I now understand why neither NASA nor Elon ever called me back...

basically learn basic rocket science then like build a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rocket launch it guide it for 15 mins realized you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up a later stage reset fix it somehow break everything else get angry finally do the mission run out of fuel on the way back now you have a space station 10/10 game would send jeb into the sun again

balls, testicles even

I know this'll add to the pile of reviews much like this, but I'll put another voice in the mix

For starters I won't Mention KSP 2: this is a KSP 1 review. Someone more equipped than me can deal with that.

Kerbal Space Program is responsible for a new generation of aerospace enthusiasts, workers and engineers. Why? Because KSP managed to do what few others had managed before; make rocket science simple, yet retain the challenge and difficulty of achieving your objectives, of making you feel a landmark achievement has been made as soon as your little green man takes the small step for all Kerbal-kind.

Granted, a large part of the simplification was thanks to community members like the Legendary Scott Manley, but when it comes down to it, in KSP's final form, you're given basic information critical to how a rocket works; fuel? Check. A way to move in space? Check. Do I have enough DeltaV to make it to point B? yes. Is my rocket staging correct? check...the second time around anyway.

If you get confused, each point you get confused on is sequential, as in, you won't be confused about something you need later, before being confused about something you need now. You sought-out and learnt exactly what you needed when you needed it. By the time you've made it to orbit, to the Mun, to Duna, you've been confused, learnt about, and understood the hows and whys in the exact order you've needed to. Before you know it you're not considering certain things as much as you used to because you can tell by the look and shape of what you're building if it's going to make it, you've developed a mental note of the checklist you need, you've arranged the staging correctly and you know when your transfer windows to other moons and planets are.

Yes, this all takes a fair amount of time investment, depending on how you process and problem solve. I can confidently say, however, that if you're invested enough in spaceflight and travel, in going to other planets and moons, if you wish to put your own spin on rocketry and aerospace design, then it is well-worth the time investment and dopamine hit you get from sticking the landing, from returning home after a week-long science trip with dozens of science reports, from successfully designing a space station and having it in orbit, from joining in on the #HateDres part- wait...never mind that bit.

Mastered the base-game? Can make it to Eeloo in 3 parts and seven tons? Flung your green men into space at 15% of light-speed? KSP's modding community is legendary, providing some of the best community made expansions for parts, resources, career contracts, game mechanics and even entirely new solar systems, ways to get to them and even colonise them! Additionally, this game's dated graphics can be supplanted by many mods designed to overhaul the graphics and lighting effects of the game, bringing KSP forward into a more modern era of visual design. As the game has finished official development, mods are only going to become more refined and greater in scope than ever before.

Now, it's not all sunshine and roses, as their are a few leftover bugs and physics issues that can put a downer on gameplay. Kerbals occasionally get flung from your command pod if you go on spacewalks, loading a large, landed object like a planetary base can sometimes cause it to fly off (recommend you save the game before loading such things) and performance is rather lacking, meaning anything above 100 parts will only decrease frames and physics. These things, however, can be in some small way remedied or averted by certain mods. Some, not all. I can also say that from my recent experience, I have yet to encounter many issues, so they're not always common.

If you have a love for spaceflight and want to start your own space agency, sending green men on perilous, daring adventures for fame, for glory and for science...this is the game for you!

Give me the game back i didn't mean to delete it from my library😭

if kerbal space program 2 is so good wheres kerbal space program 2 1

Its very fun to play. You can make custom rockets. You can explore. And there are very good mods. 😀😀

I've played for hundreds of hours and can honestly say, do not purchase as of 9/3/2024 til they work out whatever they did to mess up my DLC, I can't open any saved games for lack of critical parts from DLC packs I purchased, but suddenly don't register.

boom

stuff go up. sometimes stuff don't. it do be like that

good tho
