    Un simulateur de programme spatial qui consiste à lancer des nains verdâtres dans l'espace... une sorte de plaisanterie pour ingénieurs de la NASA entre midi et deux, vu que les béotiens terre-à-terre que nous sommes n'y entravent que dalle malgré les didacticiels de ce "jeu" qui se veut aussi humoristique et cynique qu'incroyablement hermétique.

    Il faut dire que l'interface générale, les commandes et les menus, qu'il s'agisse de la construction des fusées ou du pilotage en lui-même, sont aussi absconses que les principes de la thermodynamique ou autres lois cinétiques newtoniennes (où est le levier pour décoller et passer en hyperespace, bordel ?).

    Bref, l'interface est à dégueuler, les graphismes (jeu indé oblige) sont à gerber et bien évidemment, tout est en anglais très intégral. La construction avare en statistiques ou autres informations qui pourraient servir se limite ainsi à jouer avec des légos par essais et erreurs et s'il est "amusant" de voir sa fusée exploser, le manque d'accessibilité et le caractère très rugueux de ce foutoir scientifique lasse rapidement.

    Un programme à revoir donc entièrement tant sa lourdeur l'écrase de son propre poids et de sa prétention de pseudo-jeu qui se la joue intello à gogos.    … Expand

Unfortunately, Squad in it's redesign did a terrible job for it's full Commercial release, Kerbal Space Program 1.0 resulting in a kludged together game that was very poorly checked by the beta team resulting in patches that are making the an even more kludged game where play is becoming tedious and boring. In career mode the contracts given are way out of on what the physics of the game allow you to do making it necessary to at least have the "mulligan" button clicked so that you at least have a Kerbal alive to play with. In sand box mode it's a little bit more fun but at the Kerbals expense.

    All in all, This game went from a 9.5 with version 0.90 to a 5 with the introduction of KSP1.0, which is now a 3 with the patch 1.04 a few day ago.    … Expand

    Fun and educational, but most people will put it down after a half hour because it is, frankly, quite dry and dull. As an educational tool and a design game, it is good, no complaint. But it's still an educational game, and has little to draw you in.

    Months after release this game is still buggy. Literally every aspect of it has so many bugs and glitches that it is almost impossible to complete even the simplest tasks - your navball glitches, nodes disappear, quest tracking stops, your ship goes through surface and explodes underground, I could go on and on. And all these bugs are present in the latest version! This game would beMonths after release this game is still buggy.

This game would be amazing and I would give it 10/10 cause I am a huge space nerd, but endless steaks of problems just make this game unplayable.… Expand

    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

    Kerbal space program has the potential to be on the top of my favourites list. However not speaking for the PC version. The console version is nearly unplayable. Countless bugs and crashes, and worst of all corrupted save files. I’ve lost numerous hours of progress because of corrupted saves. And nearly about to request my money back.

And nearly about to request my money back. I can’t suggest KSP to fellow gamers, let alone to children. Game is brilliant, and enjoyable besides the software issues though. But so many issues it’s disappointing. And I am hoping there is future attempts to remedy those issues, till then I don’t see it being worth anything over ten dollars. March 2018.… Expand

    Kerbal Space Program is a must have game for anyone who enjoys space exploration or physics. You build, test, and fly space and aerospace ships. There's a creativity mode with no financial aspect and a campaign that challenges your budget and design skills.

    I would simply push anyone questioning this game to give it a try. It's not for everyone, but I've never met a person who dislikes it.

    Games in not politics? democracy? No, you haven’t heard ... you probably think that the game will be buying more? Or will they begin to respect you somehow? How did you manage to make the game ... Russophobes and fascists...

    игра сильно переоценена. скучный геймплей, убогая графика. не стоит потраченного времени.

    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.

    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]

    Neither for the impatient, nor for absolute purists this simulation although focuses to the latter significantly more. When your game is supported by NASA itself, you are just doing something exceptionally well. [Issue#253]
