  • Strong improvement over the first game with many quality of life enhancements like better inventory management and tool mechanics.
  • Enjoyable humor and unique quirky style that fans of the series or genre will appreciate.
  • Good graphics and performance, with a fun exploration and crafting core loop that provides a solid foundation and shows strong future potential.
  • Currently very short early access content, closely resembling an extended demo with limited progression and repetitive tasks.
  • Annoying and poorly received voice acting for the AI companion, which many find grating and detracts from the experience.
  • Survival mechanics such as hunger, thirst, and oxygen management are often considered too tedious or unbalanced, causing gameplay to feel like a chore.

  • humor

    The humor in the game is divisive, with fans appreciating its goofy, crude, and satirical style reminiscent of the original, while others find it flatter, forced, or less clever than before. Some players enjoy the tongue-in-cheek and absurd jokes sprinkled throughout, but numerous reviews mention that the humor often misses the mark due to poor delivery, annoying characters, or translation issues. Overall, it retains a quirky charm for fans of juvenile or dark comedy, but may not appeal to everyone.

    • “Breathedge requires an appreciation for goofy juvenile humor, so if you're good with that give it a try.”
    • “[b]Fun fact:[/b] the satirical humor remains front and center - packed with hilarious real-world meta references, including clever nods to petroleum prices and lockdown-era quarantine jokes.”
    • “Best of all, they kept the dirty humor and witty comebacks from the in-game characters.”
    • “Additionally, once repaired, the mannequin/robot spouts random - utterly unfunny or useless - comments every time you go near it. It's moments like this that make the game feel like it's trying too hard to make us laugh and ends up tripping over itself.”
    • “I can't even get past the first few minutes of this game. The voice acting is so horrible that I don't want to push through it because they make jokes that feel like something you'd say to an infant or child; they are not funny at all and are downright annoying when paired with the terrible voice acting.”
    • “The jokes are not funny at all and sound like bad stand-up comedy.”

  • gameplay

    106 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    32% positive mentions, 60% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers an engaging survival experience with new mechanics, crafting, and exploration that build well on the first game. However, some find it grindy and repetitive due to resource management and early access content limitations, with survival mechanics occasionally interrupting the flow. Overall, it’s a fun, polished foundation with potential, though some mechanics and content depth need further refinement.

    • “The new core mechanics are extremely fun to play around with, and the world, alongside its characters, feels a level more in depth.”
    • “Having played both games from launch, I can confidently say the early access for Breathedge 2 is already vastly superior to the first in mechanics and interactable environmental objects.”
    • “Same humor, same gameplay, but all new mechanics, locations, tools, and upgrades.”
    • “Slow redundant gameplay, it is a slog to play.”
    • “The gameplay loop is also not interesting at all, it's not interesting to manage your needs, it's not interesting to manage resources, and there is a general empty feeling, like there's nothing to do and no point in doing anything.”
    • “Really love the concept of this game, however, the consistent grinding mechanic for food, water, and sleep combined with the player’s ultra slow movement takes away from the fun exploration, story, puzzle solving aspects of the game.”

  • story

    106 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    16% positive mentions, 74% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The story in this game receives mixed feedback, with some players enjoying its absurd humor and sci-fi survival adventure vibe, while others find it confusing, poorly guided, and lacking depth, especially for newcomers unfamiliar with the first installment. Many note the limited and fragmented nature of the current story content, which feels incomplete and often overshadowed by repetitive, fetch-based side quests and grinding resource management. Overall, while there is potential and a dedicated fanbase eager for future updates, the narrative currently feels underdeveloped and disjointed, making it less engaging for some players.

    • “It's a wonderful game, can't wait for the next part in the story. It took 50 hours; since it starts a bit slow if you don't know what you're doing but after a while you move faster and are able to move from point to point. Despite some slow movement and resource limitations, overall I really enjoy it and can't wait for more of the game.”
    • “End of chapter one was a blast, looking forward to the release of chapter two and seeing where the story goes.”
    • “If you're here for the story, it's excellent.”
    • “I kid you not... not a clue what the game was about, what I was doing, or why... from my point of view the storytelling aspect completely fails people entering this game without playing the prior title.”
    • “The robot thing is ridiculous, the missions and tasks make no sense and are just thrown in.”
    • “There is no clear direction and the game dumps you into the middle of a story that you are just 'meant to know' it seems.”

  • graphics

    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    62% positive mentions, 26% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The graphics are consistently praised for their appealing art style, smooth performance, and solid optimization, often running well at high or ultra settings without issues. While not hyper-realistic, the visuals are sharp, unique, and contribute to a fun and engaging atmosphere. Users appreciate the detailed world, good lighting, and the balance between polished graphics and gameplay.

