However, these instances are quickly ruined by the annoying chatter of the spacesuit narrator. It’s an awful shame the AI has to babble incessantly at every moment because there are a few rare moments when the game is authentically funny. You will be given the two choices of either placing it on the ground or beating in your skull with it (I chose the latter).

Breathedge obnoxiously expects you to laugh at every prank and joke after giving a full explanation of the punchline.Īn example would be a mission at the very beginning where you are told to craft a complex item called the “crap imposed by the developers.” Upon preparing the object, you come to realize that it’s just a useless pile of junk shaped like a particular male body organ. It seems RedRuins didn’t understand that “lampshading” a cliche doesn’t automatically make it OK to use said cliche, especially in gaming. The game is an endless spiral of buffoonery that becomes more humiliating to the soul than offensive. While your mileage of enjoyment of the suffocating humor may vary, your spacesuit AI will never stop drilling into your head that the game is “supposed to be funny and ironic.” It’s like the developers watched a few episodes of Rick and Morty or Robot Chicken and then proclaimed themselves to be comedic geniuses. The moments I found myself enjoying the game the most were when everything was quiet, allowing me to drift about peacefully with the ominous yet faint background ambiance. From the very moment you begin, Breathedge will force-feed you its cringeworthy jokes on a treadmill, spewing out a comical gag one after another at every chance possible. The writing is intentionally ironic as it is unintentionally moronic.

As dramatic as this all sounds, Breathedge will suck the very excitement out of the player with its repetitive, uninspired narrative and gameplay. Suddenly, you find yourself flung into a catastrophic conspiracy of militant sentient coffins and radical intergalactic organizations.

You play as a humble simpleton taking his grandpa’s ashes to an outer space funeral. Breathedge is available for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox One.īreathedge: Space Is an Infinite Abyss of “Old Man Dirty Jokes” Breathedge is an indie first-person sci-fi survival sandbox adventure where you’ll experience Alien Isolation without the “alien,” space station AI that incessantly yell for you to “put it back in, and an aquarium for displaying the bloated carcasses of hamsters.

RedRuins Softworks has transcended comical absurdity to the “astronomical level,” creating one of the most “unironically ironic experiences” in gaming. Space has become the final frontier of your dignity.
