I think I have enough hours in the game now in order to give it a fair shake...

-Summary-
Kerbal Space Program is a game about the construction of rockets, planes, and whatever else it is your mind can concoct. It uses a model of real world physics in order to teach the player about aerodynamics, orbital mechanics, rocket construction etc...


This game has an incredibly steep learning curve. If you do not want to toil for hours over accomplishing something that other players can do with their eyes closed, then this is not the game for you. If you don't mind facing the multitude of challenges and learning experiences this game will throw at you, then I heartily recommend it. Kerbal Space Program is the best example of an educational game that puts fun first. You will learn so much cool stuff just by playing.

The game is extremely moddable, thus making it an extremely customisable experience. Players who love to obsess over the performance of their crafts will enjoy Kerbal Engineer, others might like the graphical improvements using scatterer. The most hardcore of players may be drawn to the Realism Overhaul pack. Point is, there's a mod out there for everyone.

KSP also has a wonderful community surrounding it. There's such a variety of people playing and sharing their love for the game and the aerospace field. There's always people to meet and learn from. Perhaps you'll pick up a thing or two that you can pass on to new players.

I love this game. It's charming, educational and fun. You'll learn awesome stuff and meet awesome people. Just be wary of the Kraken...
