    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.

    This game is the most played game in my steam library and is my favorite simulator game of all time. The amount of things you can do in this game is incredible and the physics are incredibly realistic. I have never been so addicted to a game before.

    This is possibly the best simulator you can buy right now. The physics engine is very impressive and the graphics are ok with the help of some mods. Furthermore there are many easy to install mods to keep you playing.

    Замечательная игра, но одной солнечной системы уж слишком мало, были хотя бы еще пару звезд и это была бы твердая десятка.

    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.

    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.

    It's unique and if you are motivated by seeing a goal and going for it step by step by learning the mechanics of the game, you will like it.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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 !

    This is A Game Where You Can Make Rockets, And I Love It.

    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 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

    ksp is a game that you never stop learning in and if in the off chance you get board of it you can always install mods!

    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

    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.

    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

    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...

    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]
