In Breathedge: Cosmic Cluck, HypeTrain Digital has you taking over the position of “The Man” who, whereas carrying his grandpa’s ashes to a galactic funeral, all of a sudden finds himself in the midst of a common conspiracy. To make issues much more weird, your solely companion via all of this can be a wise-cracking immortal hen.
With regards to the gameplay in Breathedge: Cosmic Cluck, that revolves round exploring area wreckage, gathering assets, and crafting. The survival mechanics within the sport are properly finished, with a continuing want to observe your oxygen ranges including a way of urgency to the duties of useful resource gathering and exploration. Gamers can even have to make use of their wits and no matter assets they’ll scavenge from the wreckage and, sure, survive the ramblings of a loopy hen.
The core thought right here is to drift in area and jetpack round a particles subject, and for probably the most half the sport will get this proper. Whereas that is painfully sluggish to start with, quickly after you get on the market amongst the wreckage, you get the flexibility to launch tether traces that may shortly pull you over distances. You can even lock onto enemy robots, and it is fairly satisfying determining how one can swing behind enemies for an explosive hit.
The visible model in Breathedge: Cosmic Cluck regarded good and floating within the wreckage whereas soaking within the sport’s cartoonish appeal provides to the immersion, with vivid colours that play properly with the Quest 3 we used throughout our time with the sport.
The sound design, then again, is a combined bag. The ambient sounds and music are well-done, creating a pleasant ambiance however the voice performing and audio stability may use some enchancment. That hen companion’s fixed makes an attempt at humor really feel far too pressured, although, and a lot of the jokes fall flat. I really feel strongly much less of this may be more practical right here, although that is actually only a minor subject, and solely barely detracts from the general expertise. I regarded within the settings and sadly the one choice discovered was to show off all voices within the sport. That is not supreme, as all I needed was for the hen to close the cluck up.
General, Breathedge: Cosmic Cluck is a enjoyable and interesting VR sport that gives a singular mix of survival, exploration, and humor. Regardless of some shortcomings, Breathedge: Cosmic Cluck is a sport that is not afraid to take dangers, and for probably the most half, it succeeds.
