Space survival game for PC

Breathedge is a premium adventure title for PC developed by RedRuins Softworks. It is a first-person survival game set in outer space. In it, players suffered from a mysterious spaceship crash and find themselves stranded and must find a way to survive with debris left from the wreckage.

Similar to The Planet Crafter and Space Engineers, Breathedge boasts open-world exploration wherein players need to adapt to their environment and be mindful of resources to ensure their survival. Also, everything takes place while they’re drifting in the vastness of space, making the experience much more gripping and immersive.

Alone in space

In Breathedge, you are Man, an average guy on your way to a space funeral with your grandfather’s ashes. While in transit, your vessel mysteriously crashes, leaving you the lone survivor, with no way to get back home. With nothing but debris, coffins, and a seemingly immortal chicken to keep you company, you must now do whatever it takes to survive the harsh and unforgiving conditions of space.

You’ll go on multiple expeditions out to space for crafting materials to create tools and upgrade your space suit. Withstand radiation and carry enough oxygen to reach the bridge and call for a rescue. Venture too far out, and you run the risk of suffocation, freezing, and other rather painful ways to die. Repair and expand your station to cover more area so you don’t lose essential ground (or space).

If you progress far enough to collect rare materials, you can even build a makeshift spacecraft like small rockets or a pseudo car. These can help you cover more areas faster and more effectively. The game ultimately feels tedious to play though despite its promising premise and gameplay. Upgrading your suit to carry more oxygen becomes a grind for materials and multiple back-and-forth trips that get boring and tiresome quickly.

It’s boring out here

What starts off as a promising space survival game ends up being a grind fest in an attempt to add depth and longevity to its gameplay. It has its moments with the quirky characters and offhand humor, but they are not really enough to make up for the underwhelming experience you’ll have. Things will improve in future updates, but for now you’re better off trying other titles instead.
