    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

    Looks like fun but why is there no tutorial, I don't know what to press nor what to do.

    It's a really good game for who wants to be an astronaut since I was a kid. But terrible controls (in editor). I'm waiting for KSP 2.

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

    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...

    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

    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.

    Kerbal Space Program is a space flight simulation video game developed by Mexican developer Squad. In the game, players direct a nascent space program, staffed and crewed by green humanoid aliens known as "Kerbals". The game features a realistic orbital physics engine, allowing for various real-life orbital maneuvers such as Hohmann transfer orbits and orbital rendezvous.

    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

    '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'Kerbal Space Program' may seem like a peaceful casual funny game but rather appears as a complete simulator.

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.

    Honestly, one of the most clever games ever made.
    It's a shame about KSP2.

    This is A Game Where You Can Make Rockets, And I Love It.
    I Learned So Much And Became A Space Fan With This.
    And With The KSP Community, You Can Make Mods In KSP.

    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.

    A good game with a novel concept that's bogged down by an extremely poorly designed UI. The art style is a bit inconsistent in some places. However, it has a very vibrant community of competent modders that help the PC version immensely.

    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 !

    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]