    • “Quality of the graphics are amazing, I love the look of the game and it runs super smooth on my PC, zero issues.”
    • “Graphics: 10/10. I wasn't expecting too much, but not only is the world detailed with good lighting and texture, there is physics clutter absolutely everywhere and performance is 60fps even at max settings looking out over a far draw distance.”
    • “The jokes were absurd, the world was full of fun references, and the clean, simple, stylized visuals made everything feel unique.”
    • “Graphics: 5/10”
    • “The graphics and the map look decent”
    • “Graphic and the map look decent”

  • grinding

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is widely seen as tedious and overly demanding, with fast-depleting hunger and thirst mechanics that disrupt exploration and enjoyment. While some appreciate the core gameplay and atmosphere, the repetitive resource gathering and slow pacing significantly detract from the experience, making the grind feel more frustrating than engaging.

    • “As a standalone game, it's basically another grindy survival game built around the same idea: everything is broken, so go repair it, but before gather more resources.”
    • “Really love the concept of this game, however, the consistent grinding mechanic for food, water, and sleep combined with the player’s ultra slow movement takes away from the fun exploration, story, puzzle solving aspects of the game.”
    • “On top of that, hunger and thirst drops way too fast, material grinding is tedious, and the robot won't stop talking with jokes that rarely land.”

  • atmosphere

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    36% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its immersive space setting, detailed world, and fitting music, successfully capturing a sense of exploration and isolation. While the original game's atmosphere is seen as strong and engaging, some view the sequel as visually improved but less immersive, with mixed feelings about its pacing, tone, and certain elements like the robot voice and writing. Overall, the atmosphere blends moments of tension and quiet exploration, appealing especially to fans of survival and space exploration themes.

    • “The atmosphere still grabbed me: the music, the world we explore, the details are immersive and captivating.”
    • “I love the atmosphere, the exploration, the freedom, and just being able to get lost in this strange space.”
    • “Graphics and performance are good; the atmosphere is very good with some awesome background art.”
    • “Then there's the environmental atmosphere... Breathedge 2 looks significantly more beautiful than the original game, but somehow manages to feel less immersive.”
    • “The robot voice is annoying, the writing is horrible, and even the starting atmosphere falls flat.”
    • “Be2 plays a longer intro movie that doesn't really explain any setup or introduce characters to new players effectively, then you hit a situation and begin the much quieter survival journey with a lot more hand holding, gentler overall pacing & atmosphere, and longer than anyone would like in pulling open boxes around a small wrecked station like a trash picker.”

  • optimization

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    57% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 29% negative mentions

    The game is well-optimized, delivering smooth 60fps performance even at max settings and large draw distances, with detailed graphics and polished mechanics. While occasional minor frame drops occur, they do not significantly impact the overall gameplay experience.

    • “Graphics and performance are good, atmosphere is very good with some awesome background art.”
    • “Graphics: 10/10: I wasn't expecting too much, but not only is the world detailed with good lighting and texture, there is physics clutter absolutely everywhere and performance is 60fps even at max settings looking out over a far draw distance.”
    • “It's nice overall, well optimized, looks good in terms of both graphics and art style, most mechanics have been polished from the first part.”
    • “Performance is also okay, I usually play all games on lowest settings and also this game.”
    • “There were moments where it did drop in performance, but nothing that would take me out of the game.”

  • music

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The music received mixed feedback, with appreciation for the relaxing and atmospheric soundtrack that enhances exploration and base moments, but some found a particular sound element distracting. Overall, the sound design effectively contributes to the game's immersive and adrenaline-filled experience.

    • “The atmosphere still grabbed me, the music, the world we explore, the details are rolling and pushing.”
    • “Every step of early exploration is filled with excitement, adrenaline (from always running out of air and the dramatic sound design) coupled with the chirpy radio music when you're at base to really push and pull you all over in an addicting early game loop.”
    • “There's a sound in the music that is driving me crazy (sounds like cell phone vibrating for a call), other than that I find it really relaxing and started my second playthrough of the early access.”
    • “Music: 5/10, only the voice acting stands out.”
    • “There's a sound in the music that is driving me crazy (sounds like a cell phone vibrating for a call), other than that I find it really relaxing.”
    • “The music has a distracting noise resembling a cell phone vibrating, which detracts from the experience.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game demonstrates impressive stability with minimal bugs or glitches, especially notable given its early access status. Users report a mostly smooth experience, encountering only rare, non-critical issues.

    • “So I'm just going to say 1 was really good but buggy as hell, though I finished it like ten times.”
    • “I did not experience any game-breaking glitches, only once had to reload a save when testing game mechanics.”
    • “Even though it's early access, I didn't encounter any bugs or glitches, which is impressive considering the scale and release model.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
