Kerbal Space Program isn't just a fantastic space game. It's one of those games that makes you glad you play on PC, because it could only come to exist on PC.

It is a game about embracing engineering and being unafraid to encourage craziness, so long as it can be physically done. It is a game that does the very idea of Science, with a capital S, proud.

KSP is bloody fantastic! The possibilities are endless and the feeling you get after a successful mission is the best ever. You should probably buy this video game. [Jul 2015, p.063]

This game is incredible. It is such great fun. However, my advice is DO NOT GET THE SEQUEL! Instead, just mod the original game. Install mods such as; EVE Redux, Scatterer, TUFX, Waterfall, Planetshine, Distant Object Enhancement and Parallax Continued for lovely visuals out of 2025.
For gameplay, just install all of Nertea's mods. Near Future and Far Future, Restock, Space Station Parts Continued, they are amazing. Blue Dog Design Bureau is great for historical restorations. This game is amazing, and if you are a space nerd, get it.

When i bought this game on sale a few years back i felt like an idiot, little did i know i would get a PhD in aerospace engineering and orbital mechanics 2 seconds after i launched my rocket. If you like rockets, silly green aliens and science, this is the game for you but DO NOT BUY THE SECOND GAME, EVER!

This game even after being released over 9 years ago, still holds its place as a very engaging space exploration simulator with its very realistic physics and overwhelming modding community which makes the game very enjoyable to this day. In conclusion, Jeb is dead and I killed him.

Kerbal Space Program is a perfect blend of science and slapstick. It’s a complex game, but unique.

You don't often get the sense of achievement and exploration Kerbal Space Program offers for its price-tag. After you manage to get around the learning curve you'll find an immensely educational and fun game. You can't truly call yourself a space enthusiast and miss out on that one. After all, how hard can rocket science be?

If you are a creative type who loves to fool around with physics, you’ll probably love Kerbal Space Program. If you’re just looking to create unbelievable, ridiculous rockets with an impractical number of fuel pods, you can still have plenty of fun. Whatever your level of engagement, you can enjoy shooting these little green Smurfs into space – or into the nearby scenery.

An inspired mix of real science, sandbox gameplay, and space simulation – that is both a lot more entertaining and a lot more accessible than you’d expect.

'Kerbal Space Program' may seem like a peaceful casual funny game but rather appears as a complete simulator. You won't have the courage to play it more than one hour if you don't stop sufficiently at the tutorials. And just when you think it can't be that hard to reach the stars, you suddenly realize that there are an impressive amount of parameters required just to visit the stratosphere without landing anywhere. The game strangely manages to give you the impression of total freedom when it doesn't allow you to go anywhere without following and understanding an incredible amount of rules. Each step you will achieve in order to reach an objective will demand you to dig deeper into the game mechanics. 'Kerbal Space Program' tries to be funny but I think its humour is totally obliterated by its incredible difficulty. Graphics seems effortless and do not help to truly get involved in the game. It is important to highlight the fact that 'Kerbal Space Program' benefits from a huge community that is hyper-active. Play it on Steam and you will easily disover plenty of crazy-original mods.

Very basic game, not for everyone, and not for me, if you like a slow construction building mad scientist kind of thing this is for you, if not just stay away
SummaryIn Kerbal Space Program you have to build a space-worthy ship, capable of flying its crew out into space without killing any of them. At your disposal is a collection of parts, which must be assembled to create a functional craft. Each part has its own function and will affect the way a ship flies (or does not). So strap yourself in, and... Read More
