air. I have 4 hours on file and I still did not find lead to build the next item that lets me progress further, but I cannot explore sufficiently because I have not enough air. There are only so many O2 candles you can make.

Not to speak of the obnoxious humour, that gets boring after a while.

This is a game borne of such ridiculous struggle that the inane comedy does nothing to offset the banality of constantly struggling to breathe while having no idea what you're looking for.
