    Si je devais choisir un jeu pour partir sur une ile isolée ce serait Kerbal Space Program.
    Un des jeux les plus intelligents que je connaisse.
    Le seul jeu qui m'amuse encore après 7 ans et plus de mille heures de jeu...

    I love space and planes, this game has both. It's easy to get in to, but hard to master. You can build basically whatever you want with the tools the basegame offers. But I must say, the game does become boring after a few hundred hours. The graphics are not good and without a proper pc it runs like s**t. But that's where the mods come in.

If you want it in the game they have it. Combining the graphics mods with gameplay mods makes the game fun again, I would say I know since I have above 500 hours in the game, and none of it would have been possible without the mods.… Expand

    It's a very good game, it even taught me enough to be able to make my own space program in real life, but, it's a quite basic game without mods. If you want to play this game, make sure to install mods using CKAN (Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network)

    Отличный ракетостроительный симулятор, своя солнечная система. Много возможностей для постройки ракет. Достаточно большой игровой мир. Только графика оставляет желать лучшего.

    To make it short and simple, if i could only play one game for the rest of my life it would be this one (with a few mods).

    I've often heard of this game & thought it might feel too much like school physics work while playing it. I finally got it recently & Im disappointed with myself for not getting it sooner. It's great fun & has far more to it than I thought. I'd recommend following a few YouTubers like Scott Manleys career mode guides to get started & it will be very enjoyable.

    Kerbal Space Programm is a creative, well-made and succsess-deserving quality game with a lot of good points:
    The planets in the custom system are not too difficult to get to and creative and well-made.
    The rocket-building UI is easy to use, but also provides advanced tools for experienced players. The parts are diverse and creative. And the physics are very realistic. The only flaw    Kerbal Space Programm is a creative, well-made and succsess-deserving quality game with a lot of good points:

    The only flaw I have seen so far is:
    The phystics engine cas be finnicky and unresponsive, doing something many players call "awakening the kraken."

    The mods are also very well made, other than the high quantity of troll mods in games like minecraft.    … Expand

    There are some games after you play and finish them, you remember, miss and want to play again. This is one of them. Whenever i see this game i'm thinking of playing it again.

    A fun game, however it is a bit disappointing that it hasn't expanded too much aside from parts through its updates, the game is basically seen as sandbox, but it is kind of disappointing that the available Campaign mode isn't fully polished, with many of the same missions, you also don't really get rewarded too much aside of a couple of milestones for experiencing with your own planes andA fun game, however it is a bit disappointing that it hasn't expanded too much aside from parts through its updates, the game is basically seen as sandbox, but it is kind of disappointing that the available Campaign mode isn't fully polished, with many of the same missions, you also don't really get rewarded too much aside of a couple of milestones for experiencing with your own planes and space stations… Expand

    It's a shame about KSP2.

    Good game. The gameplay is not very good, this is the main disadvantage of the game. Acceleration works poorly in the game, problems with bugs. Interesting career, about 100 hours in the game. A career has marketing, missions, science. It seems to me that I want to become a space engineer. In this game, you need to learn a lot, helpers read books.

    This one is one of my favorite games ever existed. I've played ~2000 hours, thanks to modding, and it never becomes too boring, there's always some new achievements to achieve and things to try, and there's a lot of things to learn about our world and orbital mechanics in this game, which can be understood intuitively, rather than memorizing some equations.

    Отличный симулятор исследования космоса, песочница, генерирующая множество разнообразных и интересных ситуаций. В игре присутствуют некоторые минусы, но многие из них прекрасно исправляются модами.

    Such a interesting take on the sci fi gameplay. I love the crafting aspect of the game where ur given full reigns of what you can create out of somewhat realistic choices. Enjoyed it thoroughly, had a hard time in the beginning tho can't lie, just play the tutorial if you dont wanna bumble (even the bumbling is fun) around like me !

    Nearly perfect. In most other games, glitches can ruin the experience because you have a set objective, but in this game you can make crazy stuff with certain glitches and the quick save feature lets you go back in time to try to combat the glitch.

    Replayability at it's best. This game could be played for hundred of hours exploring and developing and thinking. Obviously this isn't a game for everyone and not all would enjoy the complexity or general overhead. Overall, a great game.

    This game is amazing. The ability to build your own spaceships and fly them is just awesome. I love exploring and landing crafts and building bases and SO much stuff. I also love the mod support and the ability to use mods to get so much more content out of the game. This game is pure fun.

    You can create anything you want and mod the hell out of this game. I have almost 800 hours and I still haven't seen most of the stuff in this game

    A fantasticaly hard game and by hard I mean brain power, this game is made for the interlectuals out there. There is no guidance and you can build pretty much anything you can think of, but will it fly ? probably not but the explosions are a joy to watch

    Kerbal Space Program is certainly in my top 5 games of all time. It was so refreshing to play a game that made me think and was incredibly fun at the same time, rather than the generic crap that just gets thrown in our faces all the time.

The way the game incrementally pushes your thought to achieving milestones in space exploration is brilliant - just learning how to get a ship into orbit felt like a real achievement and gave me a better understanding of spaceflight. Then through to orbital rendezvous, fly by the moon, lading on the moon, going to Duna etc. all gave me a sense of accomplishment that I had solved how to overcome these challenges without much help at all.… Expand

    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]
