I just played for over 2 hours and it is neither relaxing nor fun.
In the beginning you think this is a pretty good game.
Unreal Engine means fast controls and good graphics.
But the reality is differently.
Three really big things bug me the most.
1. You HAVE to save often, because dying means you have to load a game.
There is an autosave, but there is no indicator for it, or at least I never saw one.
So, each time you come back to your first safe space you have to press Escape/Save.
Each and every time.
And because you have VERY limited Oxygen at the start, you will be back practically every minute or so.
So every minute you press Escape/Save.
2. Hold for action
Most actions are "hold for a while for the action to do its thingy".
Some are just left click.
Others are: just right click.
I don't see the logic. If there is any.
You are short on O2, float through space and then you have to READ a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ text to know if you have to press left or right or hold left or hold right or whatever.
3. The resources
I need items to open all good resources or drill mining spots or remove rubber from the walls.
I need resources to create these items.
I need these items to get these resources.
And after more than two hours I did not get out of that deadlock.
I did not create ANY item but one stupid "debugger" which was one use only.
I give up.
If you want to waste your time, try it, but I'd say: DON'T!!!!
If you want Survival in Space, try
- No Man's Sky
- Empyrion - Galactic Survival
Or if you just want a good survival game:
- Conan Exiles Enhanced
- ICARUS
Perhaps this game is good.
I really liked the screenshots about the base building.
But if you make the start too hard, I'll just not play it.
Perhaps I am bad, perhaps the game is bad. Not sure.
But I am too bad for this game, so I say the game is bad. :--)
What the Google AI has to say:
[quote=Google AI]
Breathedge is often frustrating because it combines an aggressive, grating style of comedy with tedious survival mechanics, severe resource grinding, and a dramatic shift into a poorly-received linear corridor shooter near the end
