What Breathedge is
Breathedge is an adventure game developed by RedRuins Softworks and released in 2018. It was published by HypeTrain Digital. It is available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
The premise, in the publisher's words
A massive space hearse suffers a wreck in the deep space, leaving the area filled with debris, coffins, dead passengers and yourself. Survive in this interstellar dump, uncover a global conspiracy, save the princess and don’t break your fingers while tapping the keyboard as you travel around the world (keeping your display on for full immersion is advised).

It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, open world, science fiction and survival. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 54 achievements to unlock.
Where it sits in the Breathedge series
Breathedge is the first of 2 entries we hold in the Breathedge series. The next entry was Breathedge 2 in 2026.
How it was received
Breathedge holds a critic score of 82 out of 100. That places it above 76% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2018 averaged 69, so it scored 13 points above the year average. Players rate it 76, 6 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 25 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 35 hrs, roughly 1.4 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $2.49, that works out to about $0.10 per hour of the main story, or $0.07 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel core i3 (3rd generation), 8 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 660. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 7GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

The cheapest verified price right now is $2.49 at Steam, 90% below its usual price. Across the 10 stores we track, the same game ranges up to $6.25 — a spread of $3.76 for an identical product.
