“I tried so hard to like this game. Love the space aesthetic and the goofy-ass humor, but man, this game just does not respect my time. Grindiness isn’t the issue. I love a good grind. Running dailies/weeklies is some of…”

“Great game with tons of fun details and surprising moments that keep things fresh and exciting. However, the early game can feel a bit rough. Oxygen is very limited, and everything progresses quite slowly until you…”
“This game is good, dont get misleaded by some of the bad ones. Yes there's base building in the game, but it's not available in chapter 1. Yes you have access to vehicles, but not available in chapter 1. This game is…”

“Overall I think its an ok experience with a lot of caveat. I don’t think its worth the full asking price, and would only recommend during a sale. If you hadn’t played subnautica yet, I recommend it over this game if you…”
“I tried so hard to like this game. I just kept bouncing off it. It is trying to be funny, and it is sometimes, however it feels like it has a hard time keeping that comedic tone.”

“I wanted to like this game, but the QOL is atrocious. Breath time is way too short. Tool durability is way too low, and they aren't repairable. Auto-save feature activates too infrequently. I don't mind the silly little…”
“More of a maybe, its a fresh take on survival crafters. Be warned though, even with remapping available, the controls are a bit unintuitive, and you might want to mute the game volume; the companion ai is just so…”

“Ignore the negative reviews and try it yourself! I almost didn't play this game, but I'm really glad I gave it a chance. BreathEdge has quickly become one of my new favourites. It's peaceful and calming, but with just enough challenge to keep you hooked. The game doesn't hold…”
— a player, Steam review · 45 hrs played“My main complaint about this game: The game intentionally tries to prolong the play time with unnecessary tasks/obstacles/crafting requirements (awful durability on all tools). It is explicitly joked about a couple of times in-game as well. The first time, it is funny but after…”
