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]

A game, where you are an engineer, whose job is to make a rocket from scratch. Lots of planets, where you can land. Simply a great game, spent a lot of time designing rockets. The first landing on Mun was very enjoyable, was happier than ever. But the gap between landing on Mun and flying to other far planets is too big, and that gap is exactly what makes most of the players stop playing. Then you start building sattelites, space stations, and yeah, it is at some point more enjoyable, than landing on the Mun. Sattelite networks are difficult creating, but beautiful when it cames to usage. When you are tired of the space, you start creating planes. Taking off and then landing successfully makes you wanna continue playing.
10/10 without even thinking

This game is incredible! Once you achieve to get a hold of the basics, your possibilities are endless and the goals you can set yourself are very rewarding. Altough this game has a steep learning curve, I believe that if you invest enough time into the game, you will eventually grasp the concept and realise how magnificient this game is.

Kerbal Space Program is a fun and engaging game that also teaches you how spacecraft work. In my experience, it makes learning about rockets and physics enjoyable and easy to understand. Overall, it’s a great mix of entertainment and education.

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
