    My only issue is that KSP is still a really tricky game and I feel that a bit more could have been done to improve the tutorial and how to use these new features.

    The trial and error methodology to creating something that doesn't blow up on the launchpad means you're actually learning real lessons, even if it's something simple like overloading the weight on one side making it fall over.

    That this highly complex simulation appears on consoles, is remarkable. But with its unoptimized and overloaded pad controls the challenge to make progress and eventually get into space is even higher then on PC.

    An exceptional game that delivers, perhaps more than any other game I've played, exactly what it promises.

    While the extremely high level of difficulty at the start can be daunting for newcomers, the level of detail and realism mixed into the building and flying segments make it well worth the time spent learning in Kerbal Space Program.

    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.

    Console gamers will be pleased with the experience and it seems like the Xbox One port was designed for new players in mind. I would definitely recommend it because the sheer enjoyment you get out of Kerbal Space Program overcome its problems.

    Despite some serious design flaws, a few bugs and a neglected presentation, Kerbal Space Program remains as a unique proposition for young astronomers, sci-fi fans and space enthusiasts out there. The sheer amount of content, the level of realism, the scope and depth of the game offset the shortcomings but just barely. The port could've been so much better, though.

    Controls are hard but after you get used to them they are great.

    Very fun and looks great on my 70 inch TV rather than my 27 inch pc.    Controls are hard but after you get used to them they are great.

    Having it in my front room is a blast and sharing the game with my kids and family is cool.

    Glad it was brought to console.    … Full Review »

    It is very hard to review this game properly since I never really got past the tutorials but when a company can't be bothered to take the timeIt is very hard to review this game properly since I never really got past the tutorials but when a company can't be bothered to take the time to port their game properly, I can't be bothered to play it any lobger rhan necessary. Main issues: controls are horrid. You can tell it's made for a PC when there's a mouse cursor on the screen that you move around. The font size is ridiculously small for ise on a console and the Windows have to be dragged put of the way during the tutorial. I mean seriously.. they couldn't even be bothered to make sure their tutorial windows weren't in the way of the actions you need to take. For anyone wanting to play this game, grab it on PC as it is amazing. Otherwise wait until they fix these issues or be aware of them before buying this game.… Full Review »

I have racked up more than 7 thousand hours on the pc version, and I have been playing it since just after the demo version came out. But this... I have to say, DO NOT BUY IT. It is a waste of your money, the controls are absolutely horrid, the gui design is clunky, and you will regret every penny.… Full Review »
